Little Prague Bohemian Restaurant
330 G St.
Davis, CA 95616

Established in the early 90s, Little Prague has evolved from a small obscure concept to a fully realized cultural establishment. Over the years, it has been featured in Sacramento Magazine, Sunset Magazine and on PBS's "Central Valley Chronicles." While in office, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger frequented the restaurant -- one of the only places in the region for him to enjoy ethnically familiar cuisine. Little Prague has expanded more than once over the years and now has a bar, dining room and terrace. The restaurant is able to accommodate large groups; with advanced notice it will reserve the terrace or a section of the dining room especially for your group. With extended bar hours after dinner, this truly is a great destination for a large get-together.

Since its debut in 1989, it has evolved from one of northern California's first micro-breweries into a craft beer mecca for beer enthusiasts. The brewery and expansive restaurant in Davis is a great spot for large groups.
