Roxy
Roxy has been the anchor of Prague's underground dance scene since 1992. The main hall at Dlouhá 33 is a former cinema that never lost its theatrical bones: high ceilings, two stages, three bars. Drum and bass labels like Hospital and RAM treat it as a second home. One floor up is NoD, a gallery and theatre space that does completely different events on the same night.
What to Expect
Proper sound, a crowd that knows the music, and a layout that lets you move between stages. NoD upstairs does theatre and art shows if you want a different vibe earlier in the evening.
Raw and cultural. This isn't a glam club. The building has character, the crowd knows music.
Drum and bass, techno, house, indie, alternative. Programming varies by night.
Casual. No sportswear.
Serious club nights, drum and bass nights, catching international DJs in an intimate space.
Card and cash.
Price Range
Entry free to 300 CZK depending on the night. Drinks 90-180 CZK.

Hours

Insider Tip
Buy tickets on the website to avoid queues. Dress casually. The crowd skews mid-20s creative types and actual music fans rather than stag parties.
Full Review
Roxy at Dlouha 33 has anchored Prague's underground dance scene since 1992, making it one of the city's most enduring cultural institutions. The main hall is a former cinema, and that theatrical DNA remains: high ceilings, a raised stage area, and acoustics that handle bass better than most converted spaces. The building has the kind of character that cannot be manufactured, with worn walls and exposed infrastructure contributing to the atmosphere rather than detracting from it.
The programming rotates between drum and bass, techno, house, indie, and alternative depending on the night. The crowd reflects the schedule: mid-20s creative types and genuine music fans rather than stag parties or tourists looking for a generic club night. Dress code is casual and deliberately so, with the door more interested in your attitude than your outfit or shoes.
Among Prague's clubs, Roxy fills the important gap between massive tourist venues like Karlovy Lazne and the fully underground spots that do not advertise. It is established enough to book international DJs consistently but independent enough to maintain credibility with the local scene. Entry runs from free to 300 CZK depending on the lineup, and drinks sit at 90 to 180 CZK for the standard options.
Buy tickets on the website to skip the queue on bigger nights. The upstairs space, NoD, hosts theatre and art shows, adding a cultural layer that pure nightclubs simply cannot match. The venue opens around 9 PM and runs to 5 or 6 AM on weekends. Check roxy.cz for the specific programming before making the trip.
