McCarthy's Irish Pub & Disco
Old Town, Prague 1

It also houses a disco in the basement, which pumps out the tunes well into the early hours.

McCarthy's enjoys an ideal central Prague location between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, just two minutes walk from both.

Starting upstairs, the bar has an authentic Irish feel. The wood used to construct and decorate the pub was shipped from Ireland, along with the old bottles, pictures and other Irish memorabilia. And the pub is run by an Irishmen. The result is a warm and friendly pub with plenty of ambience.

The bar has a number of large screens which show an extensive programme of sporting events, including live Premier league, Champions League and World Cup football, rugby and cricket, Ice hockey matches, and American sports.

There are Czech beers on tap, Strongbow cider and cool Guinness, plus a range of wines, spirits and cocktails to choose from. Prices are a little on the high side for Prague, but you are paying for the atmosphere and location.

In the warmer months a terrace outside provides a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by.

Downstairs in the disco, the night kicks off with live music every evening. This is followed by a DJ playing pop and party music into the early hours; at weekends the dance floor gets pretty busy.

McCarthy's is a good all round pub which attracts a wide range of people, from couples to stag do and hen party groups.

And if you overdo it in the evening and need some revitalisation the next day, you can always pop by for a full Irish Breakfast.
