Live Music entertainment in Czech Republic

  1. A

    Lucerna Music Bar

    Nostalgia reigns supreme at this atmospheric old theatre, now looking a little dog-eared, with anything from Beatles tribute bands to mainly Czech artists playing jazz, blues, pop, rock and more on midweek nights. But the most popular event – don’t ask us why – is the regular 1980s and ‘90s video party held every Friday and Saturday night, which pulls in huge crowds of young locals bopping along to Duran Duran and Gary Numan.

    Baráčnická Rychta

    Atmospherically tucked away behind Nerudova along a winding Malá Strana street, this 19th-century beer hall feels a bit furtive and secretive - at least for this neck of the woods. In the small upstairs bar you can sup four types of Svijanský beer as well as the more common Pilsner Urquell; food is also served. Downstairs, the larger Cabaret Hall hosts big bands and offbeat live gigs.

    Retro Music Hall

    There’s been a dance club here for years, but Retro Music Hall has come into its own in the past year or two as a live venue for old rockers, niche bands and, well, ‘retro’ acts as diverse as Asia and Fishbone (yes, they’re both apparently still touring). Consult the website for what’s on when you’re in town. Definitely worth checking out.

    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.

    Malostranská Beseda

    Malá Strana’s former town hall now houses a large café–bar that hosts anything from hard rock to bluegrass via jazz and folk, playing to a young, mostly Czech crowd – it packs out early, particularly on weekends.

    Music Bar Anděl

    By day a coolly hip café, the Anděl is transformed after dark into a rocking live-music venue featuring the best of touring Czech bands and occasional international acts.

    Head to Zach's for live music, filling and tasty pub food and a suitably student atmosphere.

    Horor Bar

    Occasional live gigs surface in this kitschy labyrinth celebrating the (un)dead.
