The Feast
The Feast
Both daily sittings, at 4:30pm and 8pm, serve the same five-course feast over roughly two and a half hours, with no cutlery laid at the table.
- I
The opening plate
A cold appetizer opens the five-course feast, eaten by hand as the tavern's own house style asks.
- II
The Soup
A hot soup follows the appetizer, the second of the five courses.
- III
The first main
The first of two main courses arrives with a choice of sides and salad alongside it.
- IV
The second main
A second main course follows, again with its own sides and salad choice, while the unlimited round of beer, wine and soft drinks keeps coming.
- V
Dessert
Dessert closes the feast roughly two and a half hours after the first plate was set down.
Performers work the room across the whole evening, between and during courses. Arrive on time, take your bench and let the night run.
The cellar and the cast
The cellar and the cast
A cellar on a street built for crowds
Celetná has carried foot traffic since medieval times — it was part of Prague's Royal Route, the road coronation processions once took between the Old Town and the castle district, and it still runs as a pedestrian street between Old Town Square and the Powder Gate. The tavern sits in that stretch, at Celetná 597/17, in a vaulted room built low and stone rather than the plaster-and-chandelier rooms found elsewhere in the same street.
Eating with your hands, on purpose
The tavern's own description of the night is direct about the format: guests eat "in the spirit of the times, with your hands" — no cutlery laid at the table as a matter of course. It's a deliberate choice rather than an oversight, meant to put the meal closer to how a medieval feast would actually have been eaten than a modern plated dinner would.
Swordsmen, dancers, jugglers, fire
The cast rotates through swordsmen and staged sword fights, belly dancers, jugglers, a fire show, live musicians, acrobats and occasional historical concerts. Let the sequence surprise you: across the two and a half hours, expect more than one kind of act to take the floor between plates.
A garden, when the weather allows
Alongside the cellar room, the venue also runs a summer garden restaurant area — a lighter, open-air alternative to the vaulted hall on a warm evening, though the dinner-and-show format described here is the cellar's own.
Drinks and the menus
Drinks and the menus
The ticket's headline feature is the drinks: an all-you-can-drink round that the tavern says applies to beer as well as wine and soft drinks, poured through the whole meal.
Unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks
The tavern describes the round as an "all you can drink option which applies to beer as well" — so it isn't a soft-drinks-only unlimited policy with beer and wine capped separately.
No-pork and vegetarian menus
Alongside the standard feast, the tavern offers a no-pork menu and a vegetarian one. For any other dietary need, say so when you book so the kitchen hears about it before your table is laid.
Two sittings, one feast
Two sittings, one feast
| Sitting | What's included | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Afternoon sitting, 4:30pm | The five-course feast with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks, and the full cast of performers | An early evening, or a first stop before you head elsewhere in the Old Town |
| Evening sitting, 8pm | The same five-course feast, drinks round and performers, starting later | A night where dinner is the main event and nobody has to rush off |

Finding the tavern
Finding the tavern
Celetná Street
The tavern is at Celetná 597/17, on the pedestrian stretch that runs between Old Town Square and the Powder Gate — close enough to Old Town Square that most visitors staying centrally can walk in rather than book a transfer.
Arrive 15 minutes early
The venue asks guests to arrive 15 minutes before the sitting starts, and your ticket's QR code is scanned at the door — build the walk from your hotel around that, not around the show time itself.
Groups of eight or more
The tavern handles larger group bookings through a separate email address rather than the general ticket flow, so a table for a big stag, hen or birthday party is worth arranging ahead of the date rather than assuming the standard booking covers it.

Before you book
Are drinks really unlimited?
The tavern describes the round as applying to beer as well as wine and soft drinks — an all-you-can-drink policy through the meal, not a single welcome drink.
Which tavern is this?
Krčma U Pavouka, at Celetná 597/17 in Prague's Old Town — the meeting point named on the GetYourGuide ticket itself.
What's the difference between the two sittings?
Both sittings, 4:30pm and 8pm, serve the same five-course feast with the same unlimited drinks round. Choose by how you want the rest of your evening to run.
Do you eat with cutlery?
Not as standard — the tavern describes the meal as eaten by hand, in keeping with its medieval-tavern format.
What performances will I see?
The cast rotates through swordsmen, dancers, jugglers, a fire show, live musicians and acrobats. There's no published running order, so the exact mix varies by night.
Are there vegetarian or no-pork options?
Yes — the tavern lists no-pork and vegetarian menus. For anything more specific, it's worth mentioning when you book.
How early should I arrive?
The tavern asks guests to arrive 15 minutes before the sitting starts; your ticket's QR code is scanned at the door.
Can I book a large group?
Groups of eight or more are handled through a separate booking address rather than the standard ticket, so it's worth arranging ahead of your date.
