Question 1

What is the "Strip Club Drink Drugging and Overcharge" scam in Prague?

Accepted Answer

Attractive women near Old Town Square invite tourists to nearby strip clubs. Tourists' drinks are sometimes spiked to increase intoxication and compliance. Bills of thousands of Czech Koruna appear, with guards preventing exit. Avoid strip clubs approached via a street invitation. If invited, research the venue independently online before going.

Question 2

What is the "Overpriced Bar Tab in Old Town" scam in Prague?

Accepted Answer

Bars and strip clubs on Wenceslas Square and surrounding streets present tourists with inflated drink bills. Attractive staff encourage rounds of drinks, and the bill at the end bears no relation to any menu. Bouncers prevent departure until paid. Research bars thoroughly before entering. Avoid any bar or club where a person on the street urges you to enter. Ask for the drinks menu and check prices before ordering anything. Keep a running total mentally.

Question 3

What is the "Beer Garden Unrequested Rounds" scam in Prague?

Accepted Answer

In beer halls and tourist pubs, waiters bring unrequested rounds of drinks and add them to your tab without asking. This is particularly common in Old Town and at beer hall style establishments during tourist season. Tell your server at the start of the meal that you will order drinks yourself and they should not bring unrequested rounds. Check your bill carefully.
