This bar has an interesting story behind it. U provaznice, meaning 'At the Rope-Maker's Wife's' was opened by a ropemaker's bored housewife many years ago. Legend reveals that she was so beautiful that all the men of Prague longed to marry her. But she only had eyes for her husband, the rope-maker, even though he was away. Boredom lead her to open this bar with the permission of her husband, and U provaznice came into being. Soon rope-maker heard rumors that his wife was unfaithful. Upon returning, he strangled his wife with one of his fine ropes. Today, a noose hangs at the corner of the bar, and it is said that the premises is haunted. It is situated just off Mustek, and provides delicious food and Gambrinus at low prices. This place is for those who prefer a nice, cold pivo in a local setting.
