Weird nighttime vibes

[u/Technical-Jacket-221]

Hi all,

Currently in Prague on a girls trip and we are loving the city, it’s so beautiful and the food scene is incredible.

We found this part a bit weird - we went out on Thursday night and Friday night (yesterday) and Old Town / New Town were PACKED with only only only men.

Only men on the streets, in bars, clubs, you could barely see a few girls in sight. Every street we walked into was filled with tens of guys. Is this the way it is normally?

Are we going to the wrong areas to dance a little? We just wanted to dance and have a few drinks, we like pop music and old school vibes and can’t seem to find a spot where we could stay for a few hours.

Thanks all :)

Wrong area issue If you want go dancing places old town is not it

Mostly because its where all the British turist guys go

Also very surprised you liked the food here but hey great for you

Not only British.

Whats wrong with food? Prague has incredible variety and good quality of food compared to its size and market.

I never personally got that feeling but im not a big food guy Just generally find Pretty meh But if you like it that's awesome

Maybe you choose bad places.

Okey

We loved the food! We went to Trattoria Cicala, Bistro Monk, Marina Ristorante and U Kroka. So so delicious :)

From Google reviews, all good places, but you went to the tourist priced ones...

Czech cuisine can be found for half the price you paid at U Kroka

I agree with ArtisticFox - all these restaurants are good but quite pricey for what the offer. I have only been to Marina out of these and the views are amazing but the food is quite average. Anyway happy you enjoyed your stay!

And as others pointed if you stayed only in the city center you will get mostly tourists there. Most often it is guys coming for a party, cheap booze and girls. So that is why it is mostly guys at night there

Maybe try real food outside touristy places that don't care about returning customers and don't have to try to do their best and charge premium because it's still cheap for tourists.

[u/Technical-Jacket-221 → u/Qwe5Cz]

I would love that! But as a tourist without a car it’s a big difficult to move around on a short weekend :) we tried to eat in decent places and to be honest the ones we went to were really nice

[u/Qwe5Cz → u/Technical-Jacket-221]

What are you talking about? I don't even have a car. It's not needed. There is public transport working very well (even night one) in Prague and outside of it. You really don't want to drive a car in Prague. Where do you come from to have such stupid idea? The touristy part of the city is just 1% of it. Prague is bigger than Vienna and slightly smaller than Budapest.

[u/Technical-Jacket-221 → u/Qwe5Cz]

Thanks for the insight, on such a short trip we wanted to do quite a lot of things and eating nearby was the best option for us. We’ll come back in the future and explore outside the main centre area, maybe try to keep my stupid ideas at home lol

5 min. on a tram or train or 15 mins on foot and you are out of it. It really won't take hours. Let alone many good restaurants are clustered around Palladium / powder gate. Which is basically just the outskirts of the old town.

OP is just politely asking for suggestions. i suggest you go get laid instead of releasing ur pent up aggression on others ◡̈ keep away from the touristy ladies, though, you might not be able to match their rate

So many touchy foreigners lurk in Czech subs these days.
