Praha, Dobry Den

Prague, Czech Republic

Best things to see: old town, petrin hill, the church in the castle is pretty, mucha museaum is cool if you like Art Nuveu, the jewish quarter is very interesting.

Clubs:
Disclaimer: all my information is at least a year and a half out of date, but most of these clubs are institutions so they are not likely to go anywhere.

Château: probably our favorite spot; not the best but really good location right behind the big church in old town, and lots of really fucked up people are always there and it has really cool walls in the basement and apparently a whole different floor we never discovered under the basement.
Old Town Square

Radost: considered the best club (oldest), much bigger, good restaurant upstairs (vegetarian, but still considered exceptionally good food in Prague by carnivores). They charge cover, but girls get in free on Thursday night till 11, it’s only 5-ish dollars for guys.
Tram stop: I.P Pavlova

Mecca: we went every Wednesday, top floor is house music, bottom floor is hip hop & there are lots of nice couches. It’s out of town but there is a free bus that leaves from the first McDonalds in Wenceslas square which runs till 1 every 10 minutes, then a cab back is only about 5 a person. You can get a table for dirt cheap.. like 50 I think, and then you get to have a table all evening and a handle of absolute and red bulls.

Duplex: we only went once, really big flashy club, there is a 10 dollar cover and drinks are more expensive. They have good go go dancers and lots of cool lights though, but when we went there were lots of middle aged British men… so maybe go when girls get in free.
On Wenceslas square.

Lucerne: We went on Fridays – 80s night. really big club, with a stage that most people dance on that plays music videos on a big screen behind, lots of concerts are here.
Just off of Wenceslas.

Nebe: Might be closed now... Underground cellar / bar/ lounge. There might be cover on the weekends.
Near Tesco, Tram stop: Narodni Trida

Karlovne Lazne: the five story club.. Really trashy but you have to go just to see it… cover and line to get in… then really dirty inside but there are five levels and bars on each one.
Riverfront

La Klan: After hours. Apparently really good when the downstairs is open, but I’ve never seen it open.

Studio 54: Another after hours

Bars:

Dogs Bullocks: British pub, good beers & the waiters speak English
Near Tesco, Tram stop: Narodni Trida

Ultramarin: Restaurant / Bar. Really good gin & tonics that they put cucumbers in .. live music too
Near Tesco. Tram stop: Narodni Trida

Usudu: could be spelled wrong… really good wine bar near Tesco square… huge jugs of wine for really cheap and literally miles of underground rooms and passages.. usually filled with Czech people.
Near Tesco, Tram stop: Narodni Trida

Pivovarsky Dum: on the 22, 23 or 6 tram line from tesco, the stop before I.P pavlova, really good , 64 kinds of beer, and the beer on tap they bring to you in an elephant which is a giant cylinder with its own tap on it.

Kamotra Pizza: just a resturaunt… but is the best pizza.
Near Tesco/ Ultamarin / Nebe
