    Bunkr Parukářka

    Only in Prague… A graffiti-covered steel door in the hillside at the west end of Parukářka park leads unexpectedly to a vast circular staircase that descends 15m underground into a 1950s nuclear bunker where a makeshift bar serves cheap beer in plastic glasses. This is the unlikely setting for one of Prague’s most unusual clubs, a claustrophobic shrine to electropunk, industrial, psytrance-electro-acid and any other weird and wonderful avant-garde electronic music genre you can think of (winners of the most eccentric label so far are Vložte Kočku, whose music is promoted as ‘psycountryemotriphoprap’). See the website for what’s on when you’re in town.

    Futurum

    Futurum is a cross-fertilisation of alternative and mainstream, with a bizarre décor that looks like a cross between an Art Deco ballroom and Flash Gordon’s spaceship. Midweek nights see occasional live perform­ances of jazz and soul, indie bands and record launches, but what really pulls in the crowds is the regular Friday and Saturday night ‘80s and ‘90s Video Party, with local DJs blasting out everything from REM and Nirvana to Bon Jovi and the Village People, complete with cringe-worthy videos.
