Indie nights in Prague

It´s likely that we won´t take long to agree that Prague isn´t really the cradle of pop, rock, indie-rock or pop-folk, so if you´re a big guitar fan, you´ll struggle to find your place in Prague´s nightlife scene. However, we´ve done all the dirty work for you. We have a correspondent there who just goes to bars and decides if they´re cool or not. Read carefully:

 

NoD

Skinny jeans and expensive glasses and maybe some big taches is what you can find here, where they often stage concerts, art exhibitions and theatre plays. The music isn´t bad, but you might have to endure a Spice Girls song that ruins it for everybody, but that may be the price to pay. But seriously, it´s a good place if you´re looking to go out until late with a great atmosphere and serious partying. Find it on Diouhá 33 110 00, Praha 1.

Meet Factory

Another fashionable place amongst Prague´s coolest people is Meet Factory, a cool art gallery-room where you can often listen to live bands that will make your jaw drop. Great atmosphere.  Ke Sklárn? 3213/15 150 00 Praha 5

Palác Akropolis

Palác Akropolis is a bar, theatre stage and party venue. If you´re bored at any time of the day, from 12pm you can drop by here and enjoy their daily events, reggae, techno or latin music DJs (check out the programme before you get here to avoid any surprises) and even live jam sessions. Oh, I nearly forgot, it´s also an excellent cheap restaurant. Find it on Kubelíkova 1548/27 130 00, Praha 3

Cafe v lese

A charming, retro and vintage place, Cafe v lese definitely has something very special. Perhaps it´s because the only bar in Prague where you can listen to (and dance) to swing. There are also concerts that you can enjoy sitting on the floor, if they´re relaxed, but also jump about -not very high because the ceiling is low- depending on who is playing. Krymská 12, Praha 10

The most authentic bar in the city

The most authentic bar in the city is undoubtedly -and careful here because we´re revealing a secret, since if you don´t know this bar you won´t find it- is a bar WITH NO NAME! If you go past it you won´t realise it´s there, waiting for it to open its doors so you can finally get a drink. It has a decadent aspect from the outside but don´t worry, it´s perfectly okay. It´s at the top of Bartolom?jská, look carefully!

Vagon

Is there a rocker in you? Well, this is your place, where you can listen to the greatest hits of rock, classic rock and plenty of rockabillies. Olbramovická 701, Praha 4

Cross Club

Lastly, if you´re more of a grunge person, Cross Club is the right place for you. It´s a bit of a dive but it has great atmosphere and a lot of young people who want to jump up and down in the concerts that take place at this venue. And when I say grunge, I say it more for the people who go there than for the music. Plynární 1096/23, Praha 7
