Karlovy Lázně[n 1] (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkarlovɪ ˈlaːzɲɛ]; meaning "Charles' Bath") is a five story disco club in Prague, Czech Republic and the largest club in Central Europe.
It was used as the prototype for the "Crazy Disco" scene of the movie Bronson.
Lázně is situated 50 meters from the eastern end of the Charles Bridge on the bank of the Vltava River. An entrance fee of 120 koruna allows access to the club, which features different music on each of its five levels..
The basement level contains free internet access for any of the guests, foos ball tables, a full bar and dance floor, with rap & R&B being the music theme. Various nooks and crannies are present on this floor. The street level floor, and the main entrance into Lázně features another bar, tables and chairs, and a balcony looking onto the basement dance floor. One floor up is the Kaleidoskop Room, where mostly teenagers bounce around to electronica. On the next level one finds a mixture of top 20 singles, mainstream dance hits, and retro that pushes the envelope all the way back to the 1950s, but especially music from the 80's and 90's. "What is love, baby don't hurt me" is the most played song at this level. In general, this level offers the greatest variety of individuals visiting Lázně - featuring laid back tourists, young suave locals, and a surprising number of the adult crowd above 30. Everybody enjoys doing a known czech specialty: Beer Slides. The next level sports another trance and techno extravaganza, just in case you skipped the nearly identical electronica Kaleidoskop Room. On top, the Chill Out Room houses another redundant level of trance and techno music where people dance in laser cages. However, the level lacks a serious dance floor and visitors instead relax on comfortable couches and bean bags. Every level of Lazne features two bars.
Seeing as Lázně is the largest club in Prague, and supposedly Central Europe as well, the club is crowded at weekends with an assortment of tourists and locals, guaranteeing an interesting experience. The variety of floors and music sweeping the club ensures that Lázně maintains a far more diverse and exotic crowd than any other club in Prague.
