Cross Club

This guide to Cross Club in Prague opens around two thousand one or two, when a group of friends in gritty Holesovice grew tired of asking permission and took over a rough space near the old gasworks. It follows designer Frantisek, known as Fanda, who welded the interior himself out of scrap metal, old pipes, car parts, and broken machine housings rather than hiring an architect. Stand still and listen for the low hum under the bass line, cranks and shafts still turning overhead.
