Delicious restaurant and brewery at the Pivovar Hotel. It was my birthday weekend so we made a reservation with some Prosecco on arrival (we are not big beer drinkers but were staying at the hotel!) The service was perfect and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the hotel and restaurant for a fun night before Magnolia and the silos.

We went there to have lunch. We did not get greeted by any employee, even though there were 3 employees near by. One employee looked at us but did not acknowledge our presence. We decided to leave. Response to the Owner. The sign said to wait to be seated, so that s what we tried to do.

Had Lunch and a Beer Spa at the Pivovar. For lunch i had the pocket schnitzel and a flight of brandy (the picture shows it labeled as whisky but they weren t) and my wife had the sausage plate. Outstanding stuff. So fresh and delicious it was a great way to put myself in a food coma before my beer spa! Which also was an amazing experience.. It was so relaxing and unique. We drove all the way from San Antonio to do this and it was worth every penny. The dark beer is by far the best beer. Also, the girl whom worked the front desk was exceptional. We didn t stay in the hotel but the whole area is very nice. Right across the rail road tracks from the hotel is Magnolia which is a historical area renovated by that HGTV couple i forget the name . Regardless it is really nicely done. Waco is a hidden gem. Nearby activities: We visited the Waco Mammoth National Monument (12 min away) , Magnolia is across the street (they have a wiffle ball field) , and 3 minutes away is the suspension bridge which has some very cool sculptures but stunk like piss and homeless people . Walkability: Perfect area to stroll Food and drinks: Eat the pocket schnitzel and get the dark beer

We went there for a celebration tonight. The food was good. I enjoyed my pork shank. Beer flight is also good. However, my husband got FOUR mosquito bites on his arms and I got FIVE mosquito bites on my feet and legs. We were seated in the main dining room. It was a very disappointing dining experience. We left without having our desserts there.

Stopped in for lunch and I absolutely loved this place. The dining room is gorgeous with exposed brick, wood accents, dark green leather furniture, and brass plaques. It feels relaxed and expensive at the same time. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and the service was great. I would recommend the Czexan Potter Beer Cheese appetizer, a deliciously fun twist on a charcuterie board. And I had the Cobb salad and added salmon. The salmon was cooked PERFECTLY. I definitely recommend this place.

Became in for an early dinner without reservations. The food was fantastic! Even better was the service! We had the Brussels and pretzel for an appetizer . The Brussels were the best Ive ever had. Seriously, you need to order these. I also ordered the braised beef ribs. They were so tender they fell off the bone. Server was amazing, as was the manager. If and when Im back in town I will definitely come back.

Review is for the restaurant and not the hotel. I had the salmon for an entrée and it was very fresh and good. Mashed potatoe side was delicious and dessert was amazing. All in all its definitely worth a visit especially if you are visiting waco and want a unique restaurant experience in waco. Great for date night or family dinner with slightly older kids. But if you do take your toddler like I did the staff is very very sweet to the kiddos and even brought their food out first. So dont let that deter you.

A combination Czech brewery/restaurant/hotel/beer spa, Pivovar offers a one-of-a-kind experience. We paid the restaurant side of the operation a dinner visit and had an all-around terrific meal. The ambiance here is attractive, blending wood and green leather with a view of the brewery. Our server for the evening (Ian?) was also tending bar, and he handled both roles capably without breaking a sweat. A manager later came around to check on us, which speaks to a dedication to customer satisfaction. Pivovar s drinks menu features pilsners and lagers brewed in-house while the food offerings have a Germanic bent. You can still eat lighter here (salads and sandwiches), but anyone looking to indulge in sausage, schnitzel, or steak will be pleased with what s available. My wife and I split a pretzel starter and then opted for the sausage platter and the classic pocket schnitzel, respectively. The pretzel was large, soft, and well-salted, and it came with a trio of dips. Of them, the beer mustard was commendably robust, but the honey mustard and beer cheese were more enjoyable. The sausage platter included what appeared to be a bratwurst and two other sausages alongside corn ribs and sauerkraut. All of the sausages were tasty and offered a firm bite while the corn tasted fresh from the grill. While the schnitzel would have benefitted from a vegetable pairing, everything on the plate was excellent, from the garlicky mashed potatoes to the schnitzel s crisp batter, juicy pork, and cheesy filling. Dessert options included a crème brulee cheesecake that I couldn t pass up, and I m glad that I had enough room for it. The graham cracker crust had spice notes that reminded me of carrot cake, and the thin layer of sugar topping was very satisfying. My wife also spoke highly of the dark lager. Pivovar isn t cheap, and some of the menu offerings seem like reaches (i.e. $18 for a meatless salad). However, our entrees ($21 and $19) were reasonable for the quality of the food. That Pivovar offers a kind of cuisine I don t usually find made it attractive, but the combination of ambiance, service, and well-executed food made it memorable. Do yourself a favor and Czech it out.

