Drink, dine, and dance: 11 spots for your next night out in Prague

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.

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.

If you’re after a party that leaves ordinary behind, Goldfingers on Wenceslas Square delivers. 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. Whether you book a VIP table or drop in for the spectacle, Goldfingers brings the over-the-top fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whether you’re out for a night of house, techno, or live music, ROXY is where Prague’s nightlife finds its rhythm. For more than 30 years, it’s been the heartbeat of the Czech capital’s club scene, and continues to draw crowds with live shows and international DJs. Housed in a restored 1920s Art Deco cinema, the venue hosts live shows and performances every week, powered by one of Europe’s most advanced audio systems. Come for the energy of this legendary club and stay for the mix of music, art, and atmosphere under one golden ceiling.
