The junk-shop setting has been a favourite of neighbour-hood hipsters and students for years. It’s an excellent spot to spend a rainy afternoon sipping tea or Moravian wine.
-
This café, located behind the Kotva department store, offers a wide selection of coffees: more than 30 freshly roasted single-bean varieties, plus blended and flavoured coffees.
-
Billed as Prague’s first New York nightclub, N11 combines a sleek discotheque with good pub-style dining. Open until the early hours of the morning. Strangely, journalists and medical staff receive a 10 per cent discount – the club’s owner is both.
-
Good, fresh beer and an outstanding roast duck with cabbage and dumplings are among the offerings here. The New Town brewery tends to pack guests in tightly, which can mean long waits between drinks. Also known as “U Surlýho Waiterů”.
-
What seems like an improbable combination of Irish and Cuban themes actually works a treat, with Sunday roasts and Guinness on tap. When the football’s on, expect the bar to be filled with a hooligan-free crowd of locals, tourists and expatriates. Unfortunately, the fun stops at midnight.
-
In addition to being at the heart of Prague’s indie and world-music scene, the Akropolis hosts the likes of Ani Difranco, Apollo 440 and Transglobal Underground. The small, smoky Divadelní bar is the hippest, hosting Prague’s best DJs. On the ground floor level is a café and Czech restaurant. On a more cultural note, this is also the best venue in town to hear contemporary Romany music from such local acts as Alom or Věra Bílá and Kale.
-
“The Mousetrap” is a perfect blend of old-fashioned beerhall and modish gastro-pub, serving light and dark Bernard beer and good, filling food.
-
Excellent, rustic Czech fare served in a genteel setting. The house brewmaster is always concocting strange new flavours for his drinks, such as coffee lager or champagne ale. You can also watch the fermenting vats that will eventually become beer, if the process of brewing interests you.
-
“The Wounded Goose” is the place to go to watch football over fish and chips. Several domestic and imported beers for a loud and lively clientele.
-
Prague’s most chic disco pushes the limits with parties so hedonistic you wonder if there isn’t a law against them. Hip-hop, funk and disco are the prevalent flavours on the dance floor. The vegetarian café upstairs is open until 4am. During peak lunch and dinner hours, it can be very hard to find a seat.
