Friday evening: U Pinkasu Restaurant
According to written records, guests drank here about six thousand hectolitres. It is as much as in the famous U Flekù Brewery, however it has five times more seats for guests. The reason for such vast consumption was simple. Some people came to the Pinkas establishment for a drink or two, but record holders counted their daily amounts in tens of half-litre glasses. The pub’s record is over one hundred half-litre measures in a single day.
