Prague: Pub Crawl with Open Bar and VIP Entry
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by New Bohemian Tours · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Six hours of open bar swagger in Prague. This crawl kicks off at Drunken Monkey Sports Bar with unlimited beer, wine, vodka shooters, and mixed drinks, then rolls into welcome shots and VIP entry at the nightclub. My favorite part is the built-in structure for meeting people fast, but do note the city rules that cap guided time after 10pm, so your plan depends on which start group you pick.
I like that you get the fun stuff without the guesswork: express security screening, a host/greeter in Spanish or English, and a night that ends at the same meeting point. It’s not the kind of tour for calm strolling and early bedtimes. It’s a nightlife plan—pretty straightforward, pretty social, and very drink-forward.

Key Things You’ll Want to Know Before You Go

- Open bar windows: 7:45-9:45pm (8PM group) or 10-11pm (10PM group)
- Up to 3 bar stops + a VIP club with welcome shots built in
- Drunken Monkey setup: beer pong, flip-cup, and sports screens running all night
- Two start options for different pacing once the 10pm noise curfew hits
- Self-guided after the first part with tokens/vouchers to keep things simple
Choosing Between the 8PM Pub Crawl and the 10PM Club Pregame

This experience runs with two different start groups, and that choice affects how your night feels.
The 8PM Pub Crawl Group is the classic full-flow plan. You’ll have the open bar at Drunken Monkey from 7:45-9:45pm, then you’re guided to the first bar and get a welcome shot. The next bar is self-guided, using a token for your free shot on arrival. Your final stop is the club, where you get a voucher for free entrance.
The 10PM Club Pregame Group is for people who want the club payoff more than the long pub run. You’ll get open bar at Drunken Monkey from 10-11pm. After 11pm, the open bar ends, and you choose: stay at the Monkey and buy drinks, or join the self-guided part to reach the bars and club at your own pace. You also receive vouchers for welcome shots and club entry.
Here’s the practical takeaway: if you want the most value from unlimited drinks, the 8PM group is usually the cleaner route. If you’re already set on club energy and don’t mind shifting gears after 10pm, the 10PM group can be a good fit.

Meeting at Drunken Monkey Sports Bar (Old Town) and Getting Started Fast

The meeting point is Drunken Monkey Sports Bar in the heart of Old Town Prague. You show your ticket at the door, then you get the “night is happening now” start.
The start period is where you’ll feel the design of the tour. It’s not just walking from bar to bar. You begin with games and team energy like beer pong, flip-cup, and body shots, plus unlimited pours while the group settles in. There are 7 TVs running sporting events, which sounds like a small detail—but in practice it helps the group vibe click immediately. It’s easier to talk to strangers when everyone’s facing the same distraction.
You should also plan to arrive with a little buffer. The open bar is timed, and the whole experience is built around getting the free drinks early, not late.
Open Bar Details You Should Actually Plan Around

At the open bar, you’ll be drinking like you mean it. The plan includes unlimited beer, wine, mixed drinks, and vodka shooters for up to 2 hours at the Monkey (timing depends on your chosen start group).
Two things matter for your experience:
- You can’t stretch the open bar past the time window. For the 8PM group it’s 7:45-9:45pm; for the 10PM group it’s 10-11pm.
- Shots are part of the pacing. You’ll get a welcome shot at each bar stop, so your drink plan should include both the open bar and the scheduled shots.
I also like that mixed drink + beer + wine options are included. If your group has different tastes, nobody has to sit out or wait for a specific pour.
If you’re someone who hates feeling rushed, just remember: this is a structured nightlife flow. The goal is movement, shots, and doors opening to the next place.
Stop 1: Your First Welcome Shot and How the Host Keeps the Group Moving
For the 8PM group, you start at Drunken Monkey, then you’re guided to the first bar. You get a welcome shot there, and then things shift into a faster rhythm.
The value of having a host/greeter in Spanish or English is that you’re not decoding the night by yourself. Your host helps the group get organized, and the experience is designed so you’re not stuck wandering around while new friends form around you.
This is also where you’ll notice one of the big strengths of the format: the guides are there to manage the chaos. One reason this style of pub crawl works is that it prevents people from getting separated and stuck at the back.
Stop 2 and the Next Bars: VIP Entrance Plus Tokenized Shots
The plan includes visits to up to 3 different bars (plus the nightclub). Each bar stop is set up with VIP entrance and welcome shots. For the self-guided part, you’ll get the tools you need—either a token for your shot or vouchers that handle entry.
This is one of those details that actually saves your night. When the next stop is self-guided, you don’t want to spend your evening arguing with street directions or searching for the meeting spot. With tokens and vouchers, you just show up and use them.
A note on pacing: the itinerary includes short on-foot transfers between venues, like a few minutes at a time. That’s good if you like the “next stop is close” feel. It’s less ideal if you’re expecting long, slow strolls with lots of sightseeing.

