Claims to be the oldest brew-pub in the world, founded in 1499. I don't think the building's quite that old, but it's a wonderfully atmospheric pub with intricate murals and a comfortable beer garden. The beer brewed on the premises is a dark lager in the style brewed before light lagers were developed in Plzeň and is delicious. Unfortunately, U Fleků has, since the outbreak of un-fettered capitalism in the Czech Republic, turned into a "see how much we can rip off the tourists" type venue, but despite this, it's worth a visit to see the fantastic interior and to taste the gorgeous beer. Beware if your waiter brings a glass of schnapps or similar with your beer; apparently this is done in such a way as to make you think it's on the house, but actually you're going to get charged a lot for it, so you should make it clear you don't want it.
