Attend dedicated poetry readings and theatre
Participate in the venue's long-standing tradition of hosting poetry nights and live theatre.
Overview
Balbínka, located at Balbínova 323/6, is a cornerstone of the Vinohrady district's cultural life, functioning as both a traditional Czech pub and a dedicated stage for live performances. Since 2000, it has maintained a nightly schedule of events ranging from folk and rock concerts to poetry readings and theatrical plays. The venue holds a special place in Prague history, occupying the site of the former U Zlatého litru tavern, a legendary meeting spot where Jaroslav Hašek established the Party of Moderate Progress Within the Bounds of the Law in 1911. Its atmosphere is notably intimate and cozy, making it a preferred location for acoustic singer-songwriters and small bands looking to connect directly with their audience, away from the more commercialized nightlife found in the city center.
