4 editor picks in Prague.
4 late-night dives in Prague our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Prague nightlife.
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.
TipLoad 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.
TipClosed 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.
TipCash only at the door; the room fills after 22:00. Smoking inside; the back room is quieter.
U Hrocha pours Pilsner Urquell from gold taps in a vaulted Malá Strana room a five-minute walk below the Castle, with exposed brick arches and a regulars-first culture that holds the room against the surrounding tourist trade. One beer on tap, traditional Czech bar snacks.
TipArrive at opening for a seat; tables fill with locals by 17:00. Cash only.
