Where to eat and drink in Prague? DJ Netsky shares his 6 favourite spots to visit

Belgian DJ Netsky arrived in Prague and besides playing he got a taste of the city. The drum and bass producer, who tours the world's biggest festivals, returns here regularly and it is clear that Prague has grown close to his heart.

From the airport he headed straight for a burger, followed by a secret pop-up set and also a new favourite beer which accompanied him all the way to backstage the next day. Around 400 people turned up for the secret set and the energy was exactly what you get when things happen spontaneously and without a lot of planning.

Here are the venues he chose during his visit.

Naše maso

From the airport straight to Dlouhá Street. Naše maso was the first stop, no delays.

A butcher shop that returned to the centre of Prague in 2014, emphasising the the origin of ingredients, craftsmanship and a direct relationship with customers. The meat here is sourced and processed in the traditional way, without unnecessary interventions. When you're hungry and short on time, there's nothing to think about. "I had the Wagyu burger and it was incredible." says DJ Netsky.

Taking a stand for quality meat

Beef from Czech Fleckvieh cattle, pork from Přeštice Black-Pied pigs, and smoked meats and sausages according to our own recipes. Naše maso butchers' shop is a temple for those who long for quality meat from Czech farmers. And if you can't make it in person, you can shop online.

I'll buy online!

Kantýna

DJ Netsky is clear: "Kantýna is very cool."

A business near Wenceslas Square, where under one roof a butcher shop meets a kitchen. Meat from Czech farms is prepared on an open fire and selected directly from the counter, not from a menu. Netsky mentions it in the same breath as Lokál.

Kantýna: Temple of meat

Load your plate with Czech beef and pork from the fire, order a beer at the bar, and tuck in. Our chefs cook from what the butchers supply, meaning the menu is constantly changing – each time you visit, you'll taste something different. Pick up something for home at our butchers' counter, or pick out the perfect cut and we'll grill it on the spot.

We don't take reservations – thanks for understanding.

Lokal Dlouhááá

"I really like Lokál, I love it there," he says.

The first (and longest) Lokál location at 69 metres, this spot serves beer from 12 tanks and Czech cuisine without compromise. Netsky tasted segedin goulash here, he liked the čochtan (a classic Czech beer pour, tapped with no foam) and learned to say the names of all the beers in Czech. Next time he'd like to try the tap school..

"I find your beer culture amazing. Your tapping process is different from ours, and I can't say anything against Belgian beer, but your Pilsner is incredible." A Belgian who praises Pilsen. Remember.

Lokál Dlouhááá

The first, and quite literally the longest Lokál – at 69 metres long, it hosts 1500 guests a day, serving beer from 12 kegs. Located in the centre of Prague, it's always packed and busy, just how we like it. Come and take a seat, or order online and get food and beer delivered straight to your door.

U Kalendů

Here, they butcher, smoke, pickle, preserve and bake their own bread. Nothing extra, and nothing wasted. Giblets, slow-pulled meats and seasonal dishes that get to the heart of the ingredients meet on the plate. Chefs and bakers work literally side by side, and since 2025, the business has been an award-winning Bib Gourmand.

Netsky headed here right away on Friday for lunch. He ordered the duck gizzards on bread and rabbit, was thrilled and would like to try more next time.

A restaurant and bakery on the right bank of the Vltava

On the right bank of the Vltava River, we cook without frills, bake crispy sourdough bread, and serve honestly treated beer. We process whole animals, from snout to tail—under the watchful eye of chef Honza Všetečka. The kitchen meets the bakery here: we fry sourdough, recycle yesterday's bread, and aren't afraid to experiment. We've earned a Bib Gourmand award from the Michelin inspectors.

Come and taste!

Dva kohouti

The secret set in the backyard of Dva kohouti was announced on Friday afternoon. Netsky picked the place himself and got in touch with them to say that he'd like to play here.

Dva kohouti are a brewery and a taproom under one roof, brewing during the day, tapping in the afternoon and evening. The brewer and the bartender each have their place here, and it shows.

"We sat at Dva kohouti and had this great beer." Netsky liked California by Pivovar Matuška so much that he took it with him.

A brewery with a bar

The opening of Dva kohouti transformed a forgotten courtyard in Karlín into a place which, when the weather's nice, is so packed you can't walk through it. Full of good people, and most importantly, great beer. We brew our local, „Místní”, in-house – brewmaster Lukáš Tomsa uses a 10hl brew kettle to create our flagship 12° pilsner-style lager, and dozens of other seasonal and festive specials. You'll also find Matuška brewery from Broumy in the line-up, as well as many other craft beers. Each evening, the space becomes a party pub, with DJ sets bringing an ever-changing atmosphere.

In the evening, DJ Netsky played at Roxy - and California went here, too. So the recipe for the ideal visit to the heart of Europe, according to Netsky? Meat, beer and a few tried-and-true stops along the way. The rest is up to the city.
