Gay Bars in Prague

A Vinohrady institution since 1996, and still going. Cosy local gay bar with a long drinks menu, happy hour until 7pm, weekly drag shows, bingo nights, and a crowd that spans generations.

Saints is the essential English-friendly bar in Prague's Vinohrady gay quarter — a compact, warmly-lit space on Polská with an international staff who know the city's scene inside out. The clientele is a warm mix of expats, tourists, and Czech locals; there's a monthly trivia night, regular parties, and a shelf of gay magazines if you just want to sit quietly. An ideal first stop if you're new to Prague, or the kind of reliable local bar you quickly come to depend on.

Drake's Club is Prague's long-running gay cruising bar — a venue in Smíchov open around the clock, seven days a week. The club features a large dungeon area with a maze and darkroom that fills up on weekends with themed parties and strip shows. It's not a subtle venue, but it's competently run with a long-established clientele. If you're specifically looking for a cruising-oriented space in Prague, Drake's is the standard reference point.

Prague's longest-running gay bar — a no-frills Czech pub near Wenceslas Square with cheap beer on tap, a jukebox, an aquarium, and a crowd of mostly local regulars.

A gay café-bar in Prague’s Old Town that does double duty — coffee and all-day breakfast by day, cocktails and a basement dance floor by night. Open from 11am, welcoming to everyone.

Bar on Balbínova in Prague's Vinohrady district, open late Wednesday through Saturday nights.

Klub 21 is a compact, no-fuss gay bar on Rimská in Vinohrady — the kind of small local venue that fills its single room with regulars and does exactly what it promises without any pretension. Drinks are priced for a neighbourhood crowd, the music is background rather than dancefloor, and the atmosphere is easy and unhurried. It works best late in the evening when the area is out and in relaxed mood. A good unpretentious spot to find yourself after dinner and before Termix.
