České Budějovice town centre is going to be livened up by the “Masné krámy Music FEST”

České Budějovice, 14th June 2019 – The beer taps in the iconic Masné krámy restaurant in ČeskéBudějovice were turned for the first time on 1st October 1 1954.This year, the restaurant is celebrating the 65th anniversary of itsceremonial opening for the public. The Masné krámy building probably dates backto 1554, having served as a slaughterhouse and meat market for severalcenturies. After World War II, the demolition of the building was seriouslyconsidered due to its critical condition. Fortunately, the opposite decisionwas eventually made. The historical building was rebuilt into a restaurant accordingto a design by the architect J. Fidra in 1953.

Thanks to the perfectly treated draft beer and excellent cuisine, the Masnékrámy quickly became one of the symbols of the town as well as the almostmandatory stop for tourists from home and abroad. The restaurant regularlyprepares a number of attractive offers for its guests; the 7th Masné krámyMusic FEST is going to be one of them. “Live music combined with a sit-down with beer andgrilled meat in the fresh air as well as a stroll through the town centre is veryattractive for a lot of people. We believe that the interest will be big thisyear as well,” says Budweiser Budvar’s gastronomy department manager Tomáš Olejník. About 300 seats will be prepared for theguests in the street. Four bands are going to perform on the stage in front ofthe Masné krámy restaurant, the main star being “Nezmaři”, which will start theconcert at 8:30 p.m. on 21st June. Grilled specialties will enrichthe standard menu and a whole spit-roast ox will be served on Saturday 22ndJune at around 12.
