The address
Celetná 597/17. Czech addresses carry two numbers: the 597 is the building’s registry number and the 17 is its number in the street, the one on the blue plate by the door. The tavern goes by several names, all the same place: U Pavouka, Krčma U Pavouka, and Medieval Tavern “U Pavouka” on Google Maps. It is open every day from 11:00 to 23:30, and its own site mentions a summer garden.
Walking there
- From Old Town Square: 335 m on foot, about four minutes. Leave the square at its east corner by the Týn Church and follow Celetná street; U Pavouka is on your way towards the Powder Gate.
- From the Powder Gate: 274 m on foot, about three minutes, walking west along Celetná towards Old Town Square.
- From Charles Bridge: cross the Old Town to Old Town Square first; Celetná starts at its far side.
Distances are walking routes measured in November 2026; the minutes are worked out at an easy 5 km an hour.
Getting in
Arrive from 4:00 PM for the 4:30 PM show or from 7:45 PM for the 8:00 PM show: the booking options are titled “Starts at 4:00 PM” and “Starts at 7:45 PM”. Reviewers say the room is dark; one fell on the bottom steps on the way to the tables, where there was no handrail (1 November 2026), and another saw a girl at their table fall on a step she could not see (31 October); take the steps slowly and use a phone light if you need it. One found the queue at the entrance confusing (28 October). The dinner is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Once inside you are shown to a shared table. Guests booked under one name sit together; if your party booked under several names, tell U Pavouka in advance.
Where U Krále Brabantského is
U Krále Brabantského is across the river, at Thunovská 198/15, 118 00 Praha 1 - Malá Strana, under Prague Castle. The walk from U Pavouka over Charles Bridge is 1,929 m, about 23 minutes; from Charles Bridge it is 1,037 m on foot, and from Malostranské náměstí 311 m. Its show runs Tuesday to Sunday from 7:00 PM and is booked with the tavern itself. U Pavouka or U Krále compares them.
