Termix runs as Prague's longest-standing gay disco, with a compact dance floor, an upstairs lounge and a karaoke night programmed through the week. The club moved to the Vinohradská 40 premises of sister club Maxx in 2025 after 20 years on Třebízského and continues the same booking.
Tip: Wednesday through Saturday only; metro A to Jiřího z Poděbrad is two minutes away. Cash bar.
Address: Vinohradská 1789/40, 120 00 Praha 2, Prague
The Saints runs a small Vinohrady bar a block from Termix, with multilingual bartenders, gay-press magazines on the counter and a regular rotation of drinks specials. It functions as the start-of-night meeting spot for the surrounding Vinohrady queer scene.
Tip: The bar shares ownership with Prague Saints travel; staff English-speaking and helpful on directions onward to other clubs.
Friends has run from a Bartolomějská cellar in the Old Town since the mid-1990s, with three floors, a small dance floor and a weekly rotation of karaoke, drag, oldies and themed nights. The crowd reads queer-leaning but cross-tourist.
Tip: Tuesday karaoke and Thursday drag are the packed nights. Cash easier than card; ATM on site.

Cult runs the Czech Republic's reference Japanese-style listening bar from the basement of Café Tvaroh on Šmeralova in Holešovice, with Klipsch La Scala and Heresy speakers, an Isonoe rotary mixer and a Reloop turntable rig. Programming runs vinyl-only across jazz, ambient and electronic selectors.
Tip: Red neon outside indicates the door is open; conversation is kept low between sides. Only Thursday through Saturday.
Vzorkovna runs as Prague's reference underground dive, a labyrinth of low-vaulted rooms under Národní with mismatched furniture, a foosball table, a small live music room and several resident dogs roaming between the bars. Payment is loaded onto a bracelet at the door.
Tip: Load the bracelet with what you plan to spend; unused credit is non-refundable. The room peaks 23:00 onward.
U Vystřelenýho oka has run on the slope below the Žižkov hill since the 1990s, named after the one-eyed Hussite commander Jan Žižka. Pilsner Urquell from the tap, a fish tank built into the bar counter, a courtyard beer garden in summer and occasional punk and acoustic live sets in the back room.
Tip: Closed Sunday. The beer garden out back is the summer seat; cash only, smoking inside is part of the deal.
Bukowski's has run on Bořivojova since 2008, named after Charles Bukowski with smoke-fogged candles, cocktails and cigars across a small wood-panelled room. The bar trades on a downbeat-but-friendly Žižkov atmosphere and a cocktail list cheaper than the Old Town options.
Tip: Cash only at the door; the room fills after 22:00. Smoking inside; the back room is quieter.
