Czech inspired. (Pivovar means brewery.) Celebrating something? They take care of you. Awesome service, delicious rib eye, Alfredo pasta & shrimp, crème brûlée cheesecake is a must. Drinks are great too of course! Brewery is cute to check out, you can view from the restaurant/bar or do a tour. They do beer (hops) spa baths ,which is different. & Right next to Magnolia.
