Prague: Pub Crawl with 2-Hour Open Bar at Drunken Monkey

Imagine spending an evening with a lively crowd of fellow travelers and locals, hopping between 3 to 4 of Prague’s best-known party spots. This pub crawl experience is centered around the Drunken Monkey, where you’ll enjoy a two-hour open bar featuring unlimited beer, wine, mixed drinks, vodka shooters, and even absinthe. The night continues with visits to a handful of handpicked bars and clubs, ending with VIP access to a top Prague nightclub.

What we love about this experience is the social atmosphere and the well-organized route that avoids the common touristy pitfalls. The guides, like Vinci as mentioned in reviews, are friendly, knowledgeable, and committed to making sure everyone has a good time — and, importantly, stays safe. The drinking games such as beer pong, flip cup, and giant Jenga add a fun, interactive element that keeps the energy high.

A possible consideration for travelers is the timing of the open bar and the adherence to local noise and alcohol regulations. The activity ends around 11 p.m. at the Drunken Monkey and then transitions to a self-guided route, which might be less structured for some.

This tour suits young travelers, party-seekers, and those eager to meet international friends in Prague’s vibrant nightlife scene. If you enjoy lively social settings, engaging guides, and a good mix of bars and clubs, you’ll find this pub crawl well worth your evening.
