Jazz Café ≤.14
Popular with an artsy
student crowd that seems
determined to blot out the lamp
light with cigarette smoke.
Otherwise, a comfortable retreat
for sipping coffee or cheap wine.

Zvona∫ka
Tucked into a residential
neighbourhood is one of the
city's less hectic nightspots. Good
food and drink. Summer guests
can enjoy the view from the
large patio.

Bar 23
The wooden door looks a bit
suspect, but inside is a welcom-
ing beer-and-a-shot neighbour-
hood bar. A good place to practise
the intricate rituals of absinthe
drinking.

Solidní nejistota
This grill bar is extremely
popular among yuppies on the
make. Guests compete for space
on the miniscule dance floor
while DJs play pop music.

Café Louvre
Franz Kafka, Max Brod and
their writer friends used to hold
court here. It's a bright, cheerful
place, good for conversation and
a bite to eat. At the back is
Prague's classiest pool hall.

Lucerna
The granddaddy of Prague's
clubs, the cavernous Lucerna
hosts live jazz as well as rock
and dance parties, including the
ever popular Eighties night
(see
p67)
.
Ultramarin
The ground floor is a simple,
convivial bar and restaurant.
After you've had your fill, you'll
find a music club downstairs,
where you can dance. Open until
4am.

Ostrovní 32 • Map E4
N11
Billed as Prague's first New
York nightclub, N11 combines a
sleek discotheque with good
pub-style dining. Open until the
early hours of the morning.
Strangely, journalists and medical
staff receive a 10 per cent
discount - the club's owner is
both.

Národni 11 • Map E5
Billiard centrum v Cípu
Close to 100 billiard, pool
and snooker tables, plus four
lanes of bowling and two table-
tennis sets. Don't go on Friday or
Saturday without making a
reservation first. The bar serves
drinks, but no food.
