Bohemian chic is the only way to describe the exclusive hangout known as Radost FX. This place has been a Czech favorite for over 20 years and keeps it’s reputation for good reason. Though the venue is hidden behind a rundown 70s complex, stepping foot into the space transports you to one of the most eclectic artsy places you will ever see.

Classic baroque chandeliers hang from the ceiling while large gaudy mirrors decorate the walls. Rows of square mirrors line the walls and the color green shines throughout the main bar. The handmade furniture is rich with floral prints.

Step into the second bar room and you will notice an enormous mirrored star sculpture over head. Sharp lines and circles shoot from the center to the end of the walls. This room is pink and the contrast of green brings a psychedellic mood to the space.

Morrocan and Meditteranean influence  permeate the space. A grided morrocan lamp hangs from the ceiling and casts a graphic grid onto the ceiling.  Tan arches lie above ornate pink floral printed walls.

Radost mixes a plethora of colors, eras, and styles together and it all seems to work. A rich history and cultural elements make the club special, something that can never be replicated. It’s almost like organic elements and hip social crowds flock to Radnost for great times, beautiful drinks and a Bohemian rockin time.
