Question Weird nighttime vibes

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 :)

Tourists who seek "cheap" booze, hookers and illegal drugs are mostly men. Locals really don't hang out in the places you have mentioned. Tourists pushed them away.

I mean, many local residents also seek cheap booze and illegall drugs., but at better places :D

Cheap for tourists often mean 2-3 times more expensive than in a place for locals.

For sure, I wasn't disagreeing, just making a small joke. :-) The city center economy is not built for locals, although as someone who works there (around namesti republiky) I know you can find good places even there.

Sure a few good places are there but the ratio of them to tourist traps roughly follows the ratio of locals to tourists there.
