Prague’s vibrant nightlife scene has something for everyone.

The combination of thousands of students and visitors fuels a lively, eclectic mix of bars and music clubs. Do as the locals do and decamp to the neighborhood pub or head off to catch a live show. The jazz and blues scene is especially rich.

Of course, Czechia is famous for its high-quality, good-value beer – and rightly so. Alongside the beer halls and microbreweries, though, Prague is a surprisingly solid destination for a carefully crafted cocktail. Look out for drinks based around local tipples like Becherovka, Fernet and absinthe. Whatever your idea of a good night out, just don’t get stuck in the center; districts such as Vinohrady and Žižkov also know how to party hard.

U Medvídků

Once a medieval brewery, U Medvídků is now a traditional pub, where long wooden tables sprawl out across vaulted halls. It’s one of a handful of places in the center to serve original Budvar beer from České Budějovice – the drink’s birthplace. The in-house brewers still experiment with their own concoctions, including potent semi-dark brews. There’s even a spa on-site that uses beer as a remedy for whatever ails you.

U Vystřeleného Oka

If you fancy a raucous Friday night, this legendary Žižkov dive-pub is worth the tram journey from the center. U Vystřeleného Oka translates as “Shot-Out Eye” – a nod to the statue of the…
