Akropolis is where you let it all hang loose and escape the poser crowds.

T
humping beats, choking, sweet-fragrant smoke, dread-locked girls and pierced guys slowly letting their heads bob in the current of music, smiles patiently waiting to be split by the spliff.

 

Good vibes abound, the DJs are always fresh and inventive, the concerts are consistently quality, and the blessed patron has his or her choice of three bars, a coffee-shop, and the concert venue, each with their own particular charm.

 

Palac AkropolisIt's hard to believe that a place this cool isn't pretentious, but it isn't. They take all kinds here, and this is the place to go.

 

Grungy, surreal, the Akropolis is probably the only place that manages to make sandy, waterless aquariums look like cool decorative pieces of art.

 

With its funky lights but no frills atmosphere, it's a great place to down a cheap glass of Velkopopovicky Kozel - and have a full meal with it too.

 

The menu is reasonable and extensive, with a pleasantly surprising range of interesting fish dishes from salmon to cuttlefish. For a walk on the wild side, get your fill of absinthe here.

 

The entrance round the back gets you to its club downstairs which offers live entertainment - catch the Abba sound-a-like group if you get a chance.

 

Reason to go: Good tunes, good vibes, and the chance to get high just by breathing.
