Watch for this alley, it's the entrance to U Pavouka Medieval Tavern
We visited U Pavouka Medieval Tavern, booked through Viatour (or you can book direct) and easily found in the Old Town.
On entry our tickets were checked and we were shown to our reserved seats, along with another couple and a group of 4 students.
Many of the groups were the stag types, as we went in the evening, but this added to the lively atmosphere.
On sitting down the first course was instantly available, and our server asked for our drink preference and a 500ml tankard of beer and a glass of wine arrived quickly. Throughout the evening as each emptied they were quickly exchanged for full ones, without any hesitation.
Main course options were checked and brought out. Opting for the pork, expecting this to be the most authentic, was certainly a good call and the meal was fantastic, finished off with a basic but very filling chunk of cake afterwards.
Throughout the evening entertainers would appear in the room and do their bit, keeping the atmosphere going from start to finish.
The benches might be empty here, but before long they'll be full of people ready to celebrate the banquet

Not sure on the pirate connection so far from the sea, but they were lively and entertaining.

Introduction: A Journey Back in Time for Couples
With a history going back hundreds of years, the Medieval architecture of Prague is enticing. The Astronomical Clock alone has been in place over 600 years. Many of the older buildings have basements that date back to Medieval Times; basements that on the history walks you learn were once ground level. So for a chance to step back in time, enjoy some hearty food and drink and be entertained in traidtional ways, the banquets are a popular attraction.What to Expect at a Medieval Banquet Dinner

The Best Time to Experience a Medieval Banquet in Prague
Any time of year is good for this experience. Although you probably want to avoid being indoors in the summer, I expect that air conditioning and the underground nature can help.The experiences are often split between afternoon and evening. If travelling with younger children, who might be intimidated by the stag groups being a little noisier, then try the afternoon sittings. But for a full night out the evening one is great.
