A Quick Look at what to Expect
If you’re looking to spice up your Saturday night in Prague’s historic Old Town, this experience might catch your eye. For just $9, you get a VIP seat at the chic Le Valmont Club & Lounge, a stylish French-themed bar with a speakeasy vibe, nestled right in the heart of Prague 1. The highlight is a live performance by talented local singer Anna Manzina, starting around 10:30 pm, with the option to arrive earlier for drinks and socializing. This experience lasts about two hours and offers a relaxed, cocktail-centered evening with a lively musical backdrop.
What we love about this experience is the exclusive seating—your VIP spot promises a good view of the stage—and the ambiance of Le Valmont, which combines old-school lounge decor with modern cocktails. It’s perfect for romantic date nights or anyone wanting an elegant, mellow evening with authentic local talent. The free coat check and multilingual hosts make the evening smoother, especially for travelers unfamiliar with Prague’s nightlife.
One consideration to keep in mind is that the performance may not be professional for everyone, as some reviews mention a less polished vibe, and disruptions from passersby. If you’re craving a high-energy concert or a more polished show, this might not be your ideal choice. But if you enjoy an intimate, stylish setting with good drinks and a local flavor, this experience could suit you well.
This tour is best suited for adults seeking a relaxed yet culturally engaging night out—those who appreciate good cocktails, cozy atmospheres, and live music, even if it’s not perfectly polished.

In-Depth Review
The Location and Atmosphere
Le Valmont is located in the bustling Prague 1 area, a prime spot for nightlife and cultural experiences. The bar’s French-inspired decor and speakeasy-style setting give it a distinctly retro, sophisticated vibe. As soon as you step inside, the dim lighting, vintage furniture, and jazz club aura set a tone that’s perfect for a relaxed, upscale night.
The Experience Itself
At its core, this experience is about live music, with a focus on showcasing local talent like Anna Manzina. Her performance begins around 10:30 pm, but the bar opens earlier, giving you time to settle in, order drinks, and soak up the ambiance. The VIP seats are reserved, promising a great view of the stage, which enhances the overall enjoyment—especially for those who love to watch musicians perform up close.
The Music and Performing Artists
While the highlight is the live performance, reviews indicate that the quality may vary. Some guests find the act less polished—a possible consequence of booking talented local performers rather than seasoned professionals. One reviewer noted that the performance “felt far from professional,” and there were disruptions from passersby from the club below. For some, this added a touch of unpredictability, but others might prefer a more seamless experience.
Drinks and Atmosphere
The cocktail menu is praised as one of the best in Prague, with skilled bartenders crafting drinks that match the stylish setting. The free coat check adds convenience, especially during the colder months. The two-hour show provides ample time to relax, chat, and enjoy the music without feeling rushed.
Cost and Value
For $9, this experience offers great value—you get a VIP seat, a lively local performance, and access to a highly rated bar in the heart of the city. Considering the usual cost of Prague nightlife, this is an affordable way to enjoy a sophisticated evening with live music. However, if you’re expecting a professional concert or a highly polished performance, you might find the experience slightly rough around the edges.
Review Insights
One reviewer summed up the mixed experience: “The ambiance was nice, but the overall experience was disappointing,” citing mediocre cocktails and less professional performances. Conversely, others mention the friendly staff, good drinks, and authentic local talent as highlights. This suggests that personal expectations and mood heavily influence how you might perceive the evening.
Who would love this?
This experience is best for adults who enjoy casual, stylish nights out with a local flavor. It’s perfect if you appreciate good cocktails, cozy atmospheres, and live music in a setting that’s more intimate than a large concert hall.
The Sum Up
Choosing to spend your Saturday night at Le Valmont with live music in Prague offers a blend of style and authenticity. You’ll get a well-located, cozy venue with great drinks and local talent, making it a fine choice for those seeking a laid-back yet lively atmosphere. The VIP seating ensures you’re not just another face in the crowd, but a guest enjoying a curated experience.
While the performance quality might vary and some guests have experienced disruptions, the overall ambiance and value are attractive. It’s particularly suitable for couples, small groups of friends, or solo travelers who want to soak in Prague’s nightlife without breaking the bank.
If you’re after a more polished concert experience, you might look elsewhere, but if you love the idea of authentic local performances in a stylish setting, this night out could become a memorable highlight of your trip.
