U Fleků ( German : “Bei den Fleks”, ie “den Flekovskýs”) is a Prague brewery founded in 1499 and now a rather touristy Prague brewery in the New Town of Prague , Křemencova 11 (German: Křemenecgasse or Alte Postgasse). The landmark is the clock hanging outside. It received its current name in 1762 when Jakub Flekovský bought the brewery and renamed it.

Meeting point for the GDR blues scene

From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, U Fleků was a very popular meeting place , especially at Easter, for hundreds of young people from the GDR's opposition youth culture - the so-called blueser or customer scene . A "blueser" was a synthesis of a blues or rock fan and a flower child . They came here to celebrate with like-minded people. The state authorities tried to prevent this. Many young people were therefore intercepted at the border under pretexts, with the condition that they report to their responsible police station the next day. Others had their ID cards taken away in advance in order to exclude them from leaving the country. As a result of the repression , the pins with the watch as a symbol bought at U Fleků were proudly worn on the denim jacket: "We made it."
