The Ultimate Prague Stag Do Guide 2023

Holding the title of ‘the most famous venue’ in Prague’s Old Town, Karlovy Lazne (try saying that after a few Pilsners) is the largest club in Europe. Spanning five floors with many different rooms, this place is sure to disorientate as much as it thrills you – with rooms such as Kaleidoscope, Chill Out – the ultimate ‘zen’ - Disco Room and Music Café to its name. The seriously popular Paradogs Club, moonlighting as a 90s rave, is certainly worth a stop off – it’s all about techno, house and rave, with the biggest crowd this side of town. If this isn’t enough for you and your pack, there’s even an Ice Pub underneath it.

You’re the man, the man with the Midas touch… and you’re about to find out exactly how that feels on your Prague stag do. The biggest and best strip club in Prague will transform you into James Bond as soon as you walk down those iconic steps and through its doors. Goldfingers is one of the most extravagant and luxurious strip clubs in the city, with beautiful girls performing individual and group acts including acrobatic dances, as well as striptease and classic cabaret shows such as Can-Can and Moulin Rouge themed acts. With years and years of experience in dealing with stag dos, Goldfingers know exactly what stags want - enticing them with the likes of body painting and even jelly wrestling and the even a stag stitch up. We don’t want to spoil the fun, but where less reputable strip clubs may entice you in with promoters and cheap drinks offers, some are known for having shady and even dangerous reputations. Just remember, all that glitters is not gold, except in Goldfingers…

Not your average local, The Pub is a laid back, no frills, self-service bar. The dream? Too right. You and your mates will have a pump with four spouts on your table, where you can dispense Pilsner at the exact rate you drink it. There’s even a handy computer to log in and keep a check of how much beer you’ve drank – and, not that it’s a competition (it is…), but you’ll be competing against the surrounding tables, as well as everyone else in one of The Pub chains, to see who can drink the most. Once you’ve successfully pipped the competition to the Pilsner post, you can relax out on the terrace and soak up the fresh air. Just wait ‘til that beer hits.

If you love your music, this underground bar and music club is a labyrinth of sell-out DJs, guilty pleasure chart toppers and all-night pole dancing. Boasting pocket friendly drinks aplenty, you can showcase your finest dance moves to the 80s, 90s and 00s hits pumping through the building. If the music isn’t enough to have you fighting to get through the doors, there’s the world-renowned eight man Mojito to tackle. Good luck, lads.

Located, as the name would suggest, in the buzzing Wenceslas Square, Nebe is everything you ever dreamed of for your stag weekend. Set across two bustling floors, hundreds of stag and hen groups flock to Nebe each weekend to let loose on the dancefloors and take advantage of the epic drinks offers. You’ll be pleased to hear that Staropramen is served on tap and, as if you needed any more reason to love Nebe, the club is open until 5am – plenty of time to sample the local pilsner. Nebe’s signature (and pretty potent) cocktails start at 59Kc (that’s a budget friendly £1.80 to us).

Located in Prague Old Town, Hangar Bar is based around the iconic Pan Am airline, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare for take-off. This unique drinking experience has the body of a clipper aircraft in the centre of the dancefloor and all of the hostesses are in classic air stewardess’ uniforms. We reckon you’ll love the in-house ‘Pilot’s Lounge’, with a nod to 1950s pilot’s hangouts, where you can let loose as they would have, after a long flight. The basement bar is also a must for any visiting stag group, with bartenders putting on shows and stunts for the awe-struck passengers, er, we mean customers.

As much as we love soaking up local culture when we go abroad, there’s something about the sweet tones of an Irish bar that just lure us in, every single time. One of the most popular is Rocky O’Reilly’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, which transports punters from the cobbled streets of Prague, straight to The Emerald Isle itself. Rocky O’Reilly is one of us – loving live sports, including GAA, along with gallons of booze and a good bit of craic. With two bars to his name, both reminiscent of a cosy, Temple Bar-esque pub, your glass will never run dry in his cheeky Irish haunt. The traditional Irish pub grub will put the wind back in your sails the morning after, too.

