Could Nusle be gentrifying?

 

Club Baang!

O
ne of the grittiest and least charming areas of Prague has a new and hip hangout just up the street from Namesti Bratri Synku. The interior defies the general Nusle decor of drab colors and putrid stink for something more urbane composed of light-tans and off-whites and the enticing smells of the kitchen (think Kozicka).

 

The Baang Club is also a Nusle departure as it shuns the standard Czechno-pop or country music for, when I was there, early-sixties Rolling Stones and Motown. With a wide range of drinks and top shelf brands and service that is unheard of in this depressing quarter of Prague it truly sent this reviewer, who unfortunately resides in Nusle, into a state of shock.It also seemed a bit shocking to see the young social-climbing Czechs and their hottie girlfriends seeming ready to proclaim this cool little bar the new shi-shi hot-spot.

 

I couldn't help but wonder if it will remain the hangout of the young, post-communist neuvo-riche, satisfied and decadent, as, say Musketyr was before it became a Herna-bar or if its popularity will truly flourish.

 

Outside the bar's doors the grubby obcerstevni feed 6Kc Branik beers to the rif-raff of the area as the red neon sign on top flashed "Hot Sex!" and pointed up the street to one of the many brothels in the neighborhood. Some things in Nusle aren't changing that quickly.
