Founded in 1958, this is Prague's oldest jazz venue The intimate setting draws well-attired patrons into tiered seats and lounges to soak up the swinging big-band, Dixieland atmosphere. It pays to be early, as it occasionally oversells tickets.

Sedm Vlků (Seven Wolves) is a two-level, art-studenty cafe-bar and club - at street level, there's candlelight, friendly staff, weird wrought-iron work and murals, and the music's low enough to have a conversation. Down in the darkened cellar, DJs pump out techno, breakbeat, drum'n'bass and ragga on Friday and Saturday nights.

Locals gather here to sample the classic Czech lager (in light, dark and mixed varieties) that is brewed on the premises, as well as wheat beer and a range of flavoured beers (including coffee, banana and cherry). The pub itself is a pleasant place to linger, decked out with polished copper vats and brewing implements and smelling faintly of malt and hops.