Nestled in a corner of a little square in Prague’s picturesque Old Town, you’d be forgiven for dismissing this in your drunken beer haze. But, let us be the first to tell you that if you do happen to stumble into this little gem, you won’t regret it. This trendy bar is the full package, with beautiful girls dancing on the bar (Coyote Ugly style) and a huge drinks menu to match its DJ set list. If you like the idea of overly friendly bar staff pouring spirits down your throats from behind, you’ll love it here. As an added bonus, it sells the International award winning, traditional Czech lager, Budvar, for the equivalent of a quid. Bottoms up…

This premium bar and club is pure luxury and ideal for a sophisticated stag do sesh. So upmarket, in fact, that it’s seen the likes of Elijah Wood, Mat Damon and even Coolio cross its red rope (not together, although that would be some party…). Located just off the Old Town Square, you’ll have plenty of venues enticing you in, but not many are open ‘til 6am like M1. Plus, not that it likes to brag, but M1 attracts the hottest local girls and has an extensive portfolio of international DJs, and there’s even VIP areas scattered around the bar area, where you can embrace your inner James Bonds.

If it’s good enough for Mick Jagger’s 60th birthday celebrations, it’s good enough for us. Duplex is a massive, glass cube bar, perched on top of a building which overlooks Prague’s a New Town. When it comes to sleek, modern and classy, you needn’t look any further than Duplex. It’s so exclusive, that it’s been awarded membership to the World’s Finest Bars website and boasts the likes of Tiesto, selling out sets on a weekday (school nights mean nothing in Prague). The terrace is out of this world, where you can experience the finest views of the city’s skyline with a premium drink in hand – heaven.

A universal meeting place, landmark and historical time piece, the 15th century Astronomical Clock, is located in Prague’s Old Town (you’ll stumble past it more times than you realise on a night out in Prague). Each hour, the famous clock springs into action, as the 12 Apostles and other figures parade in procession around the clock’s face – telling you to head to the next bar...

Boasting 32 unique points of interest along its 520 metre span, including statues of famous Emperors, Charles Bridge is a must see when visiting Prague. Built in 1357, it’s still to this day one of the most recognisable bridges in Europe. It links nightlife hotspots such as the Old Town and New Town with landmarks like Prague Castle and the KGB Museum.

Standing proud since the 1980s, the Lennon Wall is a tribute to former Beatle and peace campaigner, John Lennon. Near Charles Bridge, the wall has become a site for fans to demonstrate their grief in graffiti (and a class photo opportunity to prove you did something a little bit cultural amidst all the Pilsner).

Home to the Astronomical Clock, along with numerous ancient churches, the Old Town Hall with its Gothic doorway and architecture dating back as far as the 11th century – you can’t visit Prague without ticking this one off your list. Plus, it’s a popular meeting spot in the city, so if you get separated from your group, this would be a good place to head.

Constructed in 1912, the palatial Municipal House is considered to be the very finest example of Art Nouveau in Prague (you didn’t think you’d be getting stuck into this on your stag do, did you?). Its features include a decorative facade, quirky murals and an impressive dome structure. Even if you just pass by whilst you’re bar hopping, you can take a quick selfie to prove you are a culture vulture after all.

Within the city’s historic central walls, the Roman Catholic St. Vitus Cathedral is the Czech Republic’s largest and most important Christian church. It’s also the final resting place of many Bohemian kings and saints (you’re not the only royalty in Prague this weekend). It’s on the western side of the river – remember, you’ll be spending all of your time on the eastern side in the Old and New Town’s best drinking spots – but you’ll pass it on your way in from the airport.

Just north of the Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter was previously regarded as a slum-come-ghetto. But, in the late 1800s, large sections were demolished or refurbished to make way for modern and stylish Art Nouveau buildings. Today, there are also lots of restaurants and bars in this quarter of the city, where you can start a night before heading to the traditional bars and super clubs.

Located within the Jewish Quarter, Prague Jewish Museum is a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the area – boasting 40,000 Jewish objects and 100,000 Jewish books. And, you’ll be happy to hear, it’s also slap bang in the middle of a huge amount of popular bars, including Hangar Bar and The Pub, where you can pour your own pints.

Known as the ‘City of a Thousand Spires’, Prague Castle is exactly like you’d imagine. Close to St. Vitus Cathedral, you’ll probably just see this on the way to and from the airport. However, if you do want to take the trip across Charles Bridge to see it up close and personal, it’s a great way to spend a hangover day doing something productive.

Although not typically somewhere you’d expect to find a stag group, The Strahov Monastery and Library is seriously impressive. Plus, it’s just over the river from Prague’s Old Town – meaning you can tick the culture box on a slight bar crawl detour – result. The two decorated Baroque libraries have ornate painted ceilings, along with super fancy stuccowork.
