Radost FX
Location: Bělehradská 120, Prague 2
Phone: 603 181 500
Website: www.radostfx.cz
Best Night To Go: Thursday. Hands down.
We could tell you Radost is pretty intense, but perhaps Rihanna would be a more
credible source. After all, her “Don’t Stop the Music” video was filmed in this sometimes
blessed, sometimes not, always a shit show spot.
Come to think of it, one might call Radost the Rihanna of clubs in Prague. You love her
during those first few weeks, praising the stage and DJ on hip-hop night (Thursday). You buy
her drinks and carelessly push those hook-ups against the wall. But then things get a bit sour.
You notice that she is spiraling down, with an abundance of creepier-than-thou men. NYU
incest begins to peak. Suddenly, that Pon de Replay you once loved has become bruised and
battered in your perception (cue inevitable Chris Brown reference).
Regardless, you keep coming back. Even when you don’t, you hear about it when others
do. Radost has some kind of vodka mysticism that appears most profoundly in the lounge
area. That darkened room across from the dance floor has couches masquerading as pass-out
zones. Before you know it, Biggie Smalls has lulled you to sleep. Which is where the importance of a coat check comes in. Like other clubs in Prague, it’s worth paying the extra 20 Kč to secure your jacket and whatever KFC receipts lie in the pockets. Radost does have places where you can theoretically hide your stuff, but that’s why it’s a theory – you can be proved wrong.
Radost was one of the first clubs to open after the Velvet Revolution. We applaud it for continuing to get generations smashed in style. Come for hip-hop and electronic music, the occasional dance battle, and an all-around storybook night.
P.S. KFC is right across the street.
P.S.S. Radost also has a restaurant that offers a fantastic brunch and many vegetarian
options. Stay out all night and be the first to eat at 8:30 a.m.
Drink prices: Beer – 50 Kč; Cocktails – 70 Kč
