Cross Club
This is an industrial club in every sense of the word: the setting in an industrial zone in Holešovice, the throbbing music (with both DJs and live acts) and the interior, an absolute must-see jumble of gadgets, shafts, cranks and pipes, many of which move and pulsate with light to the music. The programme includes occasional cabaret nights, theatre performances and art happenings. There’s drinking on two levels, plus a few picnic tables outside in case it gets to be too much. It’s easy to find despite the location: after exiting Nádraží Holešovice metro station, walk 100m to the east along Plynární street. You’ve arrived once you see the enormous industrial sculpture out…

Palác Akropolis
The Akropolis is a Prague institution, a labyrinthine, sticky-floored shrine to alternative music and drama. Its various performance spaces host a smorgasbord of musical and cultural events, from DJs to string quartets to Macedonian Roma bands to local rock gods to visiting talent – Marianne Faithfull, the Flaming Lips and the Strokes have all played here. DJs do their stuff in the Theatre Bar (Divadelní Bar) and Small Hall (Malá Scéna), spinning everything from house to hip-hop, and reggae to breakbeat.

Misch Masch
Good-time house and hip-hop is found at sticky-floored Misch Masch. Turn left for the large house area, with both female and (shock!) male podium dancers. To the right is the slightly more intimate hip-hop floor, bar and gallery. Fashionable without any unnecessary attitude, the place is popular with up-fer-it young locals, overseas students and a few older weekend-breakers. Watch for special themed evenings, too.

Roxy
Set in the ramshackle shell of an Art Deco cinema, the legendary Roxy nurtures the more independent and innovative end of Prague’s club spectrum – this is the place to see the Czech Republic’s top DJs. On the 1st floor is NoD, an ‘experimental space’ that stages drama, dance, performance art, cinema and live music; events here usually begin earlier in the evening before the nightclub kicks off at around midnight.

Sedm Vlků
Sedm Vlků ‘Seven Wolves’ is a two-level, art-studenty café–bar and club. At street level there’s candlelight, friendly staff, weird wrought-iron work and funky murals, and music low enough to have a conversation; down in the darkened cellar, DJs pump out techno, breakbeat, drum ’n’ bass, jungle and reggae from 9pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mecca
This former warehouse in Holešovice is now 10 years old and is still one of the best of the ultrafashionable dance clubs. Its industrial red brick and right angles are softened by rounded shapes, floaty drapes and futuristic curvy couches. Mecca is a magnet for models, film stars and fashionistas, and for the legion of clubbers who come for the huge, DJ-dominated dance floor and pumping sound system.

Klub 007 Strahov
Klub 007 is one of several grungy student clubs in the basements of the big college dormitory blocks in Strahov. The legendary 007 has been around since 1987, when it was a focus for underground music, and is now famed for its devotion to hardcore, punk, ska, ragga, jungle, ambient and other alternative sounds. On Saturday nights it hosts a regular hip-hop party.

Blind Eye
The owners keep the lighting very low in this scurrilous little speakeasy-style bar, because they reckon we all look better that way. Here a mix of expats and Žižkov locals lounge around, play table football or quaff the legendary 'Adios m*therf*cker' cocktails. Thursday's electroclash DJ evenings sees the place particularly mobbed.

Wakata
There’s no designer chic or style statements in this small, unpretentious, laid-back DJ lounge, a house-free zone where you can enjoy inexpensive beers and cocktails among the scuffed and mismatched furniture while you bop along to a soundtrack of funk, Latin, dub, ambient, jungle, reggae or hip-hop.

Duplex
Located in a glass cube perched on the 6th and 7th floors above Wenceslas Sq, this opulently decorated club has great views over the city and a penchant for trancey house music. Hosting a range of so-called MTV parties, Dirty Dancing and Bohemian eves, its central location attracts numerous stag parties.
