Prague Nightlife Introduction

In common with most European cities, clubs in Prague range from the truly excellent to the absolutely dire, with venues drifting in and out of favour at alarming speed. That said, established venues in the city centre are likely to suit most tastes, whether you're after first-rate grooves, the chance to pull or simply the odd night of cheesy tack! And, as some clubs are pretty much on a par with venues in established clubbing cities like London and Paris, expect showcases from well-known European DJs - particularly in the summer. What's more, prices are reasonable and the drinks not outrageously expensive!

Futurum Music Bar

Zborovská 7, Praha 5, Tel: +420 257 328 571, E-mail: futurum@musicbar.cz, Website: www.musicbar.cz, Tram: 6, 9, 12, Bus: 176, Open: 8pm-3am daily, Show Map
A sufficiently spacious and funky venue with DJs spinning a rather eclectic mix of music from the 80s and 90s (ranging from Erasure to Bon Jovi) as well as more contemporary sets. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks such as Gambrinus, Guinness and Heineken, while non-beer drinkers have a choice of wines and spirits to slake their thirst.

Probably Prague's most popular club at the present time, and one that has done much to shape the scene in the capital. Indeed, the club has been a permanent fixture here for almost a decade. Playing host to leading DJs from the UK and Europe it also showcases local talent, as well as incorporating a popular restaurant/café and a small but trendy art gallery. The club's interior is distinctive to say the least but we still reckon it's a great place to party!
