Whether you like improvised jam sessions or sophisticated concerts with world-renowned artists, Prague’s jazz and blues clubs will immerse you in sounds that resonate long after midnight.

1.Jazz Dock – a jazz port under the stars of the Vltava

Jazz Dock is located right on the banks of the Vltava River in the romantic setting of Malá Strana, offering a unique musical experience with a view of the river. The club has won an award for best bar (Czech Bar Awards) and its program features Czech legends (such as František Uhlíř) as well as foreign stars and modern jazz projects.

The interior combines a futuristic bar with cozy lounges and an outdoor terrace, where concerts and summer events called “Jazz On The Roof” are held throughout the year. The club offers 4K acoustics and live evenings until the early hours of the morning.

Reduta is one of the oldest jazz clubs in Europe. It was founded in 1957 as a center for small stages and has been hosting an annual International Jazz Festival since 1964. Another legendary moment was when saxophonist Bill Clinton played here during a jam session.

Today, it offers swing, Dixieland, mainstream and modern jazz, blues and funk, complemented by black light and pantomime. The club is located next to the National Theater and playfully combines history with live music.
