Clubs
Radost
Prague's most chic disco
pushes the limits with parties so
hedonistic you wonder if there
isn't a law against them. Hip-
hop, funk and disco are the
prevalent flavours on the dance
floor. The vegetarian café
upstairs is open until 4am.
During peak lunch and dinner
hours, it can be very hard to find
a seat
(see p111)
.
Palác Akropolis
In addition to being at the
heart of Prague's indie and
world-music scene, the Akropolis
hosts the likes of Ani Difranco,
Apollo 440 and Transglobal
Underground. The small, smoky
Divadelní bar is the hippest,
hosting Prague's best DJs. On
the ground floor level is a café
and Czech restaurant. On a more
cultural note, this is also the best
venue in town to hear
contemporary Romany music
from such local acts as Alom or
V∂ra Bílá and Kale.

Roxy
This gritty former cinema is
a must for fans of jungle and
dub. The parties continue well
into the morning, much to the
dismay of the Roxy's neighbours.
Such live acts as the Asian Dub
Foundation take the stage when
it's not occupied by DJs or the
occasional experimental theatre
production. A portion of Roxy's
proceeds goes towards funding
the Linhart Foundation, a non-
profit organization whose aim is
to promote contemporary art.

Industry 55
The cover charge at this
sleek new club in Vinohrady does
not deter customers - it is all the
rage among a fashionable young,
energy drink-guzzling crowd. As
a bonus, the dance parties, at
which up-and-coming DJs
feverishly spin house music,
have lower entrance charges
than those downtown.

Guru
Δi≈kov's newest
club resounds with
dub and reggae most
nights, while tough
kids in jeans and
hooded sweatshirts
shuffle to the music
or huddle over joints
of marijuana. This is
the best venue if you
want to hear home-
