Planning your New Year’s Eve in Prague? This Drunken Monkey NYE Pub Crawl with open bar and SaSaZu club party offers a bustling way to ring in 2026. It’s a lively evening full of drinks, dancing, and spectacular views—perfect if you’re after a high-energy celebration.
What we really appreciate about this experience is how it balances the fun of a pub crawl with the thrill of a major club bash. The unlimited drinks at the start set a festive tone, and the skip-the-line entry to SaSaZu means you skip some of the usual stress that comes with big parties. Plus, the private transport makes moving through the city both easier and more comfortable.
On the flip side, this isn’t a low-key event. It’s all about big crowds, loud music, and a party vibe that might be overwhelming if you prefer quieter or more relaxed celebrations. Also, it’s a 18+ event, so it’s not suitable for families or those traveling with minors. But if you’re up for a wild night with a diverse crowd, this could be just what you’re looking for.
This experience suits travelers who want a combination of sightseeing, socializing, and partying—especially those who enjoy a lively, energetic atmosphere and don’t mind the crowds. If you’re after a memorable, high-octane New Year’s bash, this tour is worth considering.

How the Tour Works

For more beverage-focused experiences, here's what we've covered in Prague
Starting Point: The Drunken Monkey
We love the way this legendary bar sets the tone for the night—buzzing, friendly, and packed with international travelers. It’s a classic spot for locals and visitors alike, with a lively atmosphere that immediately gets you in party mode. Here, you’re greeted by hosts who make sure everyone’s ready to kick off the celebrations.
The Unlimited Drinks Experience
The open bar at Drunken Monkey is a real highlight. Expect beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, and shots—unlimited for a set period, typically two hours. This is where many reviewers found themselves chatting with strangers from around the world, sharing shots, and getting into the holiday spirit. One reviewer mentioned, “We loved the way the hosts kept the drinks flowing and kept the energy high.”
Choosing Your Path
The tour splits into two groups, each with its own vibe:
- Group 1: Starts with the open bar, then heads out to a top bar on Dlouhá Street for another round. This route is perfect if you prefer to kick off a bit earlier and enjoy a mix of bar hopping before the main event. Just before midnight, the group boards private buses straight to SaSaZu for the countdown.
- Group 2: Begins with a more relaxed start at the Drunken Monkey, with live DJ music and unlimited drinks. As midnight approaches, the group walks to Charles Bridge to watch fireworks over the Vltava and Prague Castle—a truly unforgettable moment. After the fireworks, everyone is transported to SaSaZu for the afterparty.
The Transport and Entry
One of the best parts? The private bus transport ensures you’re not waiting in lines or battling crowds to get into the club. The skip-the-line entry to SaSaZu also saves time and hassle, especially during a busy NYE.

The SaSaZu Club Party
Once at SaSaZu, expect a massive, multi-level venue with world-class sound and lighting. With over 2,500 party-goers and 8 international DJs, the energy is electric. The club hosts renowned artists like Tiësto and Steve Aoki, which really boosts the party vibe. Expect laser shows, confetti cannons, and non-stop dancing until dawn.
How It Feels
From the reviews, the atmosphere is lively, inclusive, and designed to keep the energy up. “Confetti cannons, lasers, and eight international DJs light up the night,” one guest said, capturing the scene perfectly. The combination of a lively crowd, great drinks, and top-tier music makes for an epic way to wind down the year.
The Experience for Different Types of Travelers

If you love big celebrations with a party crowd, this tour is likely to suit you. It’s particularly good for those who enjoy a high-energy environment—whether that’s dancing, socializing, or just soaking up the wild party scene. If you prefer a more relaxed New Year’s celebration, or if you’re traveling with kids or looking for something family-friendly, this isn’t the right choice.
The cost might seem high, but when you factor in the open bar, skip-the-line access, private transport, and a huge club party, many feel it offers good value for a hassle-free night. Just remember, the experience is less about sightseeing and more about partying.
