Beer hall with steam trains in Prague. The waiter takes the order, and the trains bring it. Cool local beer Krusovica (we drank black), delicious. The menu is in English, German and Czech. It's in Russian, they'll bring it if you ask. The waiters speak Russian. We were there for Christmas in 2014, and the menu was more varied. There's a more versatile menu now. (The burgers are different). We prefer local cuisine. We had goulash (generally not bad, but I ate better in Karlovy Vary) and pork marinated in beer (very tasty, I recommend it). It's fun to follow the trains (each one has a name- Adalka, Gabriela, Amalia, etc.). They travel all the time, deliver orders, collect glasses. If you are in Prague, I recommend a visit, but the price is above average. The beer is very tasty, I highly recommend it. But Velkopopovitsky Goat black is still tastier (it's not here)

If you want to feel like a five-year-old kid who saw a real action movie for the first time, you urgently need to go to Wenceslas Square, to the Vytopna restaurant. This place is right next to the monument to St. Wenceslas, and inside there is a real show going on, cleaner than a bar fight from a good action! The trick here is simple, but ingenious - it's not the waiter who brings the beer to you, but a real little steam train on rails across the hall. I'm sitting at the table like a champion, waiting for my mug - and suddenly I hear a horn honk, and a trailer with a cold Krushovitz is coming towards me at full speed! To be honest, the childish delight overwhelmed me more than the punch in the jaw in the final scene - I almost jumped for joy right at the table. The place is a real monument to engineering ingenuity. Rails are laid across the entire hall, steam trains run back and forth non-stop, all the visitors around are taking pictures and smiling, the atmosphere is family-friendly and charged with positivity. I took a boar's knee with cabbage - the portion is specific, generous in Czech, there is enough fuel for the whole evening of training. But here you need to keep your defense tight, like before a serious sparring match. The place is so hyped that it's crowded - like at the final round of a tournament, you'll have to wait a long time for a table without reservations, and you can't even get through in the evening. The prices here are above average, and the choice of dishes is not as rich as we would like - this is not a gastronomic palace, but rather a show with a snack load. Otherwise, this is definitely not an ordinary place, but a real attraction for the whole family. You should definitely go here once - it will be more exciting than watching any action movie. Book a table in advance, keep protection from the crowd, and the evening will be as bright as a jump shot!

It's a great place. Atmospheric. Children and fans of railway models will especially like it. Very tasty dishes, excellent beer. It is better to book a table in advance, as there may not be any available seats.

A place that must be visited. A brasserie where all the dishes are brought to the tables by train. The main beer is Krusovice. There are always a lot of people queuing to enter on the street. There are no special delicacies for food, but everything that was ordered is delicious.

An original restaurant where drinks are brought by an electric train! It's very cool! A delicious "assorted salads" that actually turned out to be a Caesar salad with bacon! Very juicy delicious breaded chicken. The prices are normal for Prague, you can even pay in EUR, but you will still get the change in crowns. Even on weekdays at 5 p.m. it was crowded, but not noisy. That is, it is better to book a table on weekends. It is located in the very tourist center of Prague, on Wenceslas Square. I recommend everyone to go there!

Despite all the negative reviews and my own negative experience in other establishments in Prague, this restaurant pleasantly surprised me. Yes, it's not cheap and the menu is not for everyone, not very diverse. I would like to see some of the simplest snacks for beer, and dishes not only from beef, but also from poultry, for example. There are no complaints about beer, although maybe I just don't understand it. I came at about one o'clock in the afternoon, got in line, there are places for those waiting for the table where you can sit down, they give you something like a pager. When the table is cleared for you, the pager starts ringing. I'm not sure I can go outside with him. I didn't understand how to book a table in advance. Apparently only by phone. I waited for about 15 minutes. The staff speaks both English and Russian. No one tipped me, but I gave them to the waiter myself, because he was really very kind and paid a lot of attention to my order. It's worth going once, so to speak, to close the gestalt.

