Nightlife

As with most European cities there are lots of bars and clubs in Prague which makes a very exciting nightlife scene.

Keeping track of which are the ‘cool’ places to go is quite difficult as it seems that once they become ‘cool’ and well-known, they are no longer the place to be seen. Here we list only the long-established ones. You can pick up a listings magazine that will tell you what’s on and where to go for the best in Prague nightlife in most hotels and hostels and decide for yourself. We’ve listed some here that are worth checking out. Bars are open all day and the clubs usually kick off around 11pm and stay open until about 4am. If you are looking to keep the party going after 4am you will find some clubs that stay open later.


Duplex – Duplex is one of Prague’s most popular nightclubs with huge dance halls filled with local teenagers and even stag-party stragglers. It is a combination of nightclub, café and restaurant. During the day the 6th-floor terrace restaurant is a great place for coffee to enjoy the views. At night offers a view overlooking the lights of Wenceslas Square.
