Drinks
So, the Czech Republic is well-known for its drinking traditions and drinks that originated there. Here are a few traditional Czech drinks (they guarantee a good time and, possibly, a hangover).
Beherovka
Beherovka is a delicious, traditional herbal liqueur. It has a rich flavour that makes it perfect to either drink as it is or mixed. The beverage is produced in Karlovy Vary, the Czech Republic by the Jan Becher company. It is made from a secret recipe based on more than twenty types of herbs and spices. It’s great served as a frozen shot, or with tonic water.
Fernet
One of the most famous and popular spirits is the bitter herb-based Fernet Stock. This bitter liqueur is often compared to Jägermeister, as it has a similarly herbal flavor. It is usually consumed straight up in a shot, but can also be mixed with tonic water and served over ice (this is called a Bavorák).
Slivovice
Slivovice is Czech for plum brandy. It is widely produced in a Moravian district. As plums are not the only fruit grown in Moravia, you will likely also encounter variations on slivovice based on other fruit, for example: hrušovice from pears, merunkovice from apricots or broskovice from peaches to name a few.
If you are not the drinking sort (wink-wink), then you can test your luck and try to find something to smoke.
Where and how to find weed
Weed in Prague is decriminalized and somewhat available for purchase. However, you can’t buy it in just a grocery store.
“A beer and an ounce” that’s a go-to phrase for you guys looking to score.
And here is a very bud-smoking friendly place.
U sudu
Vodičhkova 677/10
A basement bar with an interesting decor and open-minded attitude.
A few tips
Don’t trust street vendors, unless you want to smoke some oregano or other herbs (not the ones you are looking for) and they will probably rip you off.
Be subtle because, nobody likes a noisy ill-mannered tourist, be nice and chill.
The chances are you can find something, or at least someone willing to help you in gentlemen’s clubs, which we talk about next.
Gentlemen’s clubs
Neon Club
Balbinova 21
This is a 3-story club, with first floor being a stripclub with a twist, so to say, a wide selection of sex toys is available there, so you can get imaginative there.
The second floor is a stripbar in more traditional sense: grab a drink and enjoy the show.
And the third floor is a proper sports bar, so you can catch a game there.
Sexy Sauna Club
Ve Smečkách 19
Well, that’s not a strip club, but a place definitely worth coming to, especially if you are exhausted after a full day of networking, masseuses there will make sure that you relax there.
Also you can find a small cinema, with a very particular repertoire and VIP room, you can have a proper meal there and they offer free transportation for the customers.
Darling Cabaret
Ve Smečkách 32
One of the biggest and most popular adult clubs in town is Darling Cabaret.
This place is all about shows and entertainment, and they offer limos for those willing to come!
So, you are relaxed and rested, now it’s time to hit the clubs!
Nightclubs
Lucerna Music Bar
Vodičkova 36
The club with retro atmosphere for 80s music lovers. Aside from disco nights, it also hosts musical concerts of prominent Czech and foreign bands. This place is known historically for its Jazz festivals. For example, Louis Armstrong visited their Jazz Festival in 1964.
Chapeau Rouge
Jakubská 2
Bar, nightclub & live music venue spread over 3 floors with a lineup of international artists. It is a place in the city centre which dates back to 1919. Music shows often take place in all three floors at once, and it’s not unusual to be listening to funk in the bar area, to modern house on the floor below and to indie rock 7 meters underground. Shows usually end up in the early morning. If you go to the lowest floor you just may find a guy from whom you can purchase some marijuana.
Roxy
Dlouhá 33
The club’s interior features unique art and colourful decor. A cafe, gallery and theatre NoD also operate on the first floor in symbiosis with the ROXY — a truly multidimensional place which transforms into many shapes.
Food
If you are a foodie, than it would be a shame not to try what local cuisine has to offer.
Palačinky
These pancakes are typically rolled up and served with fillings such as jam, fruit, cream or nuts. Also, there are also available stuffings of cheese, meat and spinach. So it can be either a dessert or a meal.
Trdelník
These pastries are Transylvanian and Slovakian in origin but commonly found around Central and Eastern Europe in countries such as Hungary, Austria, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
The trdelník is usually served warm and topped with a dusting of sugar, nuts or cinnamon. This dish is made by wrapping the pastry around a stick and roasting it over an open flame until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender and gooey in the middle. After that, it is coated with sugar or cinnamon.
Vepřo-knedlo-zelo
The entree is made of pork roasted in onion and caraway gravy and served with stewed cabbage and bread dumplings.
Casinos
If you are looking to test your luck and have a good time than you can visit a casino, here’s a few.

Field

A fun neighbourhood eatery that uses organic meat from the owner’s butcher’s shop. Dishes have an Asian base and could include the likes of soft shell crab sliders or dry sweet pork with coconut rice and papaya; at dinner, they serve a 6 course tasting menu. Some tables are for sharing.
