Kasárna Karlín
Kasárna Karlín is a cultural center in a former military barracks, open to the public since 2017. Hidden away in an inner block, its big courtyard is home to cozy bars and a café, seating under the trees, and room to move, enjoy culture or let the kids run wild. In summer, come for an ice-cold drink at the open-air cinema, and in winter, warm up with mulled wine by the fire pit.
The project is run by the association Pražské centrum, led by Matěj Velek and Honza Touš.
Rules & Safety
We’re building a space where everyone can feel good. So please respect consent and each other, look out for yourself and the people around you, and if you feel uncomfortable or see inappropriate behavior, don’t hesitate to talk to our staff.
In agreement with our neighbors and the building manager, TRADE CENTRE PRAHA, we have adopted the following noise-reduction measures:
- The open-air cinema has a limited audience capacity, and its sound is delivered through headphones.
- Security is always reinforced during events and actively checks that all rules are followed.
- Outdoor operations are restricted from 10 p.m., with half of the courtyard closed off in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings.
- Outdoor food and drink service ends by 11 p.m. at the latest.
- Glass waste is taken out only during daytime hours, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
- All noisy work takes place only during daytime hours.
- All concerts are monitored by a sound limiter, which keeps track of decibel levels and records any breaches of the maximum permitted noise level.
- A continuous noise-monitoring device is installed on site and checks compliance with the set noise limits all year round.
