We’ve all been there: It’s 9:59 p.m. on a Friday. You’re dressed up, ready to go, and the group chat is still arguing about where to head. In Prague, one of Europe’s top nightlife cities, that shouldn’t be a problem. Yet with pubs, clubs, cocktail lounges, and hidden cellars on every corner, choosing the right spot can feel like a full-time job.

Whether you’re in the mood to dance until dawn, savor conversations over cocktails, or plan an unforgettable stag or hen night, we've rounded up 10 spots that prove Prague’s nightlife is worth leaving the sofa for.

For star-studded entertainment

Hard Rock Café is an icon in its own right, and makes you feel like you’re dining in Prague’s own version of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Located just off Old Town Square and steps from the Vltava, this buzzing spot keeps the kitchen open late, mixes up cocktails that pack a punch (try their world-famous Hurricane or Rockin' Fresh Rita), and hosts live concerts and parties that keep the energy going all night long. One of 170 locations worldwide, this restaurant-meets-mini museum serves up good music, American-inspired bites, and décor that transports you back in time, including Elvis Presley's trousers and a guitar-shaped chandelier.

For party games that go beyond bar crawls

Prague is well known as the ultimate stag or hen night city, but why choose the usual bar crawl experience when there's more fun to be had? Up the stakes while giving your party's bride or groom an unforgettable send-off with a custom-made outdoor adventure game through the city. The mission from StagHenPrague is simple: "save the wedding" by decoding witty riddles, cracking custom-made props and uncovering secrets that are probably better left buried—all while exploring Prague’s hidden gems and creating memories that will have you laughing for years to come.

This high-energy nightclub is made for stag nights, birthdays, and any celebration that calls for a little extravagance. Expect acrobatic performances, exotic dancers, and nonstop entertainment, all set in a space that keeps the energy high from the first cocktail to the last dance.

For Cuban music, cigars, and Latin beats

Salsa, mojitos, and a splash of color—La Bodeguita del Medio brings the Cuban spirit (and heat) to a Czech night out. Just steps from Old Town Square, the bar pulses with music and color, creating the kind of festive energy that makes you want to dance before your first sip. You can, thanks to a live band playing Cuban music daily or the beats of their Latin American disco show. Order a drink, linger over Cuban-inspired dishes, sample a cigar from their onsite cigar bar, and let the fiesta vibes carry you into an evening that feels a world away.

Buddha Bar Prague blends luxury Asian cuisine with a lively nightlife vibe. The restaurant and bar ensure your night is full of indulgence, from sushi to signature cocktails, but it's the entertainment you'll want to stick around for. Every evening comes alive with new sights and sounds, with DJs spinning fresh tracks, live saxophone sets, and occasional burlesque performances, creating a feast for all the senses. Its stylish lounge and menu full of unexpected flavors, the perfect spot to indulge, sip, and let the night carry you away.

For castle views and cocktails with Italian flair

Looking for a night out that's a little more upscale? CottoCrudo Bar blends Italian charm with Czech ingredients to create signature drinks such as the Upside-Down Martini made with Juveano Mistelle de Muscat, dry vermouth, and gin from Garage 22. With unobscured views of Prague Castle, it's cozy yet stylish, the perfect spot to meet friends, enjoy small plates that feel both creative and approachable, and linger over bites in a warm, inviting atmosphere. And if you’re in the mood for a touch of mystery under the moonlight, try their specialty cocktail menu to see where the night takes you.

Monkey bar

Conveniently located near Prague's Main Train Station and Wenceslas Square, Monkey Bar brings jungle vibes to the heart of the city. Their cocktail and mocktail menu evokes the warmest tropical vibes, with ingredients like banana, yuzu, coconut and more, and small bites keep you full as the night goes on. It's easy to socialize with others over drinks at their communal bar table, but finding a quiet corner for more intimate evenings is always an option too. A heated winter garden keeps the chill away so you can enjoy the outdoors all year long.

Monkey Bar

For endless music across multiple dance floors

There are nightclubs, and then there’s Karlovy Lázně. Housed in a 14th-century building that once served as a bathhouse, this Central European club giant has become a go-to spot for Prague's party-goers. It boasts over five (yes, five!) floors of music, each with its own energy, from pulsing dance and electronic beats to Latin grooves, '80s and '90s hits, and hip-hop. With its size, diversity, and state-of-the-art sound, Karlovy Lázně is as much a Prague landmark as it is a club.

For those feeling nostalgic for Americana

Sometimes the night calls for a little...time travel. Step through the doors of James Dean and straight into a 1950s American diner, with neon lights, chrome accents, and rock ’n’ roll on repeat. By day it’s a retro-style restaurant serving classic comfort food; by night, it transforms into a high-energy bar with DJs, dancing, and a Veuve Clicquot VIP Lounge that feels fancier than what you’d see at a drive-in movie. And if that weren't enough to get you to grease your hair back and put on your leather jacket, the underground bar will have you fully immersed in the era while sipping star-studded cocktails.

For master mixologists with stories to tell

Tucked away in Old Town, B21 Cocktail Bar is cozy but packs big flavor and even bigger charm. Every cocktail is crafted by blending local ingredients, house-made syrups, and fresh flavors into drinks that highlight the best of Czechia’s 14 regions. Every signature drink tells the story of the region that inspired it, turning every visit into a memorable night out. Limited seating and an intimate atmosphere make the bar feel as though it's all your own, so make time for an aperitivo on the courtyard terrace or savor seasonal drinks with complimentary small bites.
