Prague Pub Crawl: A night we will be talking about for years to come

The Prague Pub Crawl was potentially one of the most fun nights out I’ve had in my life. I stayed out all night, drank way too much Red Bull, and spent all of my money.

But it was so worth it.

Planning on doing a different pub crawl all together, we ended up joining fellow Busabouters on ‘The Prague Pub Crawl’.

And I’m so glad we did.

At the first bar we were given countless free shots, ending with a half shot of Absinthe. Wowee.


Crawl with me?


I ain't crawling in this dress. Piggy-back?

Happy after numerous shots, the second bar was full of loud music and silly dancing. It was also full of Contiki travellers passing out on the floor. But finally a pub crawl we could dance on!


We're sexy and we know it

The third bar was the calm before the storm, and that’s when the Red Bull started.

It’s also when the Wolf Pack started.

We met two fellow Busabout travellers, Glynn and David, two other lone wolves who we accepted into our group of lone wolves (after watching the Hangover, clearly).


And we're the five best friends that anyone could have

And finally, the highlight of our night.

The Five Story Club.

Each floor was set up and decorated differently, with its own musical genre. The retro floor had a huge light up dance floor, and the R & B floor had a huge pit for the dance floor with the DJ up on a podium.

It was so much fun.


From the windooowww, to the waaalll


Busabout!!

We danced for hours on the floor and on the bar. We spent all our money, scooping up our left over change and dumping it onto the bar for more shots. We drank stolen vodka straight from the bottle.

It was awesome!

We never wanted it to end, so when 5am rolled around and the club closed, we reluctantly started the walk home.

Turns out we were walking in the wrong direction.

I think we walked for an hour before deciding we were lost in Prague. With only the name of our hostel and no street address, we hoped a cab would be able to take us home.

But it only got us more lost and cost us a fortune.

Logging onto a random wifi network I quickly googled the address of the hostel before asking for directions. This led us to hop on a tram, hoping it would take us back into the city centre.

We must have missed our stop because half an hour later we were still on the tram and almost in the forest.

Off this tram and onto another back to where we came from. At the first sight of a cab we jumped off and prayed we knew where our hostel was.


Look out as far into the distance as you can in this picture. That's about where we ended up

When he pulled out the Melways (or Prague equivalent) I was discouraged. It felt like we were in that cab for an eternity!

So when we pulled up outside our hostel just before 8am I was so relieved. I actually didn’t think we would ever make it back.

Therefore this night will forever be known as the Prague Pub Crawl – the night we formed the Wolf Pack, the night we went to the Five Story Club, the night we drank vodka from the bottle, and the night (morning) we go lost in Prague.

Take me back!

Red Bull really does give you wings, but so does vodka,
