REDUTA JAZZ CLUB
9pm-3am;
;
Národní Třída)
The Reduta is Prague's oldest jazz club, founded in
1958 during the communist era - it was here in 1994 that former US president Bill
Clinton famously jammed on a new saxophone presented to him by Václav Havel. It
has an intimate setting, with smartly dressed patrons squeezing into tiered seats and
lounges to soak up the big-band, swing and Dixieland atmosphere.

ROCK CAFÉ
Mon-Fri, 5pm-3am Sat, 5pm-1am Sun; Národní Třída)
Not to be confused with the Hard
Rock Café, this multifunction club is the offspring of the influential Nový Horizont
art movement of the 1990s. It sports a stage for DJs and live rock bands, a funkily
decorated 'rock cafe', a cinema, a theatre, an art gallery and a CD shop.
Live bands are mostly local, ranging from nu-metal to folk rock to Doors and Sex
Pistols tribute bands. Music from 7.30pm.
LUCERNA MUSIC BAR
8pm-4am; 3, 9, 14, 24)
Nostalgia reigns supreme at this atmospheric old theatre,
now looking a little dog-eared, with anything from Beatles tribute bands to mainly
Czech artists playing jazz, blues, pop, rock and more on midweek nights. But the
most popular event is the regular 1980s and '90s video party held every Friday and
Saturday night, which pulls in huge crowds of young locals bopping along to Duran
Duran and Gary Numan.
