Prague Nightlife

Prague has a bar or club for every type of person. As I sit here I do not know where to start.




My first night in Prague, I went on the "backpacker's pub crawl," which was recommended to me by a friend. From 9pm to 11pm you get an open bar at the Drunken monkey, and then from there you get taken to two or three different bars/clubs, where you are given free entry, a free shot, and a free beer. I got to the drunken money at about 9:15pm after getting a little lost. It was rather empty when I got there, maybe ten other people. I quickly learned the idea behind the pubcrawl. They wanted to get us drunk as could be, so we would spend money freely. I go to the bar, and get a beer, and with out even asking for it the bartender puts two shots in front of me. Not to be a poor sport, I downed both quickly. They were vodka and apple juice. Not the best I will say, especially considering the vokda was of very low quality. At about 7 beers into the night, the Drunken money was now filled with people from all over the world. I beat a Brit in beer pong, and had a Americas vs. Europe flipcup game. My teammates were another US college student and two guys from Brazil, and yes we won. After two hours in the drunken monkey it is safe to say the name of the bar could be used to describe many of us walking out of the bar to start the crawl. We were like cattle being herded through the streets of Prague. The organizers had 3 people escorting the group of approx 80 people. One in the front, one in the middle and one at the end catching the stragglers.  I could only imagine what these 3 people deal with on a nightly basis. I would not be a job I want, that is for sure. The rest of the night was similar to the beginning. It included lots of drinking, lots of laughter, and even had some dancing. (I am not sure how some of these people were able to dance, when they could not walk) I met many people on this pubcrawl, including a large group that are also staying in Innsbruck. They are with a program run through University of New Orleans. Needless to say, the 20 or so people I met, all knew eachother, Needless to say I could not even if sober remember all their names. I have run into some of the girls back here in Innsbruck since, and I know their faces but not names. Good thing I can get away with using the words Darlin and Honey!!! At a certain point the fun did come to an end. When the truth or dare jenga game started, I took it as my cue to leave. I got into bed at 6:30 am

How to describe night number 2....The only word that comes to mind is INTENSE. I went to the biggest club in Eastern Europe. It is called the 5 story club, logically because it has five stories. On each floor a different style of music was played, and on each floor there were multiple bars. I would be afraid to know how many people were in this club. When I went, it was about 2am, and the club was filled. Beautiful women everywhere, dancing the night away. The drinks were moderately priced, and the women I met were eager to meet Americans. With in a few ten mins. of being there I had met a group of friends, 2 blonds and a brunette. I only name I do remember was Julie. I am pretty sure her name was something more "Russian" sounding but that was the american version. Her and I hit it off immediately, and I had enough liquid courage in me that I danced the night away til the sun was rising. Surrounded by a few hundred other people, the 3rd story dance floor was steaming hot. Jule and I danced, and drank til 5:30 am. At that point we both were exhausted, and ready to call it a night. She said good bye to her friends, and we left the club, going right and walking along the river. At this point the sun was starting to rise, so we found a cab and took off. This happened on my second night in Prague, and boy was it an amazing morning.
