Prague Restaurants

The quality of the restaurants in Prague as drastically improved in the last ten years. Whether you want to sample the local cuisine or want something more familiar, you’ll find what you’re looking for in Prague’s exciting New Town. New Town is actually that new (it was created in the 1300s), however it’s the best place to find the unpretentious clubs in Prague. There’s also a great choice of restaurants to start the night off here.

U Ferdinanda is a relaxed Czech restaurant-come-pub that is popular with both tourists and locals for its tasty and reasonably priced food, wild décor and cheap beer.

One of the best Oriental restaurants in New Town can be found at the Hotel Yasmin Prague. Its ‘Noodles’ restaurant serves delicious noodle dishes, as well as some good Italian spaghetti dishes too(!).

Prague Pubs

For the ultimate bar crawl head to the Old Town district of Prague. Here you’ll find everything from traditional Czech pubs to swanky cocktail bars, jazz clubs to underground grunge joints.

To get a taste of authentic Prague nightlife (and beer!) try The Tomcat pub in Mala Strana district, next to Old Town. It serves local beer with a citrusy flavour from the nearby Bernard brewery. It shuts at 11pm, so bet to get there early and move on to the bigger bars in Old Town later on.

The Golden Tiger pub has a great atmosphere on a weekday night. Find it near to Old Town Square and the Charles Bridge, it serves a fantastic pint of Pilsner and is always popular with locals and visitors.

Prague Bars

For a cool, urban bar in Old Town, head to the Agharta Jazz club. The red brick cellar with high vaulted ceiling is a great venue for live music – enjoy funk, jazz and fusion here with a local brew or refreshing cocktail.

For a night out in one of Prague’s swankier bars, head to Tretters Bar, also in Old Town. With lots of punters dressed in sharp suits and beautiful dresses, it’s one of the places to be seen in Prague. The 1930’s décor and elegant cocktail menu make it a special venue to visit on a night out.

Prague Nightclubs

New Town has some of the best nightclubs in Prague. If you’re on a big group night out, head to Duplex – a popular club with stag and hen parties. The club is in a glass cube on one of the higher levels that overlook Wenceslas Square. MTV has held parties here and Duplex like to play the best in trance and dance music in this fun venue.

Karlovey Lazne is closer to Old Town, near the river. It’s open till 5am every day and entry is roughly 150Czk per person, but you can get discounts for big groups.
