Dear Kasárna Karlín friends,
We’ve decided to answer the most frequently asked questions during this time when only our courtyard is open. Yeah, we know, it’s a bit rougher now and without the comfort you’re used to. But you know what? The most important thing is that we’re together again! We’re working hard on improvements.
What’s it like when only the courtyard is open?
Only the outdoor area is accessible. This temporary setup comes with some challenges – mobile bars and portable toilets. We’re open daily from 10AM to 23OM.
Are you open if it’s rain?
Unfortunately, no. We don’t have any shelter for you. If it starts raining we close or we don’t open at all if the whole day is rainy. You can find daily updates on our website and social media.
Is it possible to make a reservation?
Reservations are currently not possible. The logistics are just too tricky to manage in the outdoor setting. But those who know us know that there’s usually plenty of space — you’ll definitely find a spot.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Kids can always bring their own snacks and drinks. We’re doing our best to offer you something even under outdoor conditions. Please always get your drinks from our bars. We’re working to run this place in the best way possible – and it won’t work without your support at the bar. Thank you for understanding.
Can we bring our own cake for a celebration?
Absolutely, bring a cake! As for other food, if we don’t have a menu that suits your celebration, then bringing your own is fine. Once the indoor area is back, we kindly ask that you purchase refreshments from us.
We want to host an event – can we?
If you’d like to organize a larger event, please send your request to
produkce@kasarnakarlin.cz. Our production team will get back to you and let you know if we’re a good fit.
Can we register for beach volleyball?
Registration for beach volleyball is available on our website.
Do you offer anything else besides beach volleyball?
Right now, we also have table football, which is free to play. Just follow the law of the jungle – first come, first served.
Can we open a tab if we plan to stay longer?
Unfortunately, that’s not possible at the moment. Please pay as you go. Settled tabs make for happy friends.
When will the indoor area reopen?
A tough question – and one that keeps us up at night. Honestly, we don’t know yet. The administrative process is slow, and because there’s still a chance for appeals from opponents of our cultural center, it may take even longer. Keep your fingers crossed and come hang out outside. ♡
Are you planning any cultural or other events while only the courtyard is open?
Yes, we’re already planning the first events! All with respect for our neighbors. And we truly can’t wait!
WHAT MEASURES DO YOU HAVE IN PLACE TO PREVENT DISTURBANCE OF QUIET HOURS?
We continue to follow operational rules aimed at minimizing nighttime disturbances – including a ban on taking glass containers outside after 8:00 PM and an increased security presence to ensure a calm and respectful atmosphere among guests during opening hours. With our reopening, we are also introducing additional measures to help maintain the quality of life in the immediate neighborhood. For example, the fire pit will only be in use during the autumn and winter months.
Bars will have minimal amplification – we use only small computer speakers, which are virtually inaudible outside the bar areas.
The summer cinema will operate with headphones.
We will also reduce the number of large, outdoor amplified concerts. Until now, we have held approximately six such events per summer season (April – September).
We will continue to share information about upcoming events and any changes to operations via email approximately one month in advance, as we have done so far. (MČ P8, MHMP, TCP, PČR)
