Nightlife in Prague

Our Opinion: "Prague is the grand daddy of Eastern European stag do destinations but it is for a reason: it is fantastic. Prague is one of the most stunning cities in Europe, it is still reasonably priced and the nightlife is second to none. If you have not been on a Prague stag do before then it is a must! If you have been already then you know what we are talking about and you will probably be happy to go back again, and again and again.... :)"

Prague Nightlife guide for the best Prague Stag do's: Alcohol bar in the old Town serves 400 delicious cocktails and has live music most nights of the week, either from local DJs or talented musicians. Another stylish cocktial bar is Aloha wave lounge, where the interior reflects a 60s south pacific Hawaiin theme. Near the old town square is the Bombay cocktail bar and is a very popular place, amongst international guest & locals alike. They have a no Stag party policy, so if you’re a rugby team dressed in school girl outfits, we suggest you try somewhere else. Hapu, Bugsy's or Barock are also good choices for fine cocktails and cool vibes, excellent for discerning travelers that want to avoid the stag night type of atmosphere.
