Clubs in Prague have spread all around, but each area has its own certain style. Most clubs & discos in Prague will play Euro-pop, MTV hits, hip pop, techno, house and rave for young people. If you are looking for another sort of music, it may take longer to find the right place. Clubs usually open at 9 pm or 10 pm and close early morning, around 5 am. Entry for clubs is usually 100 – 200 CZK but expect to pay more for special events and live music. To find out the latest information about clubs and live venues, check Prague Post newspaper, biweekly magazine Downtown or Houser – weekly magazine. Tickets for live performances and venues can be bought from TicketPro. Don’t be surprised if many clubs in the city centre open and within a couple of months close down again. This is due to strict noise regulations.
Some of the best venues are the Roxy and the Palác Akropolis, here you’ll find bands, DJs, drama, dance, art and films under one roof.

Dress Code
The dress code in Prague is very relaxed, and you will find that the clubs are never fussy about who they let in. The exception might be a few very posh clubs where you should not wear trainers etc.
Meeting Czech Girls/Boys
If you are a foreigner, you have a big advantage. Czech girls (boys) love foreigners. The best places to meet Czech girls (boys) are definitely dance clubs and even some bars.
