Overview

U vystřelenýho oka is a pub (hospoda) in Prague, Czech Republic, situated at the foot of Vítkov hill in the Žižkov district. According to its official website, it is a hospoda that "is said to have become a legend the day it opened." The pub is characterized by a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere and an unusually diverse mix of guests — students, bohémié, physicists, mathematicians, artists, alternative pensioners, eccentrics and drinkers of all kinds — who jump, shout, sing, discuss, and sometimes even undress. The interior decoration was created by academic painter Martin Velíšek and includes an aquarium built into a classic beer tap, Jan Žižka on a seahorse, two false windows depicting the Battle of Vítkov, sculptures of Jan Žižka and the gougers of his eyes, and above all a "painting of reconciliation" in which Hussites and Crusaders exchange T-shirts like today's athletes. Art decoration also extends to the toilets, where the armrests Jára and Láďa have gained great popularity for their practicality. The pub hosts various events, most notably concerts, literary evenings, and masopust (carnival) Sundays, as well as international evenings. It has a summer garden. According to Czech Wikipedia, it is a local center of cultural life; Jan Hřebejk shot scenes of the film Horem pádem here, and folk concerts of the Žižkovská Noc festival take place here. The pub does not have gambling machines; instead, only pexeso and children's hockey are available, though regulars will not lend the hockey game as they have been diligently training for years for a match against Kladno. There are no advertising promotions; you will not get a third shot free for two, but be careful they don't add it to your bill. The beer is of standard quality, the kitchen is below average except for exceptions, wine is from Moravian vineyards, and perhaps only well-chilled Finnish vodka with lime can be praised. The staff is ironic to sarcastic, often slightly tipsy, sometimes seeming stoned, and not rarely all together. Loud music, ubiquitous smoke, a half-melting stove and a non-functioning thermometer at the tap are other attributes of this pub. As a commercial entity, U vystřelenýho oka operates as a hospitality venue — a pub offering beer, spirits, wine and food — and as a cultural venue hosting concerts, literary events and seasonal celebrations. Its identity is closely tied to the Žižkov neighborhood and its bohemian reputation. The pub's website is uvoka.cz. No founding year, founder, owner or parent company is provided in the available evidence.
