Prague Weeknd Diary – one Krakow Animals guide vs The Drunken Monkey

So I escaped Kraków for two nights, marched off the FlixBus and straight into The Drunken Monkey. Spoiler: Prague won.


Where I slept (and occasionally napped)

I booked a bunk at the brand-new Drunken Monkey Experience Hostel. It sits by Florenc bus station, an easy stroll from the Forum Karlín music venue, so my map skills were not tested at all. Rooms are fresh, air-conditioned, and the Wi-Fi hits 200 Mb-ish which was perfect for my late-night meme dump. Extra perks that came with the bed:

  • Outdoor courtyard bar for “just one more”

  • 24-hour reception (useful when you forget the door code)

  • Social lounge plus foosball and billiards

  • Luggage store big enough for my over-packed party shirts

  • Shared kitchen that actually has pans without mystery crust


The crawl that started the carnage

Night one I signed up for the legendary Drunken Monkey Pub Crawl. First stop is their own bar where the staff flood you with unlimited beer, wine, plus vodka rum and gin mixes. Five custom beer-pong tables, flip-cup kits, and a giant Jenga tower keep everybody busy while the bartenders hand out free party shades if you ask nicely. After the bar session the hosts walk (and occasionally herd) the group to two or three partner venues, each greeting us with a welcome shot, and the ticket already covers cover-charge for the final club. Zero waiting in the queue – the hosts sweep you right past it. Prague-pub-crawl

Tiny wins I clocked

  • Party hosts actually remind you to drink water, lifesavers.

  • No stag gangs in borat costumes, house rules ban them.

  • Smart-casual dress gets you past Prague door staff stress.


Boat party on the Vltava – open bar on a moving floor

Day two my brave brain booked the Sunset Boat Party. Think open bar (same unlimited drink list) plus a live DJ decked on the roof so the music stays with the sunset. When the boat docks everyone marches to Duplex rooftop club – VIP entry handled, no extra fee. This is the only Prague boat gig that mixes open bar with a sundeck DJ, and yes, it feels as good as it sounds when the castle drifts by in golden light. Sunset-boat-party


Unlimited Beer Pong session – proof I can’t aim

Back on dry land the bar runs an Unlimited Beer Pong booking: custom tables, balls ready, endless Czech lager and wine, and seven big screens playing any sport you beg for. You can level up by adding trays of vodka or rum shooters but I already had enough bravery juice. The staff set the cups, settle rule disputes, even suggest food delivery if you need carbs. Beer-Pong


Craft beer tour for the “culture”

I tried to look sophisticated on their Czech Craft Beer Tour. A local guide walks you through eight different microbrews – real craft stuff you won’t find in the supermarket. Highlights include a stop at Sibeeria Tap Room with a hundred-plus beers on offer, then a wander to Letná Beer Garden for skyline views. Hot snacks exist if you need them. Even as a vodka loyalist I learned loads about 11° pilsners and fruity sours. Craft-beer-tour


Bottomless brunch buffet (aka hangover CPR)

Last morning I shuffled onto their moored brunch boat. For a fixed ticket you demolish a buffet of eggs, bacon, pancakes, fruit, hash browns, cereal, coffee, juice – plus bottomless mimosas and build-your-own Bloody Marys. A DJ spins chill tracks and there’s an open mic if you feel extra. I did not feel extra. Bottomless-brunch-buffet


Quick cheat sheet (facts not fluff)

  • Pub crawl price currently listed at roughly €32 online, covers all bars and the final club. 

  • Boat party ticket from about €45 on weekdays, rises on weekend peaks – but includes the Duplex club entry. 

  • Beer pong session about €20 per person with endless lager and wine. 

  • Hostel beds vary, check their Cloudbeds calendar for the latest deal. hosteldrunkenmonkey.cz

(Prices are what the site shows as of this week – always peek before you pay.)


Rookie errors you can dodge

  1. Currency brain-fart – Czech crowns are sneaky. Use a card or Revolut and skip the airport exchange shops that mug tourists.

  2. Forgetting ID for Duplex – the club wants physical passport or licence, phone photos get bounced.

  3. Packing slippery shoes – cobbles plus boat deck equals surprise split.

  4. Skipping the water jugs – the bar hands them out. Take them. Your Monday self will thank you.


Why the Monkey combo rules

Having the hostel, the bar, and the activity desk under the same umbrella means zero taxi costs and max friend-making. The staff juggle safety with party vibes, the events run every week, and if one activity sells out they’ll slide you onto another. It’s basically plug-and-play nightlife with a pillow included.
