My Nights Out in Prague – A Diary

Night 1 – Dancing Above the City at Duplex

I’ll never forget the first night I went to Duplex. It sits right on Wenceslas Square, perched high above the city with views that honestly made me stop and stare before even grabbing a drink. I got there around 10 PM, just as the rooftop bar started to fill up. The place looks like a glowing glass cube from the outside, and inside? Total luxury – plush leather seating, slick lighting, and a vibe that made me feel like I was stepping into a movie.

The music was split across two floors, which I didn’t realize until I stumbled downstairs halfway through the night. Upstairs, it was a more mainstream mix – house, pop, singalongs. But downstairs? EDM heaven. The bass was pounding and the crowd was totally locked in. I lost track of time dancing under laser lights, only stopping to grab cocktails from one of the many bars – thankfully, the service was fast.

The highlight? The rooftop terrace. It was summer, and the fresh air, city lights, and views made for the perfect breather in between sets. I even spotted VIP areas tucked into stylish corners. I didn’t splurge that time, but I could totally see the appeal – front-row views of the dance floor and top-tier treatment.

Verdict: Duplex is sleek, energetic, and perfect for a night when you want to feel on top of the world – literally.

Night 2 – Getting Lost in the Beat at Epic Prague

A couple nights later, I went to Epic Prague – and wow, the name isn’t an exaggeration.

Located down on Revoluční Street, just a short walk from Náměstí Republiky, it’s underground and massive – three floors of pure electronic energy. You don’t just hear the music there; you feel it. The sound system is insane – L-Acoustics K2 – and I was completely mesmerized by the walls of LED screens flashing around the DJ booth. It was like stepping into a techno fortress.

That night, a guest DJ was spinning some deep techno tracks, and the crowd was totally into it. It felt international – people from everywhere, all drawn in by the music. I grabbed a spot near the front and just let myself go – hours felt like minutes.

I actually treated myself to a VIP table that night, which surprisingly didn’t break the bank. It came with fast entry (a godsend), personal service, and a raised spot with a great view of the dance floor. If you want that “main character” energy without spending a fortune, Epic’s VIP setup is totally worth it.

Verdict: Epic is for true electronic fans. It’s gritty, high-tech, and completely immersive.
