by the sculpture of an iron goat, Kozička is entered via heavy<br />
red curtains, down the stairs and into the labyrinthine set of<br />

(+420) 224 81 82 70, www.lacasablu.cz. A package deal<br />
of generic South Americana sold as the real deal. A pleasing<br />
and soothing spirit pervades the darkened corners, which are<br />
perfect, when a little recuperation is needed, for sprawling in<br />
but at the same time you can perch at the bar and find yourself<br />
in the midst of a mini Mardi Gras. Ay caramba the food is great<br />
too. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00, Sun 14:00 - 24:00. 6EKW<br />

(+420) 777 24 24 76, www.lokalblok.cz. A climbing bar<br />
in Anděl, with air conditioned walls, claiming to be the third<br />
largest in Europe. With good overhangs and some tough<br />
lines, the wall will create a thirst that is easily and cheaply<br />
quenched in the popular bar upstairs, where the prime sport is<br />
vertical flirting. A weird foosball table downstairs too. QOpen<br />
11:00 - 24:00. Climbing wall open 09:00 - 22:00; Sat & Sun<br />
12:00 - 22:00. 60Kč per day. PB<br />
St. Nicholas Café A-2, Praha 1, Tržiště 10, MMalostranská.<br />
Purportedly a wine bar, St. Nick’s has been attracting<br />
drinkers of all vogues for years and his allure hasn’t waned.<br />
Dedicated drinkers keep the vibe going late and jazzy live<br />
music adds to the cellar ambience. Snacks available. QOpen<br />
12:00 - 01:00, Sat, Sun 16:00 - 01:00.<br />
Sudička K-6, Praha 3, Nitranská 7, MJiřího z Poděbrad,<br />
tel. (+420) 222 52 06 72, www.sudicka.cz. The muted<br />
wooden floors and furniture in this cellar space provide a<br />
perfect venue for low down, chill out conversation to the<br />
accompaniment of a few drinks. The fireplace entices all<br />
during the cooler months, and despite the listed closing time,<br />
Sudička keeps the mellow vibe well into the night. Czech bar<br />
snacks, magazines and no music typify the place, while the<br />
0.4L beers ensure it isn’t a haven for drunks. QOpen 10:33<br />
- 23:00, Sat, Sun 12:33 - 23:00. I<br />
Tretters E-2, Praha 1, V Kolkovně 3, MStaroměstská,<br />
tel. (+420) 224 81 11 65, www.tretters.cz. The bar<br />
certainly seems sure of its leading role here, swallowing up<br />
so much of the space that it leaves little room for customers.<br />
And rightly so. Committed barmen can rattle up some<br />
seriously decent cocktails and they serve the best Bloody<br />
Marys in town. Wear a suit or the staff will probably sneer at<br />
you. QOpen 19:00 - 03:00. PA<br />
Ultramarin H-4, Praha 1, Ostrovní 32, MNárodní třída,<br />
tel. (+420) 224 93 22 49, www.ultramarin.cz. Deep in<br />
an old cellar, Ultramarin has pricey but decently made drinks<br />
and a few bugs to iron out service-wise. They’ve browsed<br />
through the chic end of the renovation brochure producing a<br />
feel that is definitely style over substance. QOpen 11:00 -<br />
04:00. PAE<br />

Casino President is a part of a hotel situated on the embankment of the Vltava River,<br />
a few minutes walking distance from the Old Town Square and Paížská Street.<br />
In Prague there are lots of places calling themselves casinos but they don’t represent<br />
and don’t mean the same.<br />
It is one of the most pleasant, most discreet and safest casinos. This place will surely<br />
surprise you with a stunning view of the Prague Castle that you would hardly nd on<br />
postcards or in tourist guide books.<br />
Casino President is a part of a large casino chain owned by the Spanish COMAR<br />
company. We can mention the following interesting facts: ATLANTICO, BAHIA DE<br />
CADIZ, ARANJUEZ from Spain, BAHIA PRINCIPE, EL DORADO a EL EMBAJADOR from<br />
the Dominican Republic.<br />
After the oods in 2002 the casino was largely refurbished and was given a different<br />
image. There is a good atmosphere, and the employees are pleasant trying to meet all<br />
guests’ requirements. Casino is not only for the hotel guests or foreigners. Everybody<br />
who is passing by can come and have a look, spend some time here or try to play. It<br />
does not matter when you want to have a good time, you don’t need any programme or<br />
tickets, your good mood and willingness will suf ce.<br />
We have roulette and card tables available for you to play Poker, Pontoon, Texas Hold’em<br />
and Black Jack. The currency you can use when playing is CZK or EUR or you can also<br />
exchange other currencies.<br />
The bar offers a great choice of alcoholic and soft drinks.<br />
