Strahov Monastic Brewery
Brewery in Prague
Nestled just steps from the historic Strahov Monastery, the Strahov Monastic Brewery (Klášterní pivovar Strahov) offers a hearty and memorable culinary experience that pairs perfectly with a day of sightseeing. This microbrewery and restaurant, set within a centuries-old complex, serves up traditional Czech dishes with rustic flair—think schnitzels, beer-marinated pork ribs, creamy onion soup, and classic apple strudel. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with efficient service and prices that remain friendly despite the site’s historic prestige.
What truly sets the brewery apart is its impressive selection of house-brewed beers, crafted on-site with a focus on both heritage and innovation. The signature St. Norbert lagers, named after the monastery’s founding saint, are full of flavor and brewed using traditional methods with a modern twist. Whether you’re a fan of dark, malty brews or lighter, citrusy ales, there’s something on tap for every palate—and the staff are always happy to offer recommendations or tasting flights for those looking to explore.
In the warmer months, the brewery’s courtyard garden becomes an idyllic haven. Communal wooden tables shaded by umbrellas make it the perfect place to relax after a walk up Petřín Hill or a tour of the monastery’s famed library. From here, you can enjoy elevated views of Prague’s rooftops while sipping a cold beer under the open sky. For those visiting in cooler seasons, the cozy indoor dining rooms maintain a rustic charm, with stone walls and wooden beams echoing the building’s monastic roots.
