Prague: Jazz Show with Signature Cocktail

Prague: Jazz Show with Signature Cocktail

Imagine spending an unforgettable evening in Prague, where the city’s lively charm meets the soulful sounds of live jazz. This tour offers just that—a three-hour musical journey in a cozy underground venue right in the heart of the city. Hosted by Old lady’s s.r.o., the experience combines the pleasure of high-quality live performances with the intimacy of a small, friendly setting, making it a great choice for lovers of jazz or anyone seeking an authentic local experience.

We particularly love how the venue, Jazz & Cocktail Club U Staré Paní, evokes the early days of American jazz clubs, offering a nostalgic yet lively atmosphere. The complimentary signature cocktail—crafted with fine spirits and including a traditional Becherovka-laced option—adds a special touch that elevates the night. We also appreciate the personal reservation system that guarantees seating, a thoughtful feature during busy evenings.

On the flip side, a potential consideration is that food and additional drinks are not included, so if you’re looking for a full dinner experience, you’ll need to plan separately. Still, this tour suits those who want a relaxed, high-quality jazz night with a touch of local flavor—ideal for couples, small groups, or solo travelers eager to enjoy Prague’s vibrant musical scene in an intimate setting.

A Detailed Look at the Prague Jazz Show Experience

The Venue: Jazz & Cocktail Club U Staré Paní

The setting alone is worth the trip. Hidden beneath the Hotel U Staré Paní, the club’s underground location gives it a speakeasy feel—intimate, slightly secretive, and perfect for a relaxed evening.

The club’s environment is designed for close-up experiences. Unlike larger concert halls, here you’re positioned near the band, which amplifies the sense of being part of the music. This intimacy is a significant part of what makes the show so engaging.

The Program: Live Jazz, Swing, Groove, and Funk

Each night offers a different lineup, so it’s worth checking the club’s website before you go to see what’s on. The performances aren’t limited to traditional jazz; they span swing, groove, and funk, ensuring there’s something for every ear. The reviews highlight that the musicians are Prague’s best, bringing passion and skill to each set.

The shows generally start around 8 or 9 pm, with the venue opening at 6 pm—giving you enough time to settle in and maybe enjoy a drink before the music begins. The variety of styles means you might catch an upbeat swing set or a soulful groove, creating a relaxed but lively atmosphere.
