Zlý Časy: Bad Times with Microbrews

“Where are you going?” “Nusle.” “Why the hell are you going to Nusle?  What’s there?” “Zlý Časy,” I told my friend last Thursday afternoon. “And if you like beer you’d be a fool not to join me.” Take the 11 or 18 to Náměstí Bratří Synků and walk 100 meters down Čestmírova. On the left [...]

Mixing it up: homemade sangria at the park

With the weather as spectacular as it is, the best place to go in the evening these days are the beer gardens and parks. It’s a great way to meet up with everyone, potentially run into new people, and usually make some interesting plans for once the sun sets. But if you’re tired of drinking [...]

Sophistication without the snobbery at U Staré Studny

I don’t know why you say goodbye… Kavárna Medůza will be back!

A dark gloom pervaded the office the other day when we found out Kavárna Medůza shut its doors on March 30.

It’s 3 Am – do you know where you are? Here’s how to get home.

One of the hardest parts about going out in Prague can be trying to figure out how to get home…  so I’ve put together a list of some ways you can try and plan how to get home after the regular public transportation closes… Night buses and trams: This is obviously the cheapest option after [...]

What’s up at M1 Lounge

To be completely honest, I’m not huge into clubbing. So I wasn’t sure how an interview with the owner of M1 Lounge at Masna 1  in Old Town was going to go, like whether I’d be able to be convincing as someone who could talk about clubs or whether I would come off as a [...]
