If you're wanting to check out Prague's gay scene, then this fun and funky dance club in the Vinohrady district is where to start. The first thing you see on entering the long underground bar is a full size Communist Skoda car hanging from the wall. Underneath it is a dancefloor pulsating to the sounds of club hits and Czech songs mashed up. Imagine Madonnas 'Like a Virgin' sung in Czech language, and you get the picture. Wednesday nights are the best, as many locals are in then. Well worth checking out.

I'm not a big clubber but this place has to be seen to be believed. It's located in a rundown old tenement in the suburbs of Prague. When you arrive you're confronted with an entrance that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie - all shiny metal and whirling cogs. Inside some mad inventor has been at work, creating the most imaginitive interior I've ever seen using old junk. Moving mechanics, old seats from public transport and strange light shows are the order of the day. It's a visual spectacle and a half. My favourite bit is the lights made out of old lemon squeezers.

Cheesy bar, very famous, but there's few better places to drink in Europe, let alone Prague.
Novotneho Lavka 1, Old Town, Prague 1
A great concert venue that often hosts art exhibitions and varied leftfield dance nights in the underground bars. Look out for the missing brick in the wall which reveals 3 dead bodies under the stairs!

In a thriving night scene, beware ��� according to taste ��� the ubiquitous sex, stag, and hen clubs. For a more sedate, but atmospheric taste of bohemian Prague nightlife, try the AghaRTA jazz club in the city centre where local musicians hang out most nights of the week.
