Investigate the local beer hall
Authentic Prague nightlife means visiting the corner beer hall. Czechs head to these underground taverns to relax, socialise and enjoy the world-famous beer or pivo of Czech renown. Hoisting a litre is integral to Czech culture; they drink the most beer in the world at 281.56 pints per person. Cheap and delicious (40p to £1.40 per half litre), why not have a go?
Hint: check out the Prague-brewed Staropramen and Velvet, a hybrid between Czech lager and Irish ale.
Head to the ancient brewery U Fleku, which dates back to 1360. Their only beer, the dark Flekovský lezák, was licensed for brewing in 1499 and there's a reason it's lasted so long. Now a tourist trap, the delicious beer and guaranteed rowdiness still make U Fleku a must-see. Located at Kremencova 11 in the Old Town.
A better bet? The underground pub Kozicka (Little Goat) located near Old Town Square. A wide range of beers, a laid-back crowd and tasty bar food make it a terrific local hang-out. Located at Kozi 1 in the Old Town.
Dancing until dawn
Eastern European nightlife shed its icy reputation along with Communism; now Prague nightlife pulses to the world's best DJs. Join an international crowd as they drink and dance in Prague's giant all night dance clubs.
Hint: the clubs get packed after 10pm, so show up early to avoid long queues.
The dance warehouse Karlovy Lázne is the largest disco in Central Europe. Located next to Charles Bridge, the club offers four floors each with a different music genre (one cover charge gets you in). Located at Novotného Lávka next to the bridge in the Old Town.
A better bet? The Roxy Dance Club attracts big name DJs like Grooverider and bands including Faithless and the Sneaker Pimps. Located at Dlouha 33 in the Old Town.
The jazz scene
Prague is known for its jazz, rock and blues culture. From secret clubs that played smuggled Elvis records in the 1950s to an impromptu saxophone concert by Bill Clinton in 1998, Prague's jazz scene is hot.
Visit the underground Ungelt Jazz & Blues Club in the middle of the city centre; admission is free, the acoustics are unbeatable and cheap beer is served in the pub upstairs. Located at Týn 2 in the Old Town ; enter from Týnská Street.
A better bet? The legendary Reduta Jazz Club, founded in 1958. Clinton played sax here in 1998; today expect live performances covering everything from to Dixieland to jazz rock.
