Najstarsza reprezentacyjna gospoda miejska, od początku działająca w podziemiach ratusza. Nazwa pochodzi od podawanego tu przez stulecia, słynnego nie tylko na Śląsku, piwa sprowadzanego ze Świdnicy. Wnętrza zachowały oryginalny, XV-wieczny charakter.

This is the oldest and most famous city inn, which since the beginning has been operating in the Town Hall basement. It took its name from the beer that was served here for centuries, brought from Świdnica and famous all over Silesia and beyond. The interior preserved its original, 15th century character.
