As we all know, a holiday, a weekend away, an expatriation and you miss just one thing: a good game of football, rugby or whatever.
Luckily for you, Prague is a very touristy city and it’s quite possible to find an establishment where you can relax for an hour or two and watch a bit of sport on television.
While rugby and football are favoured, ice hockey matches and major international competitions, such as athletics, are often broadcast on television. So if you don’t want to miss a thing, come along with us on this short tour of Prague’s sports bars.

The Dubliner is an Irish bar located right in the centre of Prague. Here you can enjoy some excellent Guiness, but above all you can watch a match and have a good lunch. Rugby, football, European Cup nights – you name it, the Dubliner is a sports bar par excellence, with a very warm but always friendly atmosphere! Of course, it’s not as good as being in a stadium, but it’s not bad. Don’t forget to make a reservation, otherwise you might not be able to get in.

Situé tout près de Namestí Míru, à Prague, le Beckett’s sport bar est l’un des endroits les plus connus des locaux, mais aussi des touristes. L’occasion pour vous d’assister, là encore, à tous types de rencontres sportives.
Les prix n’y sont pas plus élevés qu’ailleurs et l’endroit reste très accueillant, chaleureux. Point positif, si vous ne regardez pas les mêmes affiches que tout le monde, vous pouvez avoir votre propre petite télé dans un coin, il suffit de demander.
Pensez à y effectuer votre réservation. Le midi, à l’heure du déjeuner ou le soir, à l’heure de l’apéro et des matchs, les lieux sont vite, très vite bondés !

A little further out, the Drunken Monkey is a sports bar frequented by Prague’s youth. In fact, it’s the place where male and female students, particularly from abroad, meet. It’s not uncommon to see touts advertising it as you cross the central square of the old town. But after all, the most important thing is to see a good match, a good meeting, and the setting offered by the Drunken Monkey lends itself perfectly to this, so this establishment deserves to be on our list.

Do we really need to introduce you to Hooters? The Hooters is an American sports bar par excellence.
On the premises, you’ll find beer, several televisions in front of which to watch your match, and above all – and this is the whole concept of the bar – girls in short-sized clothes.
Orange mini-shorts, t-shirts bearing the name of the establishment, you’ll always be served with a smile… Even if it’s better in a stadium!

James Joyce is a bar-restaurant in Prague. In fact, it was the first establishment in the Czech Republic to sell Guinness. A part of the history of the drink in Prague, which not only takes you back in time, but also allows you to watch some great posters, as two plasma screens have been installed inside. One of the nicest places to go to enjoy a football match!

Another piece of Prague history. Jama was the very first American bar to open its doors in Prague, 20 years ago. Located not far from Wenceslas Square, the place is all about US sports.
Whether it’s American football, ice hockey, baseball or basketball, this is a great meeting place for Americans and those who share a passion for sports developed on the other side of the Atlantic.
There are several small screens on the premises, but a plasma is located at the back of the bar, giving you a slightly better view. All of which means that many customers flock here.

To the delight of the locals, the beergarden in Riegovry Sady (on our list of the city’s best parks) has reopened. In summer, during sporting events, a gigantic screen is set up there, allowing everyone to watch the match and, above all, have a good drink. A real event, since the place had to close its doors! Almost better than a stadium, especially if you want to support your favourite team… Even if the comfort isn’t optimal, as this is an outdoor venue.
What we think of Riegrovy Sady
Advantages
- The beer garden, the beers and the atmosphere
- The location, at the heart of the park
- The crazy atmosphere on big game nights
What we like the most
The surprising atmosphere on important game days and nights. Surprising.

McCarthy’s Irish Pub is the opposite of Pohoda. A sports bar in Prague, it also serves as a nightclub. It’s a lively place, but very pleasant, especially if you want to watch a good football match.

If you’re tired of being surrounded by expats, young people at stag parties and expensive Guiness… We invite you to turn to Zlatá Hvězda Sports Bar. One of the best sports bars in Prague.

The sport enjoys a real place within Czech society and culture. Many establishments offer the possibility to reserve a table in the evening to watch a good football match. If you’re not into sports, be sure to head to one of the many vegetarian restaurants in Prague. In any case, the Czech capital guarantees you a successful evening!
