If you’re looking to experience Prague after dark, this Pub Crawl with Unlimited Drinks, Bars & Club Entry offers a lively way to do just that. For $36, you gain access to some of the city’s most popular venues, starting at the famed Drunken Monkey Sports Bar in Old Town and ending at one of Prague’s biggest and most energetic clubs. The experience typically lasts around two to three hours, depending on which group you choose — either the 7:45 PM pub crawl or the 10 PM pregame. It’s a chance to soak up Prague’s buzzing nightlife, mingle with fellow travelers, and enjoy a good dose of Czech beer and cocktails.
What we love about this pub crawl are two specific things: the open bar with unlimited drinks—which is rare and offers excellent value—and the skip-the-line entry to the final club that promises a hassle-free dance party. The guides are friendly and helpful, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable jumping into the fun. On the flip side, a potential consideration is that the venues can vary in vibe, and some reviews mention the initial bars can be pretty empty early on, which might not be everyone’s ideal scene. This experience is best suited for social travelers who want to meet new people and enjoy Prague’s lively spirit without worrying about the logistics of individual bar hopping.

Starting Point: The Drunken Monkey Sports Bar
The adventure begins at the Drunken Monkey, situated right in Old Town Prague, a lively hub for both locals and travelers. The check-in process is straightforward—just show your ticket, and you’re good to go. The bar itself is designed with a fun, sporty vibe, and it’s where the open bar kicks in from 7:45 to 9:45 pm for the early group, or 10 to 11 pm for the later one.
Here, you’ll enjoy unlimited beer, wine, mixed drinks, and vodka shooters for a full two hours, a real highlight for those wanting to indulge without breaking the bank. The tour guides, like Christian, are known for their friendly attitude—one reviewer noted, “The guy named Christian is too helpful, man… he took care of me when I went alone.” That kind of care makes a big difference, especially in a noisy, bustling environment.
The starting hour also features some fun activities like beer pong, flip-cup, and body shots, setting the tone for a party atmosphere. We loved the way these games break the ice and generate camaraderie early on.
First Venue: The Transition to Prague’s Local Bars
After the initial drinks and games, the guides lead you to the first bar, which is chosen to give you a taste of Prague’s authentic night scene. At this point, it’s mostly a self-guided visit, but each venue provides a welcome shot—a small but appreciated gesture that keeps the energy flowing.
Authenticity is key here. Some reviews mention that the venues can be a bit quiet at first, with one traveler describing the initial pubs as “pretty empty,” but they tend to fill up quickly as the night progresses. Each bar has its own vibe, from casual local hangouts to more lively spots, ensuring you’ll get a varied feel of Prague’s nightlife.
The Middle Stops: Dynamic Venues with Unique Flavors
The tour typically visits 3-4 different bars, each offering different atmospheres. The diversity is a plus because it keeps the night interesting—some are more relaxed, perfect for chatting, while others are lively enough for dancing or singing along with live music.
Based on reviews, the bar staff are friendly, and the welcome shots help to keep the mood festive. The guided aspect ensures safety and helps with navigating the often crowded venues. Also, many venues broadcast sports on big TVs, which is a bonus if you’re a sports fan looking for that authentic vibe.

The highlight is reaching one of Prague’s biggest clubs, where you’ll use a voucher to skip the queue. This is particularly valuable if you’ve been to other nightlife scenes in Europe—waiting in line can kill the momentum of a good night.
In the club, the music is loud, the crowd is enthusiastic, and there’s often live music. This closing act turns the evening into a true dance party. Many travelers find this part the most memorable, especially since they don’t have to worry about entry or small talk with bouncers.

Balancing the Experience
While the tour offers great value for the money, it’s worth noting that some reviews point out the initial venues can be underwhelming—one called the first place “a tragedy,” likening it to a “village fire station” with mostly drunk patrons. Others have found the pub selection to be changed from what’s advertised, sometimes replaced with inferior spots. This suggests that, like many guided pub crawls, the experience can vary depending on the night and the guide’s choices.
Plus, the tour does not include shots at the club or goodies, and due to city regulations, the guide cannot lead the pub crawl beyond 10 pm, which might impact those expecting a continuous guided experience late into the night.
Who Should Consider This Tour?
This pub crawl is perfect for young travelers or party enthusiasts wanting an easy way to experience Prague’s nightlife without the hassle of planning individual venues. It’s also suited to those who appreciate friendly guides, fun games, and the chance to meet international travelers. If you’re after a more authentic, local experience, you may want to explore some venues on your own, but if you’re looking for a lively, social group vibe, this tour hits the mark.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
This pub crawl delivers a fun, lively night in Prague, especially if you value unlimited drinks and skip-the-line access to a big club. The guides are praised for their helpfulness, and the variety of venues adds a nice touch of diversity. For $36, the tour offers a great deal, especially considering the included drinks and entry.
However, it’s not a ‘night in the best-known pubs’ tour—some venues can be quiet or filled with very young crowds, and the experience can vary night to night. If you’re a social traveler who wants a hassle-free way to see Prague’s nightlife, it’s hard to beat. But if you prefer more curated, authentic local experiences, you might want to explore some venues on your own after the crawl.
In all, for fun-loving, social travelers looking for a safe, efficient, and energetic way to enjoy Prague’s nightlife on a budget, this pub crawl is a solid choice.
