If you could sum up the Prague nightlife scene in one word, it would be “pub.” Ok, maybe “beer” would be a better choice. Most locals would rather line up to sit at a long wooden bar in a pub to and gab and guzzle beer than dress up and go to a dance club or lounge. Remember, Prague is famous for its potent beer, busy pubs, and elaborate beer gardens. So, if you want to blend in with the locals late at night, all it takes is a pint in hand and a some personality.
Another popular night out for locals involves live music performances, well -- classical music and opera, that is, and Jazz. This is not to say that you won’t happen across a few Praguers that would prefer a dance club or a live rock band over a pub or classical music performance -- but pubs are simply the dominant theme here. Other popular forms of nightlife entertainment in Prague include hitting the blackjack table at one of Prague’s many casinos or taking in a movie at one of the city’s 35 busy movie theaters.
With a liberal tolerance for strip clubs and adult entertainment that rivals the loose standards of Amsterdam, Prague has also become a popular destination spot for bachelor parties and stag party trips. It’s a wild place, so you shouldn’t be surprised by anything.

Prague Nightlife Options
Whether it’s the outdoor section of a popular pub or an elaborate beer garden that only pops up during Prague’s warmest months – you are guaranteed a good time if you park it at one of the city’s many Czech beer gardens.
Prague has its fair share of bars and upscale cocktail lounges and some pretty decent dance clubs too. Prague’s Jazz clubs are very unique as they can be found just about anywhere ranging from the heart of the city to the very outskirts of town. And, many Jazz music “clubs” are more like Jazz lounges that also house art galleries and CD shops. You will find several pure live jazz clubs and many fusion-type live jazz clubs here that also feature live blues, soul, jazzrock, R&B, Dixieland, rock, and funk. Jazz music lovers typically start their nights rather early, so expect some performances to start as early at 7 p.m. – but usually no later than 9 p.m.
