CLUB VALENTINO PRAHA



http://www.club-valentino.cz


follow the nighttours:
Valentino is one of the more elaborate and extensive gay clubs in Prague. In fact, it is THE main gay club in Prague. It is a multi-level, multi-room, complex that looks like an old movie house from the outside, with a small but nice bar area facing the street. Inside, you will find a labyrinth of different smallish rooms for dancing, drinking or cruising. The dark room on the bottom level is REALLY dark, so you never know what or who is happening in there. The style of the place is what you'd expect from other European cities, and relatively well done. The staff is as friendly as the cold and icy Czechs get.

While the Czech krown is MUCH less expensive than the euro, the Czech's compensate by just charging more for cocktails, so I am not convinced it's cheaper. Although beer is still very inexpensive.

The music in pretty good, but a bit forgettable. I don't think Valentino will be setting the international DJ scene on fire, but the sounds and beats were what you'd expect from a gay bar with a young, energetic and attractive crowd.

The crowd was friendly and have a curiosity about tourists and newcomers but still can be a bit standoffish. It helps to speak Czech for the locals, although many guys speak a bit of English (or enough to get, order, or have drinks).

Valentino should be a party of your Friday or Saturday night. It's close enough to Termix and other bars in the area that you could easily end your night dancing or drinking in the two or three bars inside the club.
