Pivnice Na Štokách: Modern Czech Pub Cuisine in Humpolec’s Highest Room

An Elevated Dining Space

Located on the fourth floor of the Bernard Brewery in Humpolec, Pivnice Na Štokách delivers refined Czech pub cuisine with panoramic city views. Visitors ride the elevator to reach a bright dining room anchored by a horseshoe-shaped bar and an active open kitchen. The Gault&Millau guide awards this venue twelve points, noting how the layout and coordinated service create a seamless experience. Every table captures a clear sightline toward the streets below.

Seasonal Brewing Kitchen

The culinary team rotates their menu four times annually to prioritize ingredients harvested nearby. Sourcing decisions favor regional producers like Farm Lazar and Farm Bláto, keeping supply chains short and flavors fresh. Slow-roasted pork ribs glazed with plum beer sauce sit alongside aged Angus steak finished with truffle velouté. Vegetarian plates receive equal attention through dishes like glazed carrot with buckwheat crumble and strawberry salad. This approach keeps Czech cuisine grounded while allowing seasonal creativity to guide each plate.

Paired Flavors and Finished Notes

Beverage selections run parallel to the food program with draft beers pulled straight from storage tanks alongside house-made non-alcoholic alternatives. The wine list emphasizes Czech vineyards and neighboring Central European producers. Hearty starters such as rich beef broth with root vegetables and farm-raised meat transition smoothly into comforting mains. The meal typically concludes with chocolate mousse served over raspberry sauce, delivering a balanced sweet finish that pairs neatly with the final pint.
