FOOD & DRINK IN SMÍCHOV & ANDĚL<br />
Lebanese<br />
Safir Obchodní centrum Nový Smíchov, Praha 5, Plzeňská<br />
8, MAnděl. It’s true, Safir is in a mall and it is self service, but<br />
for vine leaves, hummus, baba gannoush, tabouleh, fatoush,<br />
falafel and gyros, you cannot complain with the flavour or price.<br />
Hot meals such as grilled fish, chicken in Mediterranean veggies<br />
etc. are daily specials and for the real fast foodies, grab a<br />
sandwich. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. (45 - 200Kč). PTU<br />
Mexican<br />
Hombre del Mundo Mexicano Praha 5, Nádražní 21,<br />
MAnděl, tel. 257 32 69 02. From the makers of Corleone Pizza<br />
comes this pseudo-Czech-Mex playing Sade, serving hit and miss<br />
meals and some mean cocktails. The margarita is excellent, not<br />
made of the too-sweet mix, mojitos similarly well crafted and all<br />
cocktails can be virginised if you so wish. The food, tender chicken<br />
steak, sizzling & spicy fajitas (not enough guac or salsa – although<br />
the latter is spicy), odd quesadillas, dry nachos, like we say, hit and<br />
miss. QOpen 11:00 - 02:00. (90 - 100Kč).<br />
Seafood<br />
La Cambusa Praha 5, Klicperova 2, MAnděl, tel. 257<br />
31 79 49, www.lacambusa.cz. This provincial Italian<br />
kitchen serves up a small range of saltwater fish (as opposed<br />
to shellfish). In a landlocked country such as this, it’s a good<br />
sign, albeit an expensive one. QOpen 19:00 - 24:00. Closed<br />
Sun. (300 - 1,300Kč). AGP<br />
Bars<br />
Back Doors Praha 5, Na Bělidle 30/310, MAnděl,<br />
tel. 257 31 58 24, www.backdoors.cz. This space is<br />
part restaurant, part bar and part club in the cellar of an old<br />
Smíchov house. Massive wooden furniture and forged iron<br />
work complement the brick walls and parquet floor of its<br />
historical setting. Good for their lunch specials and fabulous<br />
for the night time change to music bar with high quality audio<br />
system, where you can hear various styles of music from<br />
famous Czech DJs. QOpen 11:00 - 02:00, Fri 11:00 - 04:00,<br />
Sat 18:00 - 04:00, Sun 18:00 - 23:00. AE<br />
Jet Set Praha 5, Radlická 1c, MAnděl, tel. 257 32 72<br />
51. The central square bar is low enough for all drinkers to<br />
scan the crowd and check out who’s who this evening, the split<br />
levels ensure dancers with confidence will be centre stage,<br />
and the DJs make sure everyone has to get close together for<br />
any conversation. It’s sleek, chic and designed to empty NYC<br />
wannabes’ pockets with style. The great menu has a Mediterranean<br />
influence. QOpen 11:00 - 02:00. ABGP<br />
Lokalblok Praha 5, nám. 14. října 10, MAnděl, tel.<br />
777 24 24 76, www.lokalblok.cz. A climbing bar in Anděl,<br />
with air conditioned walls, claiming to be the third largest in<br />
Europe. With good overhangs and some tough lines, the wall<br />
will create a thirst that is easily and cheaply quenched in the<br />
popular bar upstairs, where the prime sport is vertical flirting.<br />
A weird foosball table downstairs too. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00.<br />
Climbing wall open 09:00 - 22:00; Sat & Sun 12:00 - 22:00.<br />
60Kč per day. BP<br />
Pekelnej Bar Praha 5, Na Bělidle 38, MAnděl, tel. 257 32<br />
24 10, www.pekelnejbar.cz. Anděl might mean angel in Czech,<br />
but this part of town is acquiring a devilish reputation. Pekelnej,<br />
meaning Hellish, is heavy on chains, red drapery and attitude. DJs<br />
spin nightly although the lack of dance floor means you have to<br />
