The best Prague
nightclubs have a certain edge and vibe you won't
find elsewhere. If you're here for a short few days,
definitely visit one (if not all) of these. Here's a list
of the best clubs in Prague for nightlife, music and fun.
You probably already know that Prague has some of the
best nightlife in Europe. Top DJs, dancing and pure
partying are abundant. With that in mind, check out our
list of the best Prague nightclubs below.
If you're new to clubs in Prague, be assured, there will
be plenty of good sounds, pretty people and late night
entertainment. This isn't the Eastern bloc any more!
Generally, clubbing in Prague starts quite late (23:00)
and ends very, very late. Clubs and bars in Prague have
much more relaxed rules about closing times than you might
find in other Western countries.
So expect to party late, into the wee hours - just in
time for breakfast?
Many clubs offer free entrance if you show up a bit early
and you'll find weekday partying to be a bit cheaper.
Obviously not all Prague nightclubs are created equal.
Some will be filled with fellow travelers. If you want to
avoid these places, then consider smaller venues outside
the "tourist zones" and Wenceslas Square.
But, really, either way, you should find a good time.
Just relax and enjoy. You might not travel to Prague again
for a long while, so feel free let go.
Don't confuse these music nightclubs with other types of clubs that Prague nightlife is famous for. We've categorized those types of red light nightclubs as, Prague brothels.

This hip club touts itself as the "home of
extravagant parties." And, it might be onto
something. It's one of the oldest and most
respected clubs in Prague for a good reason. At times it has a heavy expat and traveler
crowd, since it's probably noted in every Prague
guide around. But, it's still worth visiting. Radost offers a variety of other stuff too - from a decent vegetarian restaurant that serves a delicious brunch to an interesting gallery space. Address: Bělehradská 120, New Town, Prague 2. Getting there: metro C to I.P. Pavlova; trams 4, 6, 10, 11, 16 and 22 to I.P. Pavlova |
This legendary Prague club sets the tone for
the entire scene in Prague. You'll find a
different program every night and late night
hours. The Roxy also has the occasional live band and always master DJs on hand. And, the location is perfect - just steps from Old Town Square. Address: Dlouhá 33, Old Town, Prague 1. Getting there: metro B to Náměstí Republiky or trams 8, 14 and 26 to Náměstí Republiky. |
| Mecca is one of those Prague nightclubs that
you'll be glad you took the effort to find. It's
in Holešovice, which isn't exactly tourist-central,
but it's worth the little extra time to get
there. Plus, they have a club bus that will pick you up from Wenceslas Square. The club is fairly small, but cheaper than other popular venues and has plenty of party inside. Address: U Průhonnu 3, Holešovice, Prague 7. Getting there:
metro C to Nádraží Holešovice;
trams 5 and 12 to U Pruhonu |

You can think of Duplex as the Hollywood-esque
club in Prague. It's over-the-top, shiny and
full of pretty people - and has a
VIP feel to it. Duplex is also right in the heart of Wenceslas Square which makes it easy to find and close to lots of other nightclubs. Don't miss the rooftop deck and view - very cool. Address: Václavské náměstí, New Town, Prague 1. Getting there:
metro A to Můstek or A and C line to Muzeum |

Located in Prague's up-and-coming Holešovice
neighborhood, Sasazu is certainly a place to
experience. Meaning... you probably don't have a
place like this at home. Not only is the club top-notch, with a strong
bill of events and concerts, but its restaurant
with Asian delicacies is fantastic too. Come for
dinner and stick around for the entertainment,
highly recommended. Address: Bubenské nábřeží 13, Holešovice, Prague 7. Getting there:
metro C to Vltavská; trams 1, 3, 5 and 25
to Pražská tržnice ![]() Courtesy photo: Sasazu Nightclub and Restaurant |

Finally, a little advice
before you head out...
-- We'll restate the obvious. Consider clubs that are
close to your hotel or wherever you're staying. A short
walk would be ideal.
-- Keep in mind, the metro runs till midnight. Between
midnight and 5 am, Prague's night trams service the city.
Their routes are a bit different from daytime trams and
can be a bit of a pain in the neck sometimes. Plus, their
intervals can be quite long (30 mins).
-- If you need to use a taxi, bear in mind that the
driver should use the meter at all times. You might even
consider getting a quote before agreeing to the ride.
Prague taxi drivers have been known in the past to scam
unsuspecting tourists, so always be careful with taxis.
