Brno nightlife is built around live music, cellars and a student calendar. The city has ten universities and over 65,000 students, and its best rooms are concert venues that turn into clubs after the last band: Fléda, Melodka, Sono and Klub Alterna. The Old Town handles the drinking, with cocktail bars around Zelný trh and Dvořákova and cellar rooms such as EXIT Club and Slast. Bars close between 02:00 and 03:30, and techno nights have run to 06:00. Entry is paid per event: a Fléda drum and bass night cost 399 Kč (€16) in advance. Worth knowing: trams stop around 23:00. After that, 11 night bus lines leave Hlavní nádraží together.

Brno goes out for the music first. The best rooms are concert venues that turn into clubs after the last band: Fléda, Melodka, Sono Music Club, Stará Pekárna and Klub Alterna. Opening hours follow the programme, so pick the night by the line-up, not by the street.
The Old Town does the drinking, and much of it is underground. Cocktail bars cluster around Zelný trh and Dvořákova, EXIT Club and Slast are in cellars, and Desert is a basement bar on Rooseveltova. Most bars close between 02:00 and 03:30, so the late part of the night moves to a club.
The way home needs a plan. Trams stop around 23:00. The night buses run on 11 lines, N89 to N99, from Hlavní nádraží, and on Friday and Saturday they keep going until 07:00. Do not rely on street taxis: use an app such as Bolt, which operates in Brno.
