Very popular among locals for wedding receptions or graduation parties, this 14th century wine cellar is also a favorite for tourists: pouring by groups from the metro-station-like entrance, located opposite the world famous Astronomical Clock, on Prague main square. The first room (a lounge with mural paintings of beheaded Czech lords) is usually used as a pub. Diners tend to sit in the larger « Konšelský sál ». Under high Roman and Gothic vaulted ceilings. The stone walls, period furniture, historic weapons, coats of arms, tin articles and trophies (you will notice the splendid wild bear, right by the entrance) enhance the atmosphere and warmed up by the live music (from Thursday until Sunday evening) and songs of groups which obviously like Prague and its reputed beers!  

The place is touristy. So what about food? You will not disappoint; on the contrary, you will experience here a wealthy, epicurean regime. Those who like grilled meat will definitely have good time at U Zlaté Konvice. There is a large open fire chimney to cook the thick pieces of steak, poultry, or this wonderful piglet which appears to be the house most wanted specialty. The roaster is as old as sophisticated; animated by a long belt, pulling a solid attraction to a strange, ageless clock-like engine made out of dozens of gears.
