Entertainment in Bohemia

A
Černej velbloud
One half is a cruisy kavárna with occasional live music and eclectic snacks, and the other half a camel-bedecked (velbloud means 'camel') unpretentious venue with lots of interesting sounds. In any week you'll hear anything from old-school ska to drum 'n' bass.

Singer Pub
With Czech and Irish beers, and potent cocktails, don't be surprised if you get the urge to rustle up something on the Singer sewing machines on every table. If not, challenge the regulars to a game of foosball with a soundtrack of nicely noisy rock.

Potrefená Husa
CB's bright young things come out to play at this spot owned by Prague's Staropramen brewery. With tasty bar snacks, Belgian beers, and a summer terrace overlooking the water, the burghers of Budvar might be a tad concerned at the enemy in their midst.
