McCarthy's Irish Pub & Disco
Old Town, Prague 1

It also houses a disco in the basement which pumps out the tunes well into the early hours.

McCarthy's is set in an ideal central Prague location, between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, and just two minutes walk from both.

The wood used to construct and decorate the pub was shipped from Ireland, along with the old bottles, pictures and other Irish memorabilia which adorn the walls. The result is a warm and friendly pub with plenty of ambience.

A number of large screens show sporting events throughout the day and evening, including live Premier league football, and Champions League and World Cup football, rugby, cricket, Ice hockey, and American sports.

Plus, there is a pool table and a dartboard.

There are Czech beers, Strongbow cider and cool Guinness on tap, plus a range of wines, spirits and cocktails to choose from. Prices are a little on the high side for Prague, but you are paying for the atmosphere and location.

In the warmer months a terrace outside provides a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by.

Downstairs in the disco, the night kicks off with live music every evening. This is followed by a DJ playing pop and party music into the early hours; at weekends the dance floor gets pretty busy.

McCarthy's is a good all round pub which attracts a wide range of people, from couples to stag do and hen party groups.

And if you overdo it in the evening and need some revitalisation the next day, you can always pop by for a full Irish Breakfast.
