The name comes from the nearby city of Świdnica, from which beer was delivered to the restaurant in the Middle Ages.[3] Świdnica was a renowned brewing centre, and its beer was served in restaurants called "Świdnica Cellars", which existed in large cities such as Kraków (Piwnica Świdnicka w Krakowie), Toruń, and Wrocław, the last of which still operates to this day.
