Pradelna Café (by Mascha Volynsky)
The pictue and Masha’s words are inviting & convincing enough aren’t they?
“Vaguely reminiscent of a French countryside living-room, with its blue and white décor and lavender stems in glass vases, Prádelna is all nouveau Žižkov. With mismatched quaint furniture, white walls and black-board menu, this non-smoking café seems to be made for a lazy afternoon of conversation and light snacking.”Read more.

Klubovna (by Tomáš Jungwirth)
This place has had many uses throughout the years. It’s been a school and a boy-scout club. At the moment it should actually be demolished but hey, it’s still there for you to enjoy!
“Concerts, festivals or theatre plays take place there quite often. Klubovna offers a wide range of drinks including draught lemonades and a vast number of quality rums.”Read more.

Like local Jana you can take note of the perfectly rounded cherubs’ bottoms, and visit this theatre to enjoy some great architecture and be entertained by one of the shows.
