If you want plenty of history with your beer, head to The Golden Tiger. The Prague 1 location means a slightly more expensive beer, but where else can you sip in such celebrated surroundings? Bohumil Hrabal (one of the greatest of all Czech writers) was a frequent visitor back in the day, a stamp of approval that most places would die for.
No matter the type of night you’re after, the best nightlife spots in Prague can provide it. The Czech desire for excitement knows no bounds, but there is more to a night out in Prague than a seemingly endless conveyor belt of pivo that seems to cost less than water. Sure, you can find that too, but nightlife in the Czech capital is more varied than you might assume. Prague is endlessly stylish and that is mirrored in the bars, pubs and clubs.
The best places to go out in Prague are almost always outside the centre, so get yourself a metro ticket and explore the neighbourhoods. Many spots in the Old Town have abandoned character in favour of profits, with the real fun found in Holešovice, Smichov, Kárlin and the rest. Still, it would be churlish to ignore the tourist-friendly spots in Prague 1, and our guide to the best bars in town covers plenty of ground.
