1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2012 NEW

The pig leg that was highly recommended was overcooked... dry and tasteless. Our little bottles of water cost $4 and $4.50 ... ok, that was our fault for not looking at the prices for water on the menu but we were expecting the usual $1 or $1.50 charge for bottled water in Prague. Then our bill arrived with mysterious charges... More

Great local cuisine, tasty, plentiful and good value for money. Service was quick even though it was very busy, great beer too! Appeared to be exceptionally multi lingual and good location if around the Old Town square area for lunch.

This restaurant is only a few steps away from Wenceslas Square, yet it is not touristic at all, and offers a selection of local food at very reasonably prices. The reason for it not being very touristic in the heart of the center may be that entering the place it appears to be a generic local beer pub, which is... More

Directly by the Wenceslaw square, this pub/restaurant is worth to stop there for a simple lunch and beer. Lunch menu specials on workdays. Don´t expect any view sitting outside.

Had great meal here and considering its central location, was really well priced. Of the four meals we ordered all were great.

I have been in Prague for four days and i first planed to eat each evening in another place. But U Provaznice made me change my mind. Very friendly staff, excellent food, cheap and surely more than you can eat. And, most of all, helped me feel that tavern atmosphere that i was looking for in Prague

Looks like the real thing -- a bit labyrinth cellar with beer barrels. But, few locals, mostly tourists sent by Rick Steves and others. We found the ambiance noisy, the service poor, and the food just average. The story about the ropemaker's wife is the most interesting aspect of the place.

Have been to this pub a couple of times with my friends consuming beer. They have gambrinus on draft (beer form plzen) wich is in my opinion one of the best czech beers. The price for 0.5 litres was approx. 1,4 euros in Oktober 2011. When is comes to food, have I only tried som french fries in this pub,... More