We had heard about this place from friends and therefore, once again arriving in Prague, we got out here. There was a small queue at the entrance, but we were quickly seated (there were 3 of us). Of course, the serving of drinks by steam locomotives made us very happy) I think it will be possible to come here with children - they will definitely appreciate this format. But we adults also liked it. The kitchen is great too! Chicken wings in door blue van love sauce!!!!!!!

Be sure to visit this restaurant! He fulfills a childhood dream of a big railway) The food is traditional for Czech catering. The beer is good, and its serving is just wonderful. Small locomotives deliver drinks in whole trains. The main thing is to pick up the contents on time!

The idea for five) we arrived at 12 p.m., there was no queue, sat down at the window on Wenceslas Square. Beer for 55 crowns, a mixture of cider and beer for 64 crowns. The service fee is 25 CZK per person. Tips are at your discretion. They serve quickly and politely, they do not speak or understand Russian, English is OK. I bought their branded T-shirt for 100 crowns. A lot of people were sitting with the children) I hope the children were not drinking beer) They brought me beer in a broken glass, showed it to me, and replaced it. I am happy with everything, I recommend it.

The same beer restaurant in Prague with steam trains, a tourist mecca, a place that must be visited! In addition to beer, there is also excellent cuisine! The prices are reasonable, the portions are large, the staff is polite and friendly, the atmosphere is original, and the location is convenient. The attraction and decoration of the city!

I recommend a mandatory visit. A good-quality restaurant with a kitchen for a solid four. But the main thing in it is a full-fledged operating mini railway. With bridges, arrows, full scaled-down copies of diesel locomotives and steam locomotives with wagons platforms on which a railway track is laid to each table and the freshest beer and drinks are brought. In memory of the visit, you can buy branded glasses for little money.

A good tourist attraction with steam trains bringing drinks. The portions are large. The traditional "boar's knee" can be safely ordered for three or four people. Fans of the first courses will like the vole with wild mushrooms and sauerkraut. The prices for the dishes are typical for the center of Prague. But at the entrance you will be warned that you will have to pay an additional 25 kronor for each adult (for the delivery of drinks by train))). IN GENERAL, I RECOMMEND IT!

We came to this institution on the fourth day of our stay in Prague. After a bunch of cool cafes with delicious food and beer, this restaurant upset. Two stars just for the trains. Apparently, if the place is promoted, you don't have to worry about the food. The waiters are Russian-speaking. I ordered baked beef for 32 hours, and it tastes like unleavened boiled meat. Half of the grilled vegetables in a small plate are onions... I liked only dark beer from the beer train, and even that is not as tasty as, for example, in the Beer Museum and other places. The prices are too high, they don't know how to cook. They could have marinated the meat better.

Master go for those who are in Prague. But it's not worth going more than once for visiting the city, since only the story with beer in trailers, a layout and steam trains is good there, and the kitchen, to my taste, is so-so - the choice is not very big plus everything is very greasy. Since we came there for the first time upon arrival in Prague, I was afraid that fatty food was part of the national cuisine. But no, then we ate in other places - it was very tasty.

An interesting place. The main highlight is that a railway is laid throughout the restaurant and steam trains carry drinks to the tables along it. The first establishment of this brand appeared in the mountains. Brno, then Prague. In addition to Wenceslas Square, there is another "Vytopna" (steam locomotive) in the Palladium shopping complex. About the food...I would say that there are many more interesting places, although here, of course, you can eat. Prices are higher than the average prices in the center. Beer - "Krushovice" and "Musketeer". Staff...as luck would have it), not everyone leaves a pleasant impression. I recommend that you definitely come in, but rather to drink a glass of something and watch the serving / delivery of drinks). With children it is absolutely necessary!)))

