Buresch’s Coffee house. Prague coffee house and venue for occasional social musical entertainments. Located in Dominikánská ulice. The venue was notable in positively appealing to both German- and Czech-speaking sections of the Prague community, being among the first of such venues to advertise simultaneously in both languages. On 6/10/1854 an advertisement appeared in Mercy’s Anzeiger mirrored in Czech and in German. The venue also specifically identified in this advertisement the chamber ensembles providing musical entertainment. This was very unusual for the middle-nineteenth century.
