5 editor picks in Prague.
5 live music in Prague our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Prague nightlife.
Lucerna Music Bar opened in 1995 in the basement of the Lucerna Palace arcade between Vodičkova and Štěpánská, booking touring indie, rock, hip-hop and electronic acts plus the long-running 80s and 90s video party that fills the room every Friday and Saturday until five.
TipEnter through the arcade off Vodičkova; the 80s-90s video party is the easiest weekend ticket. Cloakroom moves fast.
Jazz Dock runs on stilts above the Vltava under the Janáčkovo riverbank, with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the water and two sets nightly across postmodern jazz, soul and acoustic singer-songwriter bookings. The room has run since 2009 and is among Europe's most prolific jazz programmers.
TipTwo sets nightly, usually 19:00 and 22:00; the late set on Friday and Saturday runs cheaper. Book ahead for named acts.
Reduta has run on Národní since 1957 as Prague's oldest jazz room, with a small stage that Bill Clinton famously played saxophone on during a 1994 state visit. Programming covers swing, mainstream jazz and blues across nightly sets.
TipConcert at 21:30 nightly; arrive by 21:00 for seats. Cash door plus card; small cover.
AghaRTA runs an Old Town basement off Železná with vaulted ceilings and a low stage that puts the band a metre from the front row. The programme has booked Czech and international jazz, fusion and world acts every night since 1991 and runs its own record label.
TipSets start at 21:00; arrive by 20:30 for seats. The phone line takes bookings evenings only.
Jazz Republic has run nightly sets since 1997 in a vaulted cellar off Jilská near the Old Town Square, programming Czech and international jazz, blues, fusion and Latin acts in a 50-seat room. Capacity is small enough that the front row sits at the band's feet.
TipReservations cap group bookings at 10; cash door. The Tuesday slot opens later than the rest of the week.