The beer was excellent. Ordered the Texas schnitzel. Extremely overcooked (dark brown) and shoe leather dry. Could barely cut it. It was a basically a rolled up schnitzel with a tiny dab of mashed potatoes. Miniscule amount of potatoes but they were very good. The mushroom sauce was also great. Please do better on the schnitzel.

We live locally so only had dinner and not a hotel stay. We visited on a week night and it wasn t super busy. We received decent service. I had the salmon and it was very fresh and well prepared. The others in our party had the schnitzel and liked their entrees but didn t love them. Beer was good and I d like to try a flight next time to sample some of their others. Overall, while our experience wasn t stellar, it was above average and we all agreed we d enjoy coming back to try other dishes.

One word Flavor. The textures, the flavors, everything was spot on here. We began our evening at the beautiful bar. The entire space is comfortable and authentic, but somehow modern. If you are a wine drinker dont even bother looking at the wine menu, just ask for the house red and you will get the best blend I ve had in a while. It s a Czeck wine which fits the theme. My husband enjoyed the beer sampler and he is a major German beer snob so I didn t think he would like most of them. Both he and I were pleasantly surprised. All except the dark lager were exceptional, but he s not a fan of dark beer anyway. I thought the dark lager was excellent ! We enjoyed the schnitzel, and the pork shank. Everything was cooked to perfection, super flavorful, and memorable. The service here is also wonderful. We were greeted by a friendly and accommodating lady, followed by excellent bar and table service. The staff is knowledgeable. If you re wondering if it is too fancy for you, we saw families dressed more casually and Others dressed very nice. So anything goes here! It s a relaxed environment, a great place for a family to come and enjoy, but also a great place for a special date. If I had company coming to town, this would be exactly where I would bring them.

We did not stay just went to the restaurant over all experience was just ok. The interior was really nice I loved all the green. The restaurant was not packed at all. We got our food relatively quickly but for the price it was honestly pretty small portions, when compared to the kids dishes which are the same size of the full price dishes. Our server was really slow with things like waters and extra lemons and ketchup, they also charge you 2$ for a side of mayonnaise and its not a lot of mayonnaise. Food and drinks: It was just ok but for the price I expected better

We were not hotel guests, but went to the Christmas Brunch at Pivovar expecting a good Czech spread. What we got was sliced turkey, inedible dry meatloaf, a tasteless dry unknown casserole, dry stale pancakes of some type, bacon and eggs and the green beans that were terribly undercooked and inedible. They did offer a bland mac and cheese suitable for kids. No holiday accoutrements whatsoever! A total waste of nearly $300 for four people! The saving grace was the bottle of wine we bought and took home. Never again! Food and drinks: Horrible, skimpy, overpriced Christmas Buffet! Had it not been Christmas day with our family I would have left after the first bite!

Had a great time at the hotels restaurant on Saturday night. We tried both the beer and wine flights, both very good. Especially the beers, which instantly reminded me of the ones i had in Prague years ago. We ordered Schnitzel and Fish and Chips, both great. The Schnitzel looks and definitely tastes like the real deal. Best fish and chips I had in Texas so far. The place is beautiful and well located. Parking was easy. Service was really good. The young man who served us was extremely helpful and attentive (thanks Noah). Its kinda expensive, though. Id like to try other dishes, as the Goulash. Will definitely be back when I can. Food and drinks: Excellent Menu, lots of great options. The beers are all amazing. Try the Schnitzel, its definitely worth the price.

