Lokál U Bílé kuželky, Traditional restaurant in Malá Strana, Czech Republic.
Lokál U Bílé kuželky is a restaurant in Prague's Malá Strana district, a short walk from Charles Bridge. The dining rooms have wooden paneling and sturdy tables, and large metal tanks in the lower section store the fresh Pilsner Urquell served on tap.
The building has been used for food and drink since 1862, when it first operated as a wine business. Over time it became a neighborhood gathering place and is now part of the Lokál restaurant group.
The menu centers on traditional Czech dishes like tripe soup with marjoram, homemade Talian sausage, and Prague ham served with fresh grated horseradish. These are everyday foods that locals in Prague have eaten for generations, not specialties invented for tourists.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the historic center and from Charles Bridge. It tends to fill up in the evenings and on weekends, so arriving early or booking a table ahead of time is a good idea.
The interior walls are engraved with drawings by Studio Najbrt, including a dragon carrying a tray of glasses and a stag head. These illustrations are not typical of traditional Czech pubs and give the space a visual character all its own.
