Medieval Tavern U Pavouka

Medieval Tavern U Pavouka is a themed medieval tavern in Prague’s Old Town, located on Celetná Street close to Old Town Square, the Church of Our Lady before Týn, and the Powder Gate. The venue is designed as an immersive historical dining experience, with a dark cellar-like atmosphere, medieval-style interiors, live music, and performances inspired by the Middle Ages. The official website describes daily historical fantasy shows with swordsmen, jugglers, belly dancers, fire performances, music, food, beer, and wine

The restaurant offers two main experiences: a regular restaurant service with traditional Czech meals and a ticketed medieval show. The show is advertised as a 2.5-hour performance with a five-course meal and an all-you-can-drink option, while the restaurant menu includes Czech dishes such as beef or boar goulash, roasted pork knuckle, baked duck with cabbage and dumplings, and Czech beer on tap. Vegetarian and no-pork options are also mentioned on the official website for the show menu.

Its biggest attraction is not only the food, but the atmosphere. Guests can expect a theatrical evening with sword fights, juggling, belly dancing, historical music, fire shows, and rustic dining. Prague City Tourism also lists Krčma U Pavouka as a place that takes visitors “hundreds of years back” into a medieval-style experience, with daily opening hours from 11:00 to 23:30 and a historical fantasy show that requires reservation.

Tripadvisor lists the restaurant as Bar, European, Gastropub, Czech, Eastern European, and Central European, with dinner and drinks as the main meal types. It also lists features including credit cards, full bar, live music, reservations, seating, serves alcohol, and table service.