The Short On-Foot Breaks and Themed Interludes

Between the bars, the schedule includes quick walks and themed interludes that are described as wildlife viewing and dance show segments.
Now, the practical question is: what do you do with that information? Here’s the honest way to approach it:
- Treat these segments as part of the entertainment program, not as a museum stop.
- You likely won’t find the quiet, educational side of Prague here. You’re there for nightlife energy and added show moments during the crawl.
So if you’re booking hoping to pair history sightseeing with clubbing, you’ll be disappointed. If you want a fun, slightly goofy night with programmed stops and momentum, it fits the bill.
The Club Finale: Skip the Line, Walk Into VIP, Dance Anyway
The night ends at a major nightclub, and that final step is where the whole price feels most obvious.
You get VIP entrance and free admission to the club via voucher. You also get skip-the-line through express security check, which matters more than people think—long security lines can drain the mood fast.
The club portion runs on a big-party scale, with live music and a crowd that’s there for one reason: dancing. The point isn’t to have a quiet conversation. It’s to keep the energy up and ride the momentum all the way to the end.
Also, the experience ends back at the meeting point. That’s useful for planning your last transport—no endless guessing where your group is disappearing to.
Price and Value: Is $44 Worth It?
At $44 per person, this is priced like a nightlife package, not a casual drink deal. The value comes from the combination:
- timed open bar (unlimited pours in a set window),
- welcome shots at each bar stop,
- VIP entrance at the bars,
- VIP entry at the nightclub, and
- express security screening.
If you were doing this solo, you’d likely pay for at least several drinks, cover/entry fees, and you’d still be figuring out where to go next. This tour turns that into one planned sequence.
Where value gets better: you arrive early enough to actually use the open bar time. The whole thing is built around those drink windows, so showing up late can turn a good deal into an expensive regret.
Where value might feel weaker: if you don’t drink much, or you hate shots and timed pacing. This isn’t a light sampling crawl.
Who This Pub Crawl Suits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This experience is best for:
- first-timers in Prague who want a structured nightlife plan,
- people who want to meet party-minded people from around the world without social awkwardness,
- groups and solo folks who like a host-led flow and clear vouchers/tokens.
It’s not ideal if you want:
- a quiet, culture-first evening,
- a long guided tour after 10pm (city regulations limit guided touring after that point),
- a no-alcohol itinerary.
Practical Tips So Your Night Goes Smoothly
A few small choices can make the difference between a great night and a messy one.
- Pick the right group time. If you want the most open bar time, go for the 8PM group. If you’re club-first, the 10PM group can match that rhythm.
- Show up early at Drunken Monkey. Your open bar starts soon after, and you’ll want those unlimited pours when they’re active.
- Follow the 10pm rules. After 10pm, the guided tour stops due to city regulations. The Monkey also recommends following the 10pm noise curfew and the ban on public alcohol outside the bar.
- Wear walkable shoes. There are multiple short transfers on foot between stops.
- Plan your drink pace. You’ll get the open bar and then welcome shots again at venues. That’s fun, but it adds up fast.
Should You Book This Prague Pub Crawl?
Book it if you want a ready-made Prague nightlife evening: open bar timing, welcome shots, VIP-style entry, and a strong finish at a big club. The Drunken Monkey start gives you instant social energy, and the voucher/token system keeps you from wasting time figuring things out.
Skip it if you’re hoping for an all-night guided tour after 10pm or if you prefer a low-alcohol, slow-paced evening. The structure is part of the deal, and the city rules do affect the later hours.
If you book, do one thing that helps instantly: choose the start group that matches how you want your night to feel—pub crawl flow with longer open bar time at 8PM, or club pregame energy with a shorter open bar at 10PM.