We visited the restaurant/pub to catch up with friends and were compelled to give it a two-star rating due to several factors. Initially, we found the prices exorbitantly high, well above the current average. Additionally, the serving sizes were disappointingly small. The service quality was another major issue. A case in point: our burgers were overcooked to the point of dryness, and despite us barely eating them, the server failed to inquire about our dissatisfaction or the reason behind our minimal consumption. In fairness, the manager did approach us to inquire about our experience, but she merely nodded and smiled as we expressed our concerns, showing no real interest or effort to address the issues or offer any form of compensation. Nearby activities: Its right next to Magnolia which is a great place to visit. Walkability: Again its only a block from the most popular stop in Waco.

Especially the central Europeans from the Czech Republic and Slovakia regions, as theyll definitely find their own here. 10/10. Rooms: Amazing decor overall, mix of modern and retro.

So 3* isn t great, but I would recommend that you try the Texans Pocket Schnitzel and a premium lager. Other than that we were disappointed First, the prices are a little high generally, but the beer flight was ridiculous at $25 for five 5.5 oz pours. That s almost double the $/oz of a full pour. Service was meh at best. It took a while for, well, everything. While I was in the bathroom my wife told our waitress I wanted another beer and she didn t even ask what kind at a freaking brewery! Onion rings were bad and the ancient grain bowl was unremarkable. Music that was supposed to start at 7 hasn t by the time we left around 7:30. But yeah the Texans Pocket Schnitzel was good!

This hotel is GORGEOUS. Both from photos and in person. When we arrived, I had informed the front desk employee we were celebrating a late birthday trip for my husband. He was not very friendly or overly engaging. (I had to wait to be checked in for a bit as he was busy on the phone). He showed me the welcome packet and features of the hotel/resturant but was not super welcoming like Im reading from other reviews. I also saw multiple reviews of complimentary beer coupons as guests and I was so excited to try the Czech beer in house. We were not given anything or other recommendations for the area, etc. The room is lovely, the tub is great also! (Chipping in places, but very relaxing). Bed is a bit more firm than I would have preferred, but the room is tastefully decorated and quiet. It was disappointing that the service was sub-par. I did notice upon check out that they were cutting up coupons for free beers. Which we sadly NEVER received. Quite disappointing for such a gorgeous hotel and space to receive sub-par service.

Pivovar is a really fun place. We didnt stay at the hotel, just ate at the restaurant. Its a great atmosphere with a great Stebbins to detail. The food was good and the service was amazing.

(Country) Music way too loud for 17:00 on a Saturday - waitress couldn t hear us speak and got the order wrong twice - I assume as a consequence. The food is barely Czech calling something czech doesn t make it so - beer was good though. It s expensive too. Buccees is almost as Czech as this place.

I booked a stay for Saturday Aug, 19, 2023 to celebrate my husbands upcoming 50th birthday. If youre celebrating an important event or looking for a romantic getaway, the hotel is worth the splurge. Dubbed A Czech Inspired Luxury Experience, our experience exceeded our expectations. This is a brewery, hotel and restaurant all in one. When we first arrived, we were not sure if we were supposed to park in the Premium Parking lot adjacent to the hotel. However, upon check-in, we were quickly assured that this parking is included in our stay and I was handed a hotel parking pass to place on the dash of my vehicle. Karen took the time to check us in and go over our welcome package. We had a beer spa appointment later in the day and she confirmed that she would come up to our room to escort us to the beer spa. We had some time before our appointment and we settled into our well appointed room. The room type that I booked (The Weary Traveler - King) has a copper tub instead of a shower. The bathroom also features two copper sinks and a separate bidet. After passing the entryway, there is beautiful desk and plenty of seating. There is a luggage rack as well as an area at the foot of the bed to accommodate your luggage. By the TV area, there is a bottle of complimentary water and a Keurig machine. Underneath, there is a refrigerator containing items for purchase as well as creamer for your coffee (and you can certainly use the refrigerator to store your own beverages). The is an RO water cooler and ice machine by the elevator where you can refill your glass water bottle. After inspecting our room, we took a very short walk across the train tracks to The Silos. There is a train that runs through the area, but we did not hear any train go by in the evening. After that, we headed to our back to our room and Karen escorted us to our beer spa, which was a few doors down from our room on the same floor (very convenient!). It is a private room containing two copper tubs full of beer and beer soap (this experience costs $200 whether for a single person or a couple). We were given a little over an hour to soak and enjoyed a beer flight. It is recommended that you rinse in the shower after your soak. We ended the night cashing in our free beer coupons that we received in our welcome package. The beer comes in these very large (17 oz) glass steins. All of their beer is delicious; very light and easy to drink! For dinner, we had the Czexan Schnitzel (I dont think that the Pivovar Sauce went well with this dish) and the Pork Shank (Im not that was worth the $30). The restaurant was relatively busy and there was live music. My husband went to bed, relaxed and elated to be sleeping on top of a brewery. It was truly a wonderful experience and stay. Nearby activities: The Silos are a very short walk across the train tracks.

