This pub has a self-service beer tap on each table so you can draft your own beer. Since there are 11 of these pubs around the Czech Republic, you are basically compating as a table against other tables and you can see Local pub/National wide lifetime beerscore!
They have also nice Czech cuisine too!

Especially when it's warmer, young people gather here to drink. There are several points where you can either buy a takeaway beer or sit on a deck of a docked boat to appreciate a sunset. If you are lucky, there are some live bands too. Also try walking the waterfront from here up north :) Check-out program for more at:

In this place, there are events and concert of many kinds, including drum and bass, techno, dubstep, reggae, and house. The exterior already is unconventional being decorated with kinetic sculptures made of pipes and motor parts! Inside the psychedelic/steampunk adventure continues in a labyrinth which guides you through to multiple stages. Feel free to check out the photos of the place (http://www.crossclub.cz/cs/interier/851-dolni-stage/)
Oddly enough, despite the variety of stuff which you can obtain inside (if you ask around) there is a police station just behind the corner.

Even though it is in the very city center, it is not so visible. It is a mixture of a pub and a wine bar which is a mini-labyrinth in the underground levels with a pleasant cave-like feeling.

A music club, art gallery, and, ocasionally, theatre/cinema. David Černý created the concept of this facility and uses it as his studio as well. (He also created the kinetic sculpture of Franz Kafka, the 2 peeing guys, or those huge crawling babies' statues at Kampa park next to the Charles Bridge.) It is a refurbished warehouse situated between the motorway and railroad tracks. You won't miss it - there are two life-size red cars nailed to the front side of the building.

The (positively) freaky part starts at the entrance where you charge a declining balance to a chip provided which you use to pay at the bar. The most of the bar is scarcely lit, there are also some candles present, a piano which you can play if you want, and has an overall rough underground rustical look and a dark feeling. Most of the bar is in '-1' and then there is a stage (which regularly hosts some local musicians, and I believe with no additional entrance fee) in the '-2' level but the audience can observe it from both levels. The owner is a real enthusiast who wants to keep the place as affordable, musically rich, and underground as possible.

Literally translated "A café which is looking for a name". Rustic interior, some retro pieces of furniture, great coffee (the blend being periodically changed), and they have a bar made of a single piece of wood (a log about 150 cm in diameter, and 4 meters in length).

This is a project putting together a café, a design clothes shop, and a space hosting various cultural events from time to time. It has the same owner as café "Kavárna co hledá jméno" so the coffee and atmosphere are similar. Rustic industrial feel is present, as it was built in a former manufactory hall.

In case you came by cab, or your public transportation ticket already expired, you can buy one from this tabacco/newspaper shop vendor next to the tram station (24hours ticket for 110 CZK/€4, works for trams, buses, and the metro).
