Prague has a good reputation for for having some of the best gentlemen's clubs and Hot Peppers is one very good reason why. Centrally located at 21 Wenceslas Square and open daily from 8 pm to 6 am, Hot Peppers is a favourite spot for tourists and locals alike.
We arrived about 10 pm, just a few hours after they opened. We were greeted at street level by a friendly door man and treated to a lovely lady dancing just inside the entrance before making our descent down the stairs to the club. There was a brief security check and then we were in. The place was about half full, (not bad for early on a Wednesday night) and the stage was already crowded with half naked women. The manager that evening was the lovely Natalia. She showed us to the V.I.P. lounge and we settled in to enjoy the show.
There are three poles on the stage and plenty of room for three dancers to do their thing at the same time. I had a pretty good view from where I was sitting and the layout of the place allows even those in the farthest seats to scope out all the action. The seats directly at the stage, (known as the "hot seats") were always full but there seemed to be enough turn over of the clientele that folks were able to find a spot there. The hot seats are the best place to be if you want to slip a tip into one of the dancer's g strings. The dancers take all denominations of course but if you have no paper bills, fear not. The bar will sell you Hot Peppers dollars, which can be used to tip the girls. 
We watched three dancers work their poles and remove pieces of costumes that were barely there to begin with. They were followed by three more and then three more and three more, all stunning in various shapes and sizes. Hot Peppers prides itself on presenting women from around the world but the dancers are mostly Slavic which suited me just fine. I didn't move to this country for the food. Our beautiful waitress Sandra was always close by to see if we needed anything and get us more beers if needed. Through the evening we were often visited by the dancers who would offer us private dances in one of the spacious and comfortable private rooms. I was there to work so I would always decline but they were still happy to spend a few minutes chatting before moving on to another table. 
There was a stunning number and variety of women taking the stage in the time we were there. They just kept coming. Every once in a while, a young woman would take the stage alone for a solo pole dance. Unlike the other dancers, she didn’t strip - but the way she moved drew every eye in the room. She appeared to be part of the show from the start, not just a filler between sets. With the strength of an athlete and the grace of an acrobatic dancer, she moved effortlessly up and down the pole. After about five minutes, her set would end and the next group of dancers would take the stage.
The dancers mostly stripped down to nothing but occasionally down to their strings. It seemed to me that if the patrons in the hot seats had folded enough hot pepper dollars into the women's costumes, the sheer weight of the tips would ensure that said costumes would come completely off. Speaking of "tipping", don't forget to tip your waitress. The bar and wait staff were all women. They worked hard and they were gorgeous on a level that could rival the beauties on the stage. A sign of a quality strip bar, in my opinion, is having waitresses as hot as the dancers.
As midnight approached the place was full. Things were really hopping now and the stage show took a turn. Instead of three lovely pole dancers, we were treated to a different kind of show. Three women took the stage and did a sort of "slave and master" routine. This part of the show used a leash and toys, and required a bit of acting on the part of the performers. They call this act the "Cult Show" and it's pretty racy. Don't bring the kids to the cult show.
As the clock past midnight the crowd seemed to grow even larger. The stage was once again filled with three new gyrating beauties. In the roughly two hours I had been there, I had yet to see the same woman take the stage twice. I think I had seen at least twenty five different, stunning women and was ready to see more but I needed to be up in the morning and it was time to pull myself away. Hot Peppers closes at 6am and even then they say if the crowd wants more, they will continue well past the official closing time but for me the evening was at an end. My friend didn't seem to possess the same amount of will power because as we were about to ascend the stairs to the street he suddenly stopped and said, "I think I'll stay a little longer". They had him. He was clearly under the spell of the place and was not able to leave. We said our goodbyes and I continued up the stairs to the street. I remember thinking, as I walked along Wenceslas Square "I wonder if he'll ever leave?" I still haven't heard from him. Perhaps he's still there.
Hot Peppers has been a fixture of Prague's nightlife for almost 20 years. It's a great strip club for stag groups, birthday celebrations or to just pop in for a little excitement at the beginning or end of your night out. It doesn't matter if you're a local or a tourist, Hot Pepper's beautiful women and welcoming staff will make your evening a memorable one.
