Restaurant BRÁČNICKÁ RYCHTA is a place of rich history. Why was it founded? Why the name?
 In 1874 Czech craftsmen founded association of Baráčník's due to the name of the place where they held their meetings - small inn called Baracek in Kotlina. Association in a short time became recognised and liked by the local community because it was in the contrary to town convivial parties or ladies clubs.
There are documents dated 1880 that confirm coming into existence Baráčník's group in Prague - in the urban part of the town called Dejwice. In 1885 another group of Baráčník's association was founded in the Old Town area.
 Contemporary members of the association still address each other by "neighbour" and "auntie" and follow the old Czech rules and customs during communal and district meetings.
During national festivals meeting they wear traditional Old-Czech national costumes or association costumes. In order to commemorate old civic system members of the association still keep the name code, like for example; village counsellor, town counsellor, father, mother, receiver, tax collector, educator, treasurer, joker, servant and night watchman.
In 1934 Association of Baráčník's opened their restaurant - Bracnicka Rychta.
