Bars in Prague

I usually go to academic conferences in Prague, which can be quite dry and sober affairs at the best of times. However academics, like many other sectors, like to unwind after a hard days arguing and posing, so repairing to the bar to discuss the latest theoretical perspectives, or to just get drunk, is a frequently-indulged pastime post-conference. Naturally, Prague is world-famous for its beer, and rightly so. Some of my favourites are the Irish theme bars off Wenceslas Square (which isn't a square, but there you go). Good food (a rarity in Prague in my opinion - Czech grub is too stodgy for me, I can feel my arteries hardening within a square mile of it) is available ...  Read the complete review

There are some really good bars in Prague. They vary from the cheaper more traditional Czech style bars to the more expensive, modern disco bars and nightclubs. Wenceslas Square has a really good sports bar at the top of the square off to the right hand side.

Prague is definately heading to be Europe's next metrolpolitan. A country in central Europe, an old communist regime, but growing in attraction. The reason for its popularity, I guess, is the inexpensive lifestyle and the beauty of its architecture and greenary. All come with a back side. The tourists are always there to invade every traditional bar or club. The tourists carrying around their Travellers guide, the Lonely Planet or whatever, leading them all to the same place. After three days in Prague of absolute hell when discovering that the only culture I bumped in to was either English, American, French or German, I was fed up. I thew away my ...  Read the complete review
