## About

The history of the "U Medvidku" building goes back to the beginnings of the 15th century. The house was named after one of its first owners, mr. Jan nedvídek, who founded the brewery in 1466 and manufactured beer until 1898.

Afterwards, the owners of the brewery houses could not compete with the newly-built industrial breweries; therefore, they closed their small breweries and founded the town brewery in Holešovice. Mr. Karel Vendulak, the last brewer, became the first director of the brewery. The brewery was rebuilt into one of the largest alehouses in Prague, featuring Prague's first tingl-tangl /cabaret/ at the beginning of the 20th century. In the nineteen-fifties, the premises was taken away from its owners, without any compensation, by a socialist government. The house deteriorated until 1989, and it wasn't until after its return to the inheritors of the original owners that the premises underwent vast reconstruction, during which the alehouse was extended and a stylish hotel was built.

The last stage of the reconstruction was completed in 2005, when the original malt house was rebuilt as the "house of beer" featuring a brewery store, congress hall and mini-brewery. The first brewing batch was symbolically finished on november 17, 2004, exactly 15 years after the "Velvet" revolution in the czech republic.
