Darlings - www.kabaret.cz
The biggest and most popular club in Prague because of heavy advertising and promotion aimed at tourists. Their prices are absolutely ridiculous, which is why many locals stay away. Costs about $17 for entry and a cheap beer costs almost $6. You can grab discount entry from the promoters standing at the street corner, and on some nights, beer is half price at $3 if you get in before 11pm. They always have a lot of girls, but from what I was told and confirmed by what I saw, most seem to be there just to fill up the joint and look like there's a great selection. To a much larger degree than Sexy, most of the girls are not there for sex, but just dancing/padding the selection so you feel a little duped.
Once you see the menu, you'll be really turned off. It costs $57 for a nude table dance (the chick strips in front of you at your table) and $171 for 30 minutes of sex in a private room, although they bill it as "autoerotica" which means masturbation, and some of the girls seem a little naive and think guys are willing to pay $171 to either masturbate or watch a girl masturbate. There are some really attractive girls, but it's really hard to justify paying $171 for 30 minutes when at other places, you can get someone almost as good for $57. The girls make a lot more money if they can grab a guy for a $171 private session, but I saw few takers for the private rooms.
Most guys happily paid for the overpriced drinks to watch the floor show for an hour or two. Liquor is twice that of Sexy Go Go (which is also owned by the same people as Darlings), at $114 per bottle, but the floor shows are slightly more elaborate with various themes. Sadly, the strippers seemed younger and more attractive at Sexy. Still, it's definitely worth a look if you grab a bunch of your friends and just get the cheap beer. On rare occasions, there are a couple of stunners that are possibly worth $171 for 30 minutes. But in most cases, you can get something just as good down the street at Sexy, for $40 less.
Sweet Paradise - www.sweetparadise.cz
It's farther away from the tourist areas and targeted at locals, albeit a bit more upmarket. There are two locations, both of which are lower-level, lounge-like establishments. You have big comfy sofas around tables, and a central bar. Girls sit around on other couches, waiting for you to invite them over or if you like, the head madam can make the girls parade in front of you.
There is an uncomfortable feeling sitting around, eyeing the girls on the other couches, who mostly look bored and rightfully so. It's almost disrespectful. At least the prices are very fair. Drinks are equivalent to restaurant prices with teas, coffee, and beer for $2 or less, and if you get in before 8pm, admission is free, with prices for sex starting at $80 for 30 minutes. After 8pm, admission is $6 and sex is about $100 for 30 minutes - still very reasonable. What seems to occur at 8pm is a shift change. Not only are the prices different, but the girls are as well. From what I saw, the girls were no better and no worse before/after 8pm so it's better to go before 8. There's a theory that the younger girls are regular dayjob locals so they take the pre-8pm shift. This theory has some validity as the girls working 10pm onwards at the other clubs, are clearly pros.
Girls were mostly average, with a few above average and definitely worth $80. Unlike the other clubs, all the girls you see are available for sex, so there's no uncertainty or fakes like you see at Darlings and to a lesser extent, Sexy Go Go.
Atlas Cabaret - www.atlas-cabaret.cz
This club is across the street from Darlings and went through a major renovation that transformed the interior to resemble a Wild West Saloon. On the website, you see girls dressed in Wild West garb, enforcing the Saloon theme, but in reality, the renovation is all for naught. Unlike the website pics, the place is bathed in neon, completely hiding the great woodwork.
The girls were average-looking. I didn't get a chance to sit down at the club and only took the free tour that was offered. I believe prices were about $100 for 30 minutes. From my brief tour, it seemed most girls were there for sex, with about 20 or so girls. It's not the cheapest club according to the writings on the outside, but for something downtown, the prices are better than the others.
