The Palac Akropolis is a mixed-use building located between Zizkov and Vinohrady. It houses a theatre, a home radio, a restaurant and, of course, a club. It’s a multicultural space where artists from all the world give live performances. The drinks are reasonably priced and so Akropolis is always full, especially on Friday evening.

 

 

BOMBAY BAR

Dlouhá 741/13, Prague 1

www.bombay-bar.cz

The Bombay is a cocktail bar that shouldn’t be missed when visiting Prague. It is recognisable by the orange sign and by the fact that it’s located a stone’s throw from the historic centre. It is also one of the leading locals, especially at the weekends; personally I recommend going there later in the evening, because it is open until 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and until 4-5 a.m. during the week.

BUNKR PARUKARKA

Olšanské náměstí, Prague 3

www.parukarka.cz

The Bunkr is located in the district of Žižkov in what used to be an underground nuclear-proof bunker during the 1950s. This old military structure, now privatized, now houses avant-garde underground bands and DJs. The spiral staircase that descends 15 metres underground brings you to Prague’s temple of trance, electronic and technopunk music.

 

CHAPEAU ROUGE

Jakubská 647/2, Prague 1

www.chapeaurouge.cz

Chapeau Rouge is located just outside the Old Town Square and is very popular among Czechs, tourists and ex-pats. It is a three-floor building that offers all types of music: live music, reggae and dubstep/electronic. Highly recommended.

 

 

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Melantrichova 17, Prague 1

www.doubletrouble.cz

Located between Wenceslas Square and the Old Town Square, you have to search a little for this one because at the entrance there is a shop that sells masks. Once down the stairs, though, you’ll find yourself in a complex of Gothic cellars, housing also a small dance floor. The bar has very affordable prices, meaning it is full of thirsty patrons in search of refreshments.

 

 

DUPLEX

Wenceslas Square 21, Prague 1

www.duplex.cz

The Duplex is situated on top of a building right in the middle of Wenceslas Square. During the day it is a good place to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine.

FUTURUM

Zborovská 7  - Prague 5

www.futurum.musicbar.cz

The Futurum is a place that looks like a weird cross between a spaceship and ballroom-style art deco. The wide range of options here will cater for everyone.

Harley may be the right place for fun till the small hours. It is located in front of Bombay club.

 

 

INFINITY

Chrudimská 1418/2, Prague 3

www.infinitybar.cz

This club is on two levels: the lower level is filled with people and where the dancing takes place, while on top you can find a restaurant. Recommended because it is not very centrally located and so is not too crowded with tourists. Various genres of music; we recommend a shirt or dressing appropriately, though.

 

 

KARLOVY LAZNE

Novotného lávka 5, Prague 1

www.karlovylazne.cz

Karlovy Lazne is the biggest disco in Central Europe and the most famous in Prague, of course. The disco has 5 floors, each with its own style of music. Starting from the ground floor we have: Café Music, Disco (disco revival of ’70s), Kaleidoscope (hits of the 60s-80s), Paradogs Club (house, trance and techno), and Chill Out (with cushions on the floor, carpet and soft lighting).

 

 

K.U.

Rytířská 13, Prague 1

www.kubar.cz

Located in the old city centre, K.U. is the place to hang out at weekends, maybe before you start the night itself. One of the most trendy clubs in Prague, serving a wide selection of fine cocktails. It’s definitely a good choice for a chic evening. A shirt is recommended.

 

 

LA BODEGUITA DEL MEDIO

Kaprova 5, Prague 1

www.labodeguitadelmedio.cz

In the old town, close to the metro station Staromestka, this place is typically Cuban: you eat upstairs, while below in a small but curious place you can drink and dance to the rhythm of salsa, merengue and other Latin music. Very popular.

 

 

 

 

LA CASA BLU

La Casa Blu was founded in 1996 by Jorge Zúñiga Pavlov and José Peña. It is a unique venue in Prague. A very distinctive, warm, friendly and unique place because you can’t smoke inside! Very popular among Czech students, while offering excellent cuisine and specializing in Latin American cocktails and mojitos.

 

 

LAVKA

Novotného lávka 201/1, Prague 1

www.lavka.cz

Lavka is situated on the banks of the River Vltava near Charle’s Bridge. It has a breathtaking night view of Prague Castle, one of the best in the city in my opinion. During the summer it opens up its terrace at the back of the club. Very impressive.

A French-inspired after hours club with DJs who perform on two floors, there are several bars, comfortable armchairs and some rooms crowded with “VSP” (coined from the same club and meaning Very Strange People). The atmosphere is usually lively and bubbly.

 

 

www.lucerna.musicbar.cz

Lucerna is located inside a shopping arcade, a few minutes walk from Wenceslas Square. This venue hosts concerts of popular Czech bands during the week, and turns into a 80/90s disco at the weekends. It was undoubtedly the best club in Prague during the 80s, thanks to the enormous dance floor.

 

 

MECCA

This old warehouse in Holešovice has just celebrated 10 years and it is still one of the best dance clubs in town. Inside there are floating tents and futuristic couches.

The dance floor is large and the drinks are reasonably priced.

 

 

STUDIO 54

Perhaps the only place in Prague where you can party until noon. So if you want to party and wait for the new day, go to Hybernska 38, less than 10 minutes by foot from Namesti Republiky. The music starts at around 5 am and despite the time, this is a hot spot.
