Friend Prague used to be — and perhaps still is — one of the most popular gay clubs in Prague. Unfortunately, the quality of service and overall hospitality has noticeably declined over the years.They now charge an entrance fee even on Sundays when the club is practically empty. I also had a very small backpack with me, and I was forced to leave it in the cloakroom, which felt unnecessary.While they do accept credit cards, it’s made quite clear that they’d prefer you to pay in cash — likely to avoid reporting the income. The attitude of the staff and the general atmosphere no longer feel warm or welcoming.Frankly, it’s hard to see how the name “Friend” still fits. The place feels cold, impersonal, and money-driven. I’m disappointed, because years ago, this club had real charm. Now, sadly, it’s a shadow of what it once was.

we were there on the 8th of march and there was a dj Marty (the old one), who clearly does not know any of the hits. playing gagnamstyle in gay club in the centre of Prague on a weekend and the Women’s day? really? ALSO it was marketed that that would be POP DIVAS NIGHT. (disclaimer- none of the pop dirls’ songs were played that night) we were begging him for more than an hour (about 5-6 ppl) to play some exact songs, because the ones he was playing were terrible. as i think, it is more suitable to put YOUNGER DJs on the weekend!!! i really love this place because of memories, but this night was just terrible. also the bartender did some awful cocktails…. we got 2 sex on the beaches and one cosmopolitan. idk if that was bc of the alcohol they are using, or because of the poor mixture…

If you’re looking for a super friendly gay bar and dance club this is the place for you. Very warm atmosphere, friendly bar staff and drag host. We stayed all night and sat at the bar. There are also more seating spots so you can be entertained and comfy too. Each night is a different theme night to keep you entertained. Well worth a visit as it was the best gay place we visited and we did do the rounds in Prague.

I went to the bar with my friend a couple weeks ago and we had the best time during quizz night! The cocktails were perfect and Joanne did an amazing job hyping the crowd up. I will definitely be back!

It is quite sad to see any LGBT place trying to attract as well tourists and yet having not even one song in English. Bar and wardrobe staff were nice on any end but DJ saying there is only Czech music playing is kinda lame, sorry

Club security incredibly aggressive. Was kicked out of club and bruises were left on my arm. Not a safe place! Amazing they claim, based on their own private footage (which they don't show to anyone else) that I am lying. If they would apologize I would forget it

The club is nice, but there was a weird moment with a bartender. I paid by card for beers all night, and at almost 4 AM—right after my friend paid with his card—the bartender told me they weren’t accepting cards anymore. Suddenly, just like that. It would be better if they made up their mind about card payments 🙂

Worse club ever... Not LGBT friendly at all!!! The night we where there, a group of a straight men entered the club they were having their "guy's night" they were annoying my friend, joking about my gay friend, and obviously were making fun of community. Security just let them enter because they paid... DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER!!!

This guy did not let me come in. I paid 200 cr for a ticket. He thought I was aggressive. I don’t know why. My New Year is ruined, because of that bar

Been there with a friend it was filled with man that are trying to get woman, everyone was so touchy and this is not the securitys fault. But when someone touched me on my but* ı told them on security and they told me “ what do you expected its a clup we dont care if you are touched stop yelling at him and they told me if he is going to be out im also going to be escorted. Its not safe security does not care if you are h@rrasted by men and blame it on you. Even after he accepted what he did. I told 3 security man and 2 of them laughed about it one tried to help but the others stopped him from getting the guy out . They said “ accept it and stop talking we dont care its a clup . It was my worst night this shouldnt be the return of trying to have fun . At least get the guys out when they are dangerou$ to woman . But i guess you dont care once you get the fee . Also ı checked and you told ppl to tell it to security and they would solve it right away. No they dont they blame it on you and be aggressiv* to you. Wish it was a fun night .

This place is O V E R R A T E D ! everything about it is somewhere between “mid” - “highly suspicious/borderline uncomfortable” - “what the actual heck? i thought we were at a GAY CLUB”.You’ll do better if you don’t get tempted by how crowded it (sometimes, rarely) gets and rather go somewhere else. Not that there are many good queer clubs in town, but literally every single one is better than Friends).

Worst bar ever, I have been ordering drinks and tipping each bar tender to the maximum which 30%. When I asked for water which is 45 in their currency, they’re like oh it’s going to be 100??? Literally when you treat them in a nice way and want them to have more money (especially when I knew that they get 100% of the tips) they still act cruel to you. Keep in mind that I was active in their bar and joined into +4 karaoke to make the place more alive. You don’t wanna be there trust me, if they’re not nice to one of their best customers god knows how they will be to normal ones.

This is based on my experience on a Friday night. If you're specifically seeking an exclusively gay club, this might not be the best choice. While it's labeled as a gay club, the overall vibe and atmosphere are similar to any other general bar or club in the city. The crowd tends to be quite young, with many people around 18 to 20 years old, and you'll notice a significant presence of straight men and women, who make up the majority. The music is enjoyable, but if you're expecting a predominantly gay crowd, you might be disappointed, as straight patrons and young women dominate the scene.

Superb LGBT club in Prague. The vibe is nice and romantic, with an accepting crowd of all kinds of couple. The bartenders are kind and down-to-earth. Marek and Honza are very classy and kind.

Security guys here are not professional at all.... one of them broke my bracalet and send me out without reason. I would recommend to avoid this place. The manager did nothing when explained the situation..... well guys I already saw your answer, and it is totally false thatbyou offered me to return the entrance fee when you kicked me out. I Will go today, just to get my moneu back at least

It's a very lovely club, the stuff is amazing, drinks are very good and the prices are very affordable. I want to thank Michal for his help, he postponed the closure of the club to help me to find my wallet. Rarely you'll find such amazing people. Have fun!

Went for their drag night which they advertised on Facebook as free entry, but they actually charged a fee on the door. I mentioned this to the door staff who were incredibly rude and couldn't care less. The queens were fun, but I'll go to their shows elsewhere in future.Edit: The fee for the cloakroom was in addition to the entry fee, so that was not the misunderstanding. Whether or not it's normal in other establishments is not an excuse.

Small subterranean bar which charges entry fee (even on Sunday). We went around 9:30-10p and we're the only ones there. Had a drink and left with the empty...

Small town gay smoke-filled club vibe in Prague, which is just fine with me, except for the 'scam' that happened to be there by the staff. On the plus,...