Ate at the restaurant on a Friday night. We were promptly greeted and shown to a table. We did have a reservation. Started with a Vienna Lager which was delicious, a great brew! Ordered fried cheese which was awesome. For dinner I had the Goulash and my wife had Czexan Schnitzel. The Goulash was very good but not as good as Ive had in the Czech Republic. I actually preferred the Schnitzel over the Goulash. For desert I had Cheesecake and I absolutely loved it! We were well taken care of throughout the evening by our server. We had a nice time while visiting with friends. I can recommend this restaurant.

We did not stay at the hotel but we ate at the restaurant, and everything was excellent. I visited the Czech Republic a few years ago, and I really enjoyed my experience, and the food here reminded me of being there. All of the beers are great, and the Goulash was superb. My wife had the Schnitzel and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth checking out if youre in Waco! Food and drinks: Everything was delicious

Poor Waco. Still not a quality food destination in the entire city. I saw the pork shank being served to another table and it looked amazing. Unfortunately when I got mine it was absolutely hammered, so well done the bones were black. It was dry as a one too. The flavor profile was odd, maybe a cardimim or bay leaf profile. Was off putting. My wifes steak was OK, at best. The hit of the table was the salmon which was nicely cooked and seasoned. Will try again another time hopeful we just had a bad night.

I got the schnitzel with was excellent. For an appetizer we had the Brussel sprouts which were great. We also got the Cobb salad and the salmon. We split sides of the sweet potato fries and the Mac and cheese. Will definitely be going back soon.

The restaurant has a great menu and great selection of beer wine and a full bar. The space is incredible with large tables and lots of space. The service was slow on our visit, they needed more help even though the place was not very busy we waited for drinks and food. When food arrived it was okay not fabulous like we had expected.

Stunning hotel thoroughly decked out in Czech style from hand made, crafted wood work to blown glass vases and porcelain pots all over. Spectacular onsite restaurant, brewery and beer garden. The beer spa is something all of its own. Pricy but you gotta do it! Couples can go for an hour and get a beer or wine flight or a tasty charcuterie board to share also. We loved this spa experience. The staff are top notch professional. The food is delicious. The beer we did not care for much but we arent beer folks at all either. The Czech wine flight I got was very good! The location of the hotel is walking distance to everything downtown so no need to drive at all really if you stay here.

I was born and raised in Prague and the word Pivovar couldnt escape my attention. Pamela and I travel full time in our RV across the coutry and we visit many restaurants. We came across Pivovar as we were visiting Waco. We ordered schnitzel with mashed potatoes and the food was very yummy and light. The server was very friendly and professional. It was for us a very good experience and we will visit again before we leave Waco to our next destination. Thank you Pivovar.

We were unsure of eating Czech food. We walked in and the building was beautiful. The hostess was so full of information. She told us that all of the furnishings in the building were imported from the Czech Republic. They make their own beer there from ingredients from the Czech Republic. I dont eat gluten and the hostess was able to tell me about dishes that were gluten free. We were seated and even though it was right around noon it wasnt packed which made it nice as there were 5 of us trying to talk. One person ordered a beer and it was brought in a cold mug with a unique design they said it was the best beer they had had. Two different pairs ordered the Ruben and onion rings to share. It was more than enough food. Another person ordered a burger and said it was delicious.
