Alibi sits on Žitná in Prague's Nové Město, with the entrance tucked around on Mezibranská, and it runs as a cocktail bar that turns into a music room as the night goes on. The bar pours handcrafted classics early and hands the floor to resident DJs late, which is why it draws a crowd that wants drinks and a dance under one roof.

Alibi Cocktail & Music Bar works out of Žitná 1575/49 in Prague 1, a short walk from Wenceslas Square, with the door on the Mezibranská side. The official site and Yelp, updated through 2026, both list it as a cocktail and music bar open Wednesday to Saturday into the early hours. Tripadvisor and Apple Maps confirm the address and the late close. The hook is the format. This is a proper cocktail program with a DJ booth attached, not a club that happens to serve drinks.
The room
The room is styled for a long night, with a stocked back bar, low lighting and a layout that lets the early cocktail crowd ease into the later DJ sets. The bar's own pages lean on handcrafted drinks and live DJs as the twin draws, and reviewers describe a stylish interior built for staying past midnight rather than a quick stop. Early evening is the quieter window for a seat at the bar; the energy and the volume both climb after the DJs start.
What to order
Order from the cocktail list, where the classics, mojitos and a piña colada among them, are the drinks the bar highlights on its own menu pages. Prices sit in the mid range for central Prague, below the fine-dining cocktail rooms but above a corner pub. The move is to arrive early for a properly made classic at the bar, then stay as the room shifts to music. The plan is one cocktail before the DJ, a second once the floor fills, and a late finish.
What regulars say
Reviewers on Yelp and Tripadvisor describe Alibi as a reliable late option for cocktails with a soundtrack, praising the drinks, the DJs and the after-midnight energy near Wenceslas Square. The point that comes up most is timing. Regulars say it is a music bar first once the night gets going, so anyone after a quiet conversation should come early or look elsewhere. Several note the Mezibranská entrance, which is easy to miss for first-timers walking down Žitná, so the address detail matters. The detail that recurs is the dual identity. Drinkers who want a made-to-order cocktail and a dance without changing venues point to Alibi as the spot that does both, which is its clearest reason to exist on a street of restaurants and hotels.
Who it is for and best time
This is for a late night out, a cocktail before a dance, and anyone touring Prague cocktail bars. It opens evenings Wednesday through Saturday and runs to 4am at the weekend, so it suits a late start rather than an early drink. Skip it if you want a calm room; the music is the point after midnight. For the wider city, see the full Prague bar guide.
The verdict
Alibi earns its place as a late cocktail and music bar in Nové Město, the spot for drinks and a dance without leaving the building. Arrive early for a classic at the bar, then stay for the DJ.