Positive: 1. Interesting serving of beer by steam trains (for this we went here) Cons: 1. A small selection of beers and snacks 2. I did not bring a train, but a box with a trailer. I understand that this is how they test the mechanism, but it was a shame that they couldn't take normal photos. 3. Steam trains deliver only drinks. Small snacks such as French fries could also be carried, given that this is the main advantage of the establishment.

Beer Fan Depot — Výtopna The restaurant's feature is the delivery of beer by steam trains. The waiter takes the order and drinks are brought to you by rail right to the table. It looks very funny! It is worth booking a table in advance, otherwise you will have to wait for 30-40 minutes at a busy time.

The trains are cool, of course) it's only worth going for them) The menu is normal, the pizza was delicious, but I didn't really like the tea. The beer was good, according to my husband. Definitely go for impressions, even the entrance fee should not stop you, especially since it is not really very large.

We were here 5 years ago, we really liked it, we went several times. We are somewhat disappointed now. There was a very tasty onion soup, they stopped cooking it. There was a delicious wheat beer Krushovitsa Musketeer, now fortified instead, I did not like it. The trick of the institution is that drinks are brought by a model train, but now they charge an additional fee for this. They couldn't pay for a very long time! At first, no one came up, although I tried to signal. I went myself, found our waiter, asked for the bill, he never brought it, although he walked by, cleared the dishes from the tables. I had to "catch" another waiter. It should be noted that at the beginning we were escorted to the table by a pleasant, sociable man, which initially set us up in a positive way.

This is the first time I've seen waiters poke at the bill and ask for tips. The kitchen is good- delicious, there is no service, we waited 20 minutes for the waiter, but when the bill was brought, they clarified that tips were not included in the amount. Guys, give me the service first, and then count on the tea. In all restaurants in the Czech Republic, if you order a drink in a bottle, the waiter will bring a bottle and a glass, put it down and leave. Well, why should he leave a tip?

I don't recommend it. Everyone already knows what the trick is. Heads and Tails can be reviewed. Actually, because of this program, we decided to look here. The pitch is interesting, of course, I do not argue. If you really want to, you can go and order a beer once, take a couple of photos. But if you drop the pitch, then... 1) it's cramped, a real dining room 2) the tables are poorly wiped (maybe we were so lucky), 3) we waited a long time for the waiter to reach us (before that we went to Kozlovna, served in one fell swoop. We liked it better there), 4) paid entrance and 5) sliced beer is not cut, but a pathetic semblance.

Very unusual. Glasses with beer, etc. A train with platforms delivers cold drinks to the table. Glasses on the platform. Such is the applied use of the German children's railway. Of the minuses: now it is necessary to additionally pay for delivery by rail. This has never happened before.

It's delicious, just like everywhere else in Prague. But apart from the unusual serving of beer, there is nothing special. A tourist place, the staff speaks Russian. There are a lot of people, in the evening there is usually a queue for clearing tables. Very cramped!

A great atmospheric place. The food is top class! The ribs were melting in my mouth, incredibly delicious. The knuckle is also very tasty, I recommend it. The only thing is, the cider is not the most delicious in the city. And cute steam trains that go back and forth bringing and taking away dishes)). It is definitely worth visiting here!

The cafe is not bad, it's interesting that they came up with trains that deliver beer, but the beer itself is the most ordinary, nothing special (Pilsner, if I'm not mistaken), which is a little frustrating. And, of course, the toilet killed him... Just a nightmare for a tourist destination! The cracked tiles on the ceiling - all communications are outside, the sink is not working properly... Broken off fastenings of the liquid soap dispenser. And all this has clearly been in this form for more than one day. Just like in some kind of eatery, and not on a metropolitan scale. It should be a shame for comrades, chopping such money on tourists, to absolutely disregard the organization of their comfortable stay within the walls of their institution!

It is more a tourist than a gastronomic institution; I really liked the idea of the railway, but the expectations were not fulfilled for the food, maybe we personally did not guess the dishes. The beer is delicious, as in the whole of Prague) Put a check mark for yourself))
