O'Che's
What seems like an
improbable combination of Irish
and Cuban themes actually works
a treat, with Sunday roasts and
Guinness on tap. When the
football's on, expect the bar to
be filled with a hooligan-free
crowd of locals, tourists and
expatriates. Unfortunately, the
fun stops at midnight.

Chapeau Rouge
The bar next to the Church
of St Jame
s (see p74)
has lost
some, but not all, of the
seediness that characterized its
previous incarnation, where the
motto was “the customer is
always wrong . Backpackers still
chat to each other up over
absinthe, however, and men in
the street will offer you hashish
on your way in. It may sound
unappealing, but it's a true
Prague experience.

Bugsy's
The kind of bar where you'll
find well-heeled septugenarian
gents with a girl on either arm.
Somewhat circus-like, but the
drinks are top notch. Sit at the
bar for the best service. The
under-dressed have been turned
away, so look smart.

Escape
If you like your drinks tall
and fruity, your bartenders chatty
and your disco music loud, this
is the cocktail bar for you.
Escape is popular with a bold
and beautiful crowd, all of whom
seem to know each other. Bring
a local celebrity magazine with
you and the likelihood is you'll be
able to identify some of them.

Alcohol Bar
A straightforward approach
to cocktails, as the name
suggests. The superior
circulation system, which is a
novelty in Prague, filters the
ubiquitous cigarette smoke from
the atmosphere. DJs play classic
rock and Motown tracks and the
kitchen serves small plates of
snacks for the peckish until 3am.
