A House That Remembers More Than Three Centuries
The history of the house goes deep into the past. The building is already marked on maps from 1713 and originally belonged to the Schwarzenberg family. Since then, the entire Smíchov has transformed – from a former suburb to an industrial district and now to a vibrant urban center. But the house has remained.
And with it, its unique atmosphere. An atmosphere that cannot be created by any decoration or new furniture. It arises only where people have been meeting for generations.
From Old Smíchov to Today's Inn
The tradition of hospitality in this house has not been interrupted for more than 250 years. Over different periods, the owners, innkeepers, tavern keepers, and guests have changed, but one thing has remained the same – people came here for food, beer, meetings, and moments of ordinary human comfort. Locals, Smíchov families, workers from the surroundings, brewery staff, travelers, neighbors, and the colorful characters of old Smíchov gathered here – from honest craftsmen to the local gallery and people on the fringes of society who simply belonged to the inns of that time.
Every era has left its mark here. And it is precisely from these marks that the atmosphere arises today, one that cannot be artificially created. Only a house that has truly lived can have it.
Previously, the establishment was also known by the name U Škrobařů. The name U Váhy began to be used according to the municipal scale that stood opposite the inn. And it is this name that has become a symbol of a place that has its firm place in Smíchov.
The Paškovi Family and the Year 1917
An important milestone was the year 1917, when the house was purchased two days before Christmas by František and Marie Paškovi. Since then, U Váhy has been associated with the Paškovi family.
Today, this legacy is carried on by Andělka and Petr Paškovi, who strive to preserve the inn's soul, story, and the atmosphere of the First Republic. They do not want to turn the inn into an anonymous establishment without a face. They want guests to feel that they have entered a house where history has truly lived.
And that is what makes the inn exceptional.
The Atmosphere of the First Republic and Honest Czech Cuisine
Today's Municipal Inn U Váhy invites guests into a space tuned in the spirit of the First Republic. Here you will find Czech cuisine based on traditional recipes, draft beer, pleasant seating, and an environment suitable not only for a regular visit but also for family celebrations, meetings, corporate events, or private gatherings.
U Váhy is a place where you can just come to sit. But also a place where you can celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a party, a wedding, or meet with people you care about. Because some moments deserve a setting that has a story.
A Place That Has a Soul
Today, many new businesses are emerging in Smíchov. Modern, beautiful, fast, and perfectly polished. Váha is different. Its charm does not lie in trying to be new. Its charm lies in its memories. It remembers old Smíchov, family stories, the work of innkeepers, the voices of locals, the aroma of the kitchen, the hustle and bustle of the locale, and the times when similar inns were not just about food and drink, but also about life. And that is precisely why U Váhy has its place even today.
Come Experience the Inn That Has Its History
The Municipal Inn U Váhy is not just another establishment on the map of Prague. It is a Smíchov tradition, a family story, and a place where the past naturally meets the present. Come and stop by. For lunch, for a beer, for a celebration, for a meeting, or just for the feeling that you have entered a house where hospitality still holds its weight.
