Metro Chill-out Club is a small, comfortable, underground place with lots of sofas and a penchant for electronic music. The bar is kind of hard to find. The entrance is set back from the footpath in a dark archway and the only clues are the illuminated Pilsner beer company sign and the green and orange zebra-striped door if it happens to be swinging open at the time.
Sometimes you’ll have to ring the doorbell to get past the zebra door. There are some clever artistic flourishes in the design of the bar, but they’re obviously from a few years ago and are starting to look a bit worn in places now.
Metro’s relatively small capacity helps to give the place the slightly exclusive feel of a club. The staff are fairly pleasant: just make sure they give you your change and don’t think everything is a ‘tip’. The music is what you might expect from a “chill-out-club”; laid-back groovy electro-trance. During their busier times, they often have DJ’s playing on weekends. The patrons are usually fairly easy going and casually dressed.
The beer on tap is Pilsner; half-litre glasses are 25Kc. It’s supposed to be open until 7am, but don’t be surprised if the sun is well up by the time you walk out.
Sometimes you meet some real dogs there, but on a good night, it’s one of Olomouc’s best bars.
