There is no shortage of life
in Prague, the city is buzzing every night and day for that matter
with all sorts of entertainment, every one and their grandmother is
out to grab your buck.
From medieval torture chambers to flash and brash nightclubs. There's
opera, theater, boat cruises, karaoke, bands and blands and if you
look really hard you will probably find donkey rides and candy floss
(for the Brits out there).
Sex is also big business, I will keep this clean as it's not rated
but you can probably find whatever takes your fantasy, it's not quite
Bankok but it is supposed to be quite liberal for Europe (not that
I'd know anyway). I hate to say it but I was taken to a very good
transvestite cabaret by my other half (GIRLFRIEND that is) and although
I don't speak or for that matter even understand the language I was
quite surprised (and worried) how realistic they all were and funny
it all was.
Anyway on with the normal stuff; theater, opera and classical concerts
are big here, there is always Mozart this and Vivaldi that (sorry
I know no opera or theater names but I'm sure I will soon), as you
walk the streets (not that I'm a street walker) you are constantly
harassed by people handing out fliers (if you want to miss out on
this wear a tie and carry a large envelope) advertising this concert
and that show. I think if you had time to see them all you would be
here all year. But you get the idea there is plenty to do and no time
to do it all. but if nothing else go to a Pivnice and have Pilsner
and beer cheese. |

Now this is the really interesting part
of this page; Bar's, Pubs, Clubs etc are excellent firstly alcohol
is
CHEAP !!!!!!
you can get absolutely legless for a fiver or for you Americans
$10 (I no but it's my exchange rate). Beer costs about 50 pence
a half litre if not less and a bottle of Czech shampers will set
you back less than £3. I went to a club on New Years eve and
I paid £2.50 for a bottle so I had to do the only respectable
thing and go home.
There is not a great selection of beers in the pubs however most
tend to have a wide selection of spirits, probably something t do
with being tied to a particular brewery. Ther a two so far that
stick out for me one is U Flecku and is very much on the tourist
map, they brew their own beer which is very strong. You can sit
in the courtyard and listen to traditional Czech bands, you don't
have to ask for beer the waiters walk round with trays full and
give it out like it's going out of fashion.
The other pub is a traditional Czech pivonice called U Rudolfa and
is situated near Charles bridge, it is always full of Czech's (so
it must be good) they serve Pilsner Urquell and you can pick you
traditional pub meals ands snacks, I would suggest trying the beer
cheese it might smell like cowsh_t and make you pass wind but it
tastes good which is the main thing in a city that should be called
the windy city.
