Buddha Bar - Prague
The Buddha Bar is a world-wide restaurant and bar that prides itself on its world-renowned Buddha Bar music CD's. Explore the zen life in one of Prague's most chic restaurant/bar establishments. Drinks are pricy, and the staff looks like they should be on the front cover of GQ magazine. The upstairs bar overlooks a balcony of lamps that hover above an oversized Buddha. Live DJ's play deep house and lounge tracks throughout the week and during weekend brunch. The BB attracts a more mature crowd. This is a great place to pregame before the hardcore dance clubs.
Jakubská 8, Praha 1
Karlovy Lazne Club
Karlovy claims that it is the largest club in the EU. Once you enter its mysterious doors, you have five floor options to choose from. Each area features a different tone and atmosphere. Some floors play mainstream / hip-hop, where other floors play dance music. If you're not into dancing, find the 5th level chillout floor where you can sit cafe style at tables or on pillows atop of plush rugs. Ques are long and the crowd is younger. Many pub crawls dump their pack of drunken souls here. The club is near Charles Bridge.

Check the schedule to see what type of music will be featured for the night, though it mostly plays electronic.

Chapeu Rouge
Bar, dance club and underground get-togethers - the CR is a one-stop nightlife shop. The deeper you go, the darker the lights and the music. It's quirky, but not fancy. It's a place to sport your dancing shoes and skinny jeans to the vibration of the music. The entry level is the bar, the middle level is a dance club and the underground level is part bar / underground dance club. The underground level gets smoky and you may occassionally see a bag of drugs, but as long as you have your head on straight, it's a fun time.