jostle with one another. Excellent Bloody Mary for just 80Kč and<br />
Czech wine from 160Kč a bottle. QOpen 17:00 - 03:00.<br />
Prague In Your Pocket<br />
The Swamp Praha 1, Ujezd 5/558. The anarchic spirit of<br />
Hawkeye’s tent at the Mash 4077 lives on in this cavernous<br />
bar in Smíchov where the phat beats emanating from the<br />
DJ seem to shift the smoky air while a varied set of drinkers<br />
fill the many rooms, nook and crannies. Head down, down,<br />
down the stairs and join the fun from early to late – or vice<br />
versa. Excellent bar staff. Tram to Švandovo divadlo. QOpen<br />
10:00 - 04:00.<br />
Clubs<br />
Futurum G-6, Praha 5, Zborovská 7, MAnděl, tel.<br />
257 32 85 71, www.musicbar.cz. Smíchov is on its<br />
way to glory, and the way is paved by Futurum’s, er,<br />
futuristic rooms. Its ultra modern conversions with eccentric<br />
lighting and exposed metal and brick is inventive.<br />
The place hosts launch parties for Czech bands, the<br />
odd cultural festival and half-decent DJs. Fridays host<br />
their popular 80s & 90s night. QOpen 20:00 - 03:00.<br />
Admission 100Kč. E<br />
Klub 007 Strahov<br />
Praha 6, Vaníčkova 7, Koleje ČVUT blok 7, tel. 257 21<br />
14 39, www.klub007strahov.cz. Skulking in the basement<br />
of a block of student accommodation near Stadion Strahov,<br />
this hardcore/punk and hip-hop club has been keeping study<br />
results bad for years. QOpen 19:30 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 19:30<br />
- 02:00. E<br />
Popocafepetl Music Club Praha 1, Újezd 19,<br />
www.popocafepetl.cz. New cellar music club from<br />
Popocafeptel who have cool bars at two other locations.<br />
The club has a wine bar attached which can double as a<br />
chill out room. The space is small but well utilised and<br />
already drawing the crowds. Located by trendy Downtown<br />
Café, this block is a new hotspot. Their bookings<br />
are an international bunch from homegrown talent to<br />
bands/members from SCO/FRA/SK/HU. Sundays have<br />
proved a good night for Gitans (CZ) and their gypsy<br />
nights. Gigs begin at 20.30. Admission up to 150Kč.<br />
QOpen 16.00 - 02.00. E<br />
Punto Azul Praha 5, Kroftova 1, MAnděl, tel. 257 32<br />
85 94, www.puntoazul.cz. If you tire of laughing at coked-up<br />
Martini people as the raison d’etre of your night life, try, as a<br />
suitable antidote, a long night with scruffy local ragamuffins<br />
playing tunes ranging between drum’n’bass, underground<br />
techno and deep house. A fine selection of cheap beers in a<br />
comfy budget bar/club with plenty of space to lounge around.<br />
QOpen 17:00 - 01:00, Sat, Sun 19:00 - 03:00. Admission<br />
50 - 100Kč. E<br />
U Bukanýra<br />
G-6, Praha 5, Hořejší nábřeží, MAnděl, tel. 608 97 35<br />
82, www.bukanyr.cz. Find Bukanýra, a houseboat-looking<br />
floating bar and club at it’s new address under Palackého<br />
most. It’s small but friendly and always busy with chilled<br />
groups lounging in the comfortable group seating arrangements.<br />
Various DJs spin discs while boozers smooze.<br />
QOpen 16:00 - 01:00. Closed Mon. Club open Thu - Sat<br />
19:00 - 03:00. B<br />
U Buldoka Praha 5, Preslova 1, MAnděl, tel. 257<br />
32 91 54, www.ubuldoka.cz. Straddling the fence<br />
between a munched out smokey dive of a bar and a<br />
club because it’s open late and has DJs, The Bulldog, in<br />
the same vein that it was started in a few years ago, is<br />
the receptacle for the flotsam and jetsam from Chateau<br />
across the river. QOpen 20:00 - 04:00. Closed Sun.<br />
Admission 50 - 100Kč.<br />
