Hospůdka na schodech

The “Little Pub on the Steps” seems strategically located to relieve exhausted tourists climbing Radnické schody. Inexpensive, and popular with the locals.
Hospůdka nad Viktorkou

Bořivojova street boasts more pubs per metre than any other place in the country, and possibly the world. There’s nothing elegant about nad Viktorkou, but it’s the ultimate Prague pub.
Hostinec Stará radnice

Adjacent to Hradčany’s former town hall, this old-fashioned pub serves a standard menu of beer, utopence (see Utopence) and goulash. The noon bells next door at St Benedict’s let you know when it’s lunchtime.
Jágr’s

Owned by “friends and family” of National Hockey League star Jaromír Jágr, this sports bar has several giant screens, decent food and friendly service.
Jazz Café č. 14

Popular with an artsy student crowd that seems determined to blot out the lamp light with cigarette smoke. Otherwise, a comfortable retreat for sipping coffee or cheap wine.
Jazz Club U Staré paní

Prague’s favourite jazz club may not look like much from the outside, but the best local acts perform here regularly to full houses. Relatively high cover charges can’t keep fans away.
Jazz Club Železná (Mecca)

Some of the city’s edgiest jazz artists take to the stage at this club. Železná has left its entertaining labyrinthine venue and moved to Mecca, in Holešovice (see Mecca). Table service remains a bit off-hand.
Jo’s Garáž

A club chronicler in the mid-1990s wrote that Jo’s had its finger on the pulse of Prague’s “expat scene”. Little has changed here since. The backpack set still bump eagerly to pop tunes on the cramped cellar dance floor. If you’re hungry, upstairs is a restaurant serving passable Tex-Mex food.
Kajetánka

Sip an espresso on the rooftop while peering through one of the telescopes at the city below. The quiet patio has large tables where you can lunch and plan your visit to the castle next door.
Karlovy lázně

The former public bath- house, just 100 m from Charles Bridge, was converted into a dance club in the late 1990s. You can still admire the original tiles along the corridors and the splendid mosaic murals. Drained of water, the pools now serve as the dance floors.
