Prague Nightlife
Finding a Club
A great Prague club resource is Rave (www.rave.cz). A Prague nightlife specialist search engine, this link will get you to the dance/music Prague club gig listings and includes the rest of the Czech Republic. It’s in Czech but, I’ll show you how to get the info you want. Imagine you are surfing for Prague club action in Prague about a month (or even a week or a day) before you come here. Do the following:
Go to the Prague nightlife search site at www.rave.cz (the dance party listing part of the site).
You’ve got a list of places on the left and at the top is a search box. Next to the search box is the date-range. Lastly the blue Hledej” which means search. Note that this is a national search engine so default options are not just Prague.
If you want all possible Prague nightlife club options simply enter the word “Praha”, adjust the date range and click search. If you want it more refined then enter the date range and in the main search box type the name of a venue like “chapeau rouge” or just a genre of music like “house” or “techno”.
When you click one of the above options a list of Prague club and Prague nightlife venues with rave webpage info is now displayed on the screen with a small description (sometimes). There will be a link to the club where you can find pricing etc. Each Prague club webpage will almost certainly be in Czech but it will show the type of club music genre being offered on any given night.
TIP1: when you get to the individual club webpage then usually the address and opening times can be found on the “Kontakt” tab and the club schedule will be on the “Program” tab.
TIP2: A “real” Prague club i.e. not just a drinking bar with music, will allow free entry Sunday to Wednesday but, have an entry charge Thursday, Friday and Saturday but, it is not big i.e. 100kc and even then you may get a free beer.
Below is a collection of Prague nightlife venues for both dance gigs and music but, if you have found the music that you like then the rave.cz website will give you the best Prague club choices.

Prague Nightlife – Techno/Rave – Roxy Club
For Prague nightlife Roxy is still the techno and rave king now with cool metal/glass tables upstairs and new floors. Everything else still a bit rough” looking. I love the way it still describes itself as a “warehouse” environment i.e. dilapidated but it seems to work when combined with the music, lighting and video projection. Cutting edge bands passing through here all the time. www.roxy.cz.
Prague Nightlife – RnB/HipHop – Club Radost FX
Radost FX is a restaurant and bar lounge club upstairs. For Prague nightlife, the heavy soul masses are in the basement. This is a Prague club which can get pretty touristy sometimes, but with a bunch of friends it’s a really cool spot. Recently it has diversified into R’n’B and now has a specialist “Black Music” soul and Hip Hop nights. www.radostfx.cz.
Prague Nightlife – Techno – Club Mecca
Club Mecca has a cool seating area upstairs together with a restaurant that is open till 11PM and downstairs the techno club leaves the ears and eyes with sensor overload.

Prague Nightlife – DnB, RnB, Hip Hop – Club Duplex
Duplex Prague is located at Vaclavske Namesti 21 on the 6th floor and has reopened after renovation. Two different dance levels, five bars, professional club dancers and probably the best lightshow in Prague i.e. smart Prague nightlife etc. Check the themed nights as different DJs are playing different styles but the webpage lists the main genres. You go in on the ground floor and take one of the lifts up to the top. More on the Duplex Club post.
Prague Nightlife – Mainstream – Karlovy Lazne
Karlovy Lazne (next to the Charles Bridge) lays claim to being not only the biggest Prague club but also the biggest club in Europe so don’t hold that against it. Four floors with varying types of mainstream, techno and drum’n’bass mixed music but, does not host gigs. Now a Prague nightlife mainstay. Prague tickets are all on the door. www.karlovylazne.cz
Prague Nightlife – Mainstream – Club Lavka
Lavka (next to Charles Bridge around the corner from Karlovy Lazne). A Prague club completely refurbished after the flood. Used to have the reputation of having lots of single Czech girls looking to get hooked up with expats serving tours of duty in Prague. Still does apparently!!!! Very nice outside garden area. Stay outside for a quiet-ish drink late in the evening and then go back into the Prague club. Pleasant Prague nightlife option. www.lavka.cz
Prague Nightlife – After Party – Studio 54
For Prague nightlife, this is the only decent “After Party” Prague club that I know. If you want a real mix of people and great DJ’s AFTER the normal clubs have closed then this is the place. Located at Hybernska 38 (30 metres before the highway). Opens 0500 to 1300 with each DJ getting two hours. You can download mp3 music from the site to give you an idea of the different types of music each DJ plays. www.studio54.cz
Prague Nightlife – Mainstream – Lucerna Music bar

Prague Nightlife – Music bar – Back Doors
Andel, Prague 5. Half a block over from the Novy Smichov shopping centre in the direction of the river.
