It has been a long time since the propellers stopped turning and the engines went quiet; even the film projectors don't run any more.

Who would remember? There are still places where time has stopped… places covered with dust, unnoticed. At times it so happens that the dust is wiped away and something unexpected is re-discovered.

The Jan Hus Congregational Church in Botanicka street in Brno, one of the first modern sacred buildings in the former Czechoslovakia, was constructed in 1929 according to Jan Visek's design. Along with the Czechoslovak Hussite Church meeting-house a magnificent lounge was built.

Time passed and after the war its First Republic elegance started to fade. During the 1970's the Brno Civil Engineering Labour Union Club made the premises its home. The lounge underwent technical improvements and a traditional musical programme began to alternate with film projections.
The nineties saw an end of the cultural activities but, luckily, after a silly fridge shop episode, a more dignified era began – a traditional billiards club moved in.
Also the adjacent vestibule with a canteen where pubs of different styles had been run over the years was put back to its original shape by removing all extensions and extras.
The Avia Cafe restaurant was born. It is a place you will either adore or never visit again. We hope that many of you will fall in love with it the same way we did – at first sight.
