Popocafepetl Ujezd is unique out of all the Popo chain bars, because since February’s reconstruction, it is one of the very few NON-SMOKING clubs in Prague. Anyone who goes out in Prague knows the pain of coming back home with one’s clothes, skin and hair all smelling like an ashtray — so this is a big step and Popo has a massive plus from me for that! Drinks: There are about four beers on tap. There is a good variety of spirits and cocktails. Despite being famous for the dirt-cheap cocktails(tequilla sunrise and other longs for 65 crowns in the center of Prague — what’s not to love?!), last time I went there it also stocked some lovely high quality foreign rums. Atmosphere: This one is tricky, as it can change drastically depending on the night. Sometimes during the busy events when there’s a good DJ on, you can’t hear a word and have to fight your way to the bar. On other nights it gets very quiet, to the point that given how large it is, it can seem quite dead. I think you can’t make a mistake in coming here for cheap pre-drinks, though — worst case you’ll move on to one of the numerous other bars nearby. Location: Popo is about a minute away from the tram stop ‘Ujezd’. The Ujezd area is a good party spot not for large scale clubbing, but rather for a crawl along smaller and more atmospheric bars and pubs. It can get quite busy and lively and is a spit away from the most central locations of Prague, so there is no way you won’t have options even if you decide to have a drink and then move on from Popo. Also, on the nights with good weather, there is nothing more pleasant than heading out of the bar drunk and taking a nice group stroll through the Petrin Hill(no more than a minute walk away from the bar) and enjoying the amazing views of the city by night from there.
