On the site of the defunct Švihanka homestead, there once stood the Happy Inn, which in 1934 was modernly rebuilt by the architect František Marek, and according to the then tenant, it was called Šretr’s restaurant. Dance parties, balls, slaughterhouses or association events took place here, and the First Republic Cream House enjoyed a beautiful view of the historical center of Prague on the large terrace. In the main part of the summer garden there was a music pavilion and a large dance floor, on which roller skates were danced daily.

In recent years, the City Hall of Prague 2 has considered that it would unify the property of the former Šretra restaurant and reconstruct it so that it resembles the buildings from the 1930s as much as possible. But the plans were thwarted by the aforementioned unsuccessful negotiations with the Austrian company Z-Invest, which owns the key plots of land in the middle of the park.
