Prague · Nightlife

Dark, tiny and absinthe-serious cocktail room on Karoliny Svetle. Reserve days ahead; walk-ins are usually turned away.

Vaulted cellar jazz club near the Old Town, live sets nightly at 9pm. Small room, so book the table online first.

Holesovice warren of welded scrap metal and turning cogs. Free most weeknights; drum and bass and techno at weekends.

Live gigs midweek; Friday and Saturday from 9pm it is the 80s and 90s video party, packed and gloriously uncool.

Karlin brewery and taproom pouring its own unfiltered lager until 1am. No reservations, but always room to stand.
