👍👍 After a week and a half in Czech Republic, I was beginning to think the craft beer revolution here was a myth; until I found this bar. An excellent selection of tap beers that change day by day. Ondrej was extremely friendly and helpful and, unlike other supposed craft beer pubs in Brno and Prague,... People often mention beer, beers, craft, Brno,

    After a week and a half in Czech Republic, I was beginning to think the craft beer revolution here was a myth; until I found this bar. An excellent selection of tap beers that change day by day. Ondrej was extremely friendly and helpful and, unlike other supposed craft beer pubs in Brno and Prague, both Ondrej and his colleague seemed interested in beer and interested in finding beers I would like, or might challenge my palette. The atmosphere is minimal and fresh, which I quite liked, a nice view over the Square. There’s decent light meals in neighboring stalls too. The only downside is it closes early than advertised on Google Maps if it’s quiet, but you can buy takeaway bottles, so it’s not all bad. It’s not cheap for Czechia, but it’s well priced for what you get; I’ve paid more for lesser beers and rude service around the big cities. As for the beer itself, everything I had was excellent, the IPAs were up with the best from the US and NZ and the other varieties I tried were superb examples of style. These guys embody what the craft beer movement is about - enthusiasm for high quality boutique brewing and expanding the culture.

    Perfect place for a pint of carefuly selected high-quality craft beer. Also, there is an amazing view of cabagge market and Saint Peter and Paul cathedral. Another view point is ať the rooftop of the building where you can take your beer.

    It was kinda hot in side, but in general everything was quiet great! New beer from around, new experiences

  • 5/5 Nikolas B. 8 months ago on Google
    The best place to taste some craft beers in Brno. It can be found at the first floor of an old shopping center. Not many beers on tap (maybe 7-8), but many more in cans or bottles most of them from Czech or Polish microbreweries

    Way over priced. Better options in the area.

    Friendly guys. Great range of beer. Definite recommend to craft beer fans.

  • 4/5 Jana K. 11 months ago on Google
    My new favorite place in Brno for drinking a wide range of interesting beers! Or for buying some beers to take home. Ask for whatever, the guy working behind the bar is a walking beer encyclopedia and he will surely recommend you something good and according to your preference. There is no food available, just drinks. So don't count with dinner here. Also, since the place is in a hall without door form the escalators, it can be a bit chilli in the winter, so just count with that. It won't be an overheated pub.

    Large range of beers, good advises from the staff, if you want to go in a place with many beers and somebody to guide you through, definetelly need to visit this place, we received even useful info for beer places in Prague

    Great selection of craft beers, large space, pretty "simplistic" interior but that's part of the charm

  • 5/5 Kacper T. 1 year ago on Google
    Due to covid this place looks like some kind of a post-apo bar because it is in the center of the old town in a abandoned shopping center. You can sit on the roof and have an amazing view of few of Brno landmarks. The beers are great, you can either try them on-site or buy them to go.

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty beers, small venue though. Hard to get a table. But worth it.

  • 5/5 Slick 2 years ago on Google
    Andre(Andrea?) Was very helpful and knowledgable. They had imports but i was interested in trying the domestic craft. I learned(and drank) a lot here over 2 visits. My favorites were the falkon independent brewery offerings.

    Take it from me, I know all the places to get great beer in Brno and this place ranks in the top 3. Hands down! Great service, friendly, deeply knowledgeable about beer and engaging.Enjoy the views of zeleny trh from the front and of the old town hall in the back. On warmer days, head upstairs for amazing 360 degree views of the city center. One important note: any issues you have with the operation of the premises is not a reflection of Craft but rather of the utterly incapable abilities of the facility management team. Nonetheless, don't let that ruin your experience here. If you want a wide selection of fresh and tasty Czech craft brews on tap, this is a great place!

    Great bar in an unusual setting. Well worth finding if in Brno.

    Very good craft beers, large selection friendly and helpful service! A very good viewpoint for the square. A few meters away there are several shops where you can buy food and sweets.

😠 Very poor service by the starobrno uniformed chubby young beer woman. Dumpling has hair on it, a place with poor hygiene. Standard has dropped for their beers as well.

👍👍 We had the most amazing dinner to cap off our last night in Brno. The staff were amazing and the general vibe of the restaurant is so good. The steaks were amazing. We had the porterhouse and the t-bone, they were so juicy and full of flavour. We also had the sommelier take us through a rum tasting....

😐 We stopped here for lunch and because of the Christmas markets it’s was very busy. Despite this, the service was very good and the waiter was very friendly and spoke great English. The only real let down was the steaks. They obviously use a grill that’s too hot because despite ordering medium rare,...
