Nightlife in Prague |

After the sun sets, it's time to experience another side of Prague. It's hauntingly beautiful in the dark - Gothic churchtowers and Prague Castle are illuminated, the winding cobblestone streets full of mystery...and the people of Prague are serious about partying. Czechs have a liberal attitude towards drinking and smoking, and nights out on the town are a great opportunity to meet interesting people, both locals and fellow visitors. A word about safety: there is very little violent crime, and the streets at night are relatively safe for women, even alone, compared to other countries. The biggest problem you may encounter as a single female is other tourists! Czech males are, generally speaking, respectful and helpful. As always, watch your wallet! Males who are intoxicated and distracted by beautiful women are an easy target for pickpockets. And please know your limits when drinking - local beverages are often higher in alcohol than what you may be accustomed to.
Clubbing: If you're a technophile, speakertweaker, or a slave to the dancefloor, you'll have fun in Prague. Prague has some excellent clubs, but there are also many lame clubs that play top 40 songs from about ten years ago - and not in an ironic way. Prague clubs are very smoky, so if that's not your thing, maybe you should skip clubbing in Prague. If you want a real rave, outdoors or in a warehouse, go to Radost or Bohemia Bagel, or any record store, and check out the flyers distributed weekly. Czech ravers are very peaceful and friendly. There's no searches at the door, and once inside, there are no security guards. However, the bouncers at the door can be downright mean. Good Czech websites for info: e techno.cz and badpoint.cz.
Pubbing:Even people who normally don't care for beer have to admit that Czech beer is simply the best. Through centuries of careful testing and happy tasting, Czechs managed to get beer brewing down to an art and a science. Prague pubs are everywhere. There are more pubs in Prague than there are churches. So if you worship the golden liquid - you're in luck. Recommended beers to try: Bernard, unpasteurized and delicious; Gambrinus, easy to drink and Staropramen, smooth and so refreshing. Try dark beers, too. A bit sweeter, but full of flavor. But women beware: rumor has it that your cup size goes up if you drink it often!
Cocktail Bars: The Czech Republic is, of course, known for its beer, and those who don't like it visit a "vinarna", or wine bar, instead. But if you'd rather sip an expertly made cocktail in a stylish bar, far from the loud, smoky pubs, what hope is there? Most bars can't even spell cocktail (you'll see "coctail" everywhere) much less mix one. But there are a select few bars in Prague that make a world-class cocktail (for a world-lass price, naturally.)
Casinos: Prague has many opportunities for those who like to gamble. Many bars around the city, known by their neon signs that say "Herna" and "Non - stop" have some kind of gambling, but this is limited to not-so-glamorous machines in questionable dark rooms. If ever there was a place to find people who are probably not tourists, these types of bars are it. But Prague has several "real" casinos aimed primarily at businessmen and tourists. Be prepared to pay about 500 CZK for entrance. A formal dress code is sometimes enforced.
Adult Cabarets: Prague certainly has lots to offer the adventure-seeking traveller who enjoys live cabarets, private entertainment, or wants an unforgettable bachelor party. Stag parties can get a cold shoulder from restaurants and bars, and unfortunately, groups of males often get turned away from smaller, upscale nightspots.
