Prague: New Year’s Eve Pub Crawl & Shots Bar Club Entry

Prague: New Year’s Eve Pub Crawl & Shots Bar Club Entry offers an energetic way to see the best of Prague’s nightlife while ringing in the new year. For $114 per person, you get approximately five hours of drinking, dancing, and celebrating in some of the city’s most popular venues. The tour kicks off with a lively start at the Discover Prague Tours Office—where you’ll meet your guide—and includes a mix of classic Czech pub atmosphere, all-you-can-drink moments, and culminates at the famous Shots Club, a spot known for its vibrant party scene. With start times around 19:45 or 20:45, this experience is designed for those who want to make the most of New Year’s Eve without the hassle of lines or cover charges at each bar.

What we like most about this experience is the generous one-hour of unlimited drinks at the first venue, which really sets the tone for a festive night. It’s also thoughtfully planned to include entry to multiple clubs with a welcome shot at each—adding to the fun and making it a hassle-free night. Plus, the chance to dance into the early hours at the Shots Club, a well-known part of Prague’s nightlife, makes it a memorable way to celebrate.

A potential drawback is the possibility of high entrance charges at other venues, which this tour helps you avoid. However, if you leave the club early or want to return later, you’ll need to queue again, which could be a deterrent for some. This tour is best suited for social travelers who enjoy lively nightlife, want a cost-effective way to celebrate, and are comfortable with a flexible schedule that lets them come and go from the club as they please.

The Experience in Detail

Starting Point and Setting the Tone
The adventure begins at the Discover Prague Tours Office. Your guide, likely to be friendly and lively, will give you a quick rundown of the night ahead. From there, the party kicks off at your first stop, a pub where a full hour of unlimited drinks is on offer. This is a fantastic way to loosen up and get into the spirit of celebration without worrying about tabs piling up immediately. The fact that even bars that normally don’t charge big cover fees are included, with this special event, means you’ll get great value from the start.

The First Venue: Unlimited Drinks and a Welcome Shot
This initial experience is the highlight for many—a full hour of unlimited beer, wine, vodka, and champagne. It’s a rare treat on New Year’s Eve, as most places charge premium prices or have strict limits.

Moving from Bar to Bar
After the initial hour, the crawl continues across two more clubs. Each venue welcomes you with a shot on arrival, adding a festive touch and encouraging mingling. These venues vary in atmosphere but are chosen for their lively ambiance, perfect for celebrating a holiday that’s all about joy and dancing.

Celebrating at Shots Club
The grand finale is at the Shots Bar & Club—arguably Prague’s most iconic party spot for New Year’s. Here, you’ll get to celebrate the countdown, dance into the early hours, and soak up the electrifying energy of a Prague New Year’s Eve. Guests are free to come and go as they please, but they should be prepared for potentially long lines if they decide to re-enter later, which we consider an important tip for planning your night.

For $114, you’re getting a comprehensive experience—the initial hour of unlimited drinks, entry to multiple clubs, a guide to keep things smooth, and the memorable climax at Shots Club. It’s a straightforward package that offers great value, especially considering how costly cover charges and drinks can be at other venues on December 31st.
