Malostranská Beseda

Malá Strana


A legendary Prague venue, Malá Strana’s four-storey entertainment palace boasts a fabled music club on the 2nd floor, with a lively roster of Czech acts old and new, famous and 'keep-the-day-job'. There’s also a low-key art gallery on the top floor, a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, and a big beer hall in the basement serving Urquell beer and snacks.
