Prague: Discotheques, Pubs, Bars, Restaurants...

Where to go:

What to avoid:

Red, Hot & Blues
  • Nice and pleasant American place. Cajun, Tex Mex and Creole kitchen. Live music in the evenings. Medium priced. The best cheesecake in Prague (also less expensive than in "Sport Bar"). They have great "Daddy burger" with creole sauce and fries, as well as great "Grilled chicken sandwich". Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. They had free refill until I once stayed whole day and drank 20 coffees for the price of one. Jakubska 12, Metro "Namesti Republiky", behind "KOTVA" department store. Tel. 2314639
Radost FX
  • Avoid this popular discotheque if You're not fan of house and techno. "Radost FX bar" is a bit better, "FX cafe" is OK, especially if You're vegetarian. It is said that this place is visited (menaing not bar and cafe but disco only) only by whores, Arabs, gays, junkies and Yugoslavs (meaning both Croats and Serbs). (I'd add teenagers as well) Nuff Said? On the corner of "Yugoslavska" and "Belehradska" streets, P2, Metro "I.P. Pavlova".
Avalon
  • Nice and pleasant place with greatest club sandwich in Prague. Unfortunately, a bit (but only a bit) expensive. Lately they've started to remind me of those fancy places where You pay a hell of a lot to get a plate full of grass (anybody likes meat?). Still, nice atmosphere and surroundings, pleasant waiters and pretty good kitchen. Located at "Mala Strana", Metro "Malostranska".
Lavka
  • You have been warned! Stay out of this disco if You're not a stupid-teenage-spanish tourist. A bit expensive (nothing You'd worry about for a couple of visits only) menu, drinks moderate priced. The best garden in Prague. Nice to visit during the day (it is a garden restaurant during day) but to be avoided in the evening. Located just under the "Charles Bridge". Metro "Staromestska".
Friday's
  • Typical american restaurant/bar. A bit expensive (not for Americans though). "Na Prikope", P1, Metro "Mustek"
Planet Hollywood
  • closed :))))
JO's Bar
  • I think the owner is Canadian. Mexican food. Inexpensive. Don't take Your granparents there. I used to go there a lot, but not anymore. Located on "Mala Strana", near "Avalon", Metro "Malostranska".
McDonald's
  • No comment needed.
Little Glen's (U Maleho Glena)
  • Glen used to run "Red Hot and Blues", but then a couple of years ago he opened his own bar. It's a joke on Czech pubs, because every other Czech pub is called "At little..." (fox, bear, spider, etc.), so why not "Little Glen's"? (Also, if You know Glen, then You know he's not the tallest person in Prague) Inexpensive drinks and food plus live Jazz music very evening make this place one of my favorites (although I don't go there very often nowdays because it's across the bridge, to say at least out of the way). Metro "Malostranska".
Pizza Hut
  • No comment needed.
Terminal Bar
  • Not Your classic idea of a pub, if You're not computer freak; Not only this place has both PCs and PowerMacs connected to the internet (one hour costs 80Kc, 1DEM=20Kc), but it also contains a book shop, video rental, and it's own cinema for up to ten people which You can rent to view films from the video rental for less than 10USD per film... Highly recomended. http://www.terminal.cz Metro "Namesti Republiky"

CLOSED :(((

U Fleku
  • Try to avoid this place no matter what You read in the guides. Yes - this is a typical czech pub with it's own brewery (only dark beer), it exists since 14th century, but what's too much is too much. Well, You could say it's only my opinion, and You'd probably be right. First of all, the place hasn't been painted in 6 centuries since it was built; service is slow and inadequate, waiters are very unpleasant and most important, the prices are outrageous. I mean, I wouldn't care paying a lot at an expensive pub, but when I do pay I expect the service to be adequate, meals big and tasty, and surroundings at least pleasant. Which is just not the case in "U Fleku" no matter how famous this pub is. They seem to want to take all Your money without giving You any service. That is, probably, why this place is filled with Germans only, who have a visit to "U Fleku" as a part of their Prague tour. I don't know the exact adress, but as this place is "a must" for Prague visitors, I doubt You'll have problems finding it (Near Metro "Narodni Trida").
Pivrnec
  • Now, this is a place You'd want to visit instead of "U Fleku". Authentic Czech pub and cousine at moderate prices. Best "goulash" in town. Great beer. Best "Ovarene koleno" (leg of a pork) I had. All at reasonable prices. The whole place is painted with humorous comics about "Pivrnec", the protector of thirsty. A must see if You're in Prague. Meislova 3, P1, Metro "Staromestska".
KFC
  • No comment needed.
Klub Architektu/Duta Hlava (Empty Head)
  • Really good restaurant with moderate prices, a bit hard to find. Near cafe "Gulu Gulu". Betlemske Namesti 5a, P1 Tel. 24401214
Velryba (Whale)
  • One of the best restaurants in Prague - reasonably priced and always full. European cousine. Metro "Narodni Trida".
Kmotra (Godfather)
  • The most popular pizzeria in Prague. Always full. Sometimes You have to wait up to 30 minutes in order to get the table. Moderate prices, slow service, pretty good pizza, knives not sharp enough. Near "Velryba". If You don;t find place here, "Velryba is only a block away. Metro "Narodni Trida".

MARQUIS DE SADE (6281 bytes)

  • Come feel the pain! Be sure not to miss this pub! Templova 8, P1, Metro "Namesti Republiky", behind "KOTVA" department store. Tel. 24817505
