Bars and Clubs in Prague

thischarmingman

Hey all,

Myself and my work colleagues - about 20 of us - are heading to prague for a weekend in feb. Any recommendations on good bars/clubs to go to?

Darlings off Wenceslas Square

Ha! I'll try to make a sneaky visit to Darlings. Any bar/club recommendations that are suitable for lads AND girls?

There's one for the life of me I cant think of the name its 6 stories think its the biggest club in Europe. If you google for it you should easily find it. It's simply class different music on each level.

Nice one. I googled it. I think you're talking about Karlovy Lazne. It looks class. Thats Saturday night sorted - thanks for that. If anyone else has recommendations about bars an lcubs (and restaurants) let me know.

Karlovy let me down. I was expecting much more from a place that labels itself the biggest in Europe. Serious place for laydeez though.

Oh and be careful if you're drinking pints there, myself and a mate went on Pilsner Urquell or something like that in Karlozy, had about 8 pints and was more scuttered than I've ever been, couldn't understand why til we looked at the menu and saw the pints we were drinking were 8.8%. Which meant our 8 pints was really 16 in Irish terms :eek:

Club Roxy is good. Has a variety of nights. http://klub.roxy.cz/index-eng.php just watchwhenyour dancing, the women dance with you and rub you up a bit but there really dipping you. Wasnt overly impressed with that six story club. Each level has different music though, something for everyone in the group. Was inanother bar downthe road fromthe square,jack blacks or something similar. Good rock /metal bar

Can't recommend that big club on the river enough, 80 koruna for a pint, result!

Cafe Rouge all the way....Stay away from Irish bars around the square, a total rip off.

Yeah, Karlovy Lazne is really cool alright!
Great for the women...:cool:

But whatever you do, avoid the Emma hostel in the city centre!!!
Avoid, avoid, avoid!!

Myself and a friend were robbed in the hostel, as were two other people in the room.
My friend had his medication stolen. We had to wait untill we got to Vienna to get him some more.:(
The two other people, who were Finnish got their passports robbed!:mad:
We suspect it was the cleaner, as she was the only person with keys to the rooms and she had been hanging around acting suspicious before that!

As well as that, the beds were crap and the place was quite dusty....
The address is Na Zderaze 10

are the locals nice in Prague? They must despise drunken Brit/Irish tourists by now? I was in Estonia once a few years ago with 2 other friends, they were living in Finland so we went over for a couple of days from Helsinki, and the girls were just horrible to us when we tried talking to them or anything. They just assume you're a drunken strip club brothel going sex tourist.

ahyeah

Ah the locals are fairly sound. Once there's not 16 of ye marching around in matching t-shirts singing "en-ger-land" all the time ye'll be fine.

As mentioned above Karlovy Lazne is good, it's a different type of music on each floor. Can be a serious sweat box though.

Duplex on Wenceslas Square is a good spot, quite fancy it's up on the top floor of its building.

My favourite pub in Prague was Batalion which is on Ulice Rijina 28, if your at the bottom of Wenceslas Sq facing back up the square, take the street to your right, you'll see a place called Hard Rock Cafe, downstairs there is a rocking 24 hour bar. I'll try and think of some other spots and get back to you

Prague is a great beer city. Was there last november and you could easily get a pint of beer for 35 koruna (bout E1.30). The trick is to go to bars a few streets off the main strips. Look for the chalk boards that say "50cl pivo, 35Kc".

If you lookin to try a few nice beers, Id recommend Krusovice cerny. Lovely dark beer. or Gambrinus is also quite nice if you prefer lighter beers.
Or another great place is U Fleku bar. Its a bar that makes its own beer and it delicious (also dark). It has a cool beer hall with long tables where everyone sits together and has a laugh!!! I've heard can be a bit of a tourist trap (was fine for us), so (as with alot of Prague) keep an eye on your bill when there adding it up. The beer is great though.
Also Pivovarsky Dum is pretty cool too for beer. Has lots of beers like coffee beer, nettle beer, banana beer and occasional specials. Can be fun trying the different ones!!

The biggest niteclub in Middle Europe is a must! Cracking spot!
Great dancefloors like in the video for Billy Jean.
Also heard that there is a place of Wenclas Square that specialises in Midget strippers if you're into that kind of thing. They claim they are the biggest midgets in middle europe. Check out when they're working though as a friend told me that them places are really expensive to be going in on the offchance of seeing midget madness.

WHY GO TO PRAGUE TO GO TO IRISH PUBS?

thischarmingman

Getting excited now after reading those replies. We're heading this weekend. We're definitely hitting the big nightclub. Are the ladies that hot? Anybody score a local in Prague (and not paid for it)? Get in!!!

I reckon I'll give the midget strippers a miss this time

Unfortunately we'll have to hit an Irish bar - The Ireland France game is on this weekend

ahyeah

Yeah the local women are smashing. I was going with a Czech girl while I was there, if you learn just a few lines in Czech to start talking to em it'll make all the difference! Not many Czechs in the like sof Karlovy Lazne but if you head just a small bit outside the city centre to somewhere like Andel or Smichov you'll find plenty of clubs where there's hardly any tourists.

TBH, I found the locals in prague pretty bitch and sharp, a bit like some of the more nastier Polish Ive met, except worse.
The people in Brno (second biggest city in Czech) are horrible, really unfriendly people, probably best avoided!;)

If you stay away from the usual tourist spots you'll have a great time! If you can hear any english being spoken when you go in its probably a bad thing and you should leave and find somewhere else. Be adventurous.
