Sometimes you can hear the piano, other times the organ. Sometimes people sing here and other times people come here for exhibitions. The Atrium is a unique cultural center in Prague's Žižkov, which is hidden between apartment buildings not far from the Žižkov tower and Olšanské náměstí. The reconstructed Baroque chapel hosts concerts of classical music and jazz, important contemporary artists exhibit in the gallery and coffee is brewed in the bistro with the garden.
The atrium first opened in 1984 and has become a traditional place of Žižkov's cultural life. Recently, community events have been held here and the garden has become a popular place to relax. Since 2016, marriages have also taken place in the chapel.
Atrium Žižkov is managed by the contributory organization Za Trojku, which is being established by the City District of Prague 3. You can also visit our sister center KC Vozovna.
Club actually began in 1969! Since that it always was and is a place for underground music and activities - strictly. Until 1987 of course the students were taking care of the club and of course with many problems, due to heavy communist era. Different independent folk, jazz, new wave, acoustic music, "discos" etc. were happening here. The place survived very complicated times and during the velvet revolution it was important meeting point for all kinds of discussions, chats and readings. After 1989 punk and hardcore generation took place in writing history of this special space. Borders were finally open and many foreign bands went on. Since now, hundreds of bands and artists played and performed, from punk, rock, hardcore over ska, reggae, jungle, electro to folk, acoustic music, indie, new wave etc. Many promoters during this period was hard-working organizing and taking care of the bands. Thanx them and thanx the club crew - 007 still rocks!
Official owner is ČVUT, student association, which administrates the whole campus. Recent operator Ivo Kucera is renting the verge since early 90ties, the contract is reconditioned every year, usually without any complication. He is the heart of the club, working and working as nobody can imagine. Without him, the club would be probably long time gone. All the working crew is at 007 club like "at home", living for this place. As many club´s friends and helpers. This is the special atmosphere, the special energy, the special family thing about Klub 007 Strahov. The community is very strong and it is kind of changing througout different time periods, but the soul remains. Supporting independent live music and acts, strictly anti-main-stream, mostly D.I.Y. The club was never touched by techno, house, rave "discos" and maybe thanx this, was never "contaminated" by chemical drugs. Huge hard core scene boom was in 90´s, also ska community found its home there, straight edge crew as well, punk rockers and psychobilly crowd loves 007, indie music fans come often, live-electro music and also hip hop Saturday´s parties were for years big and greatly visited classic. Music diversity is basic 007 domain.

Despite the name, wearing red hats is not exactly commonplace here. It should however be noted that this three-level enterprise is located on the site where until 1913 the „U Štupartů“ house (also called „Devil’s pub“ by clever locals) stood from times when the Kingdom of Bohemia was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire and protesting against the Church was an eerie and uncommon sight. The 21st century’s Chapeau Rouge still offers its audience an entourage of both devils and angels. Apart from the Irish-pub like atmosphere on the ground fl oor there are two lower levels, or subterranean stages in cellars built during an age known only by historians. On the fi rst level there is a dance fl oor with both domestic and outlandish top dance DJs skillfully spinning on stage throughout the year, and is open to all with free entrance. Downstairs, a newly renovated space on the deepest rockbed was recently opened. This „Underground Club“ focuses mainly on live concerts by various indie bands, the occasional theatrical act, multimedia presentations as well as other mind blowing performances. Nevetheless, a delicious musical mixture of funk, hardcore, indie rock, disco and just about anything else that might satisfy ones tastes is regularly served from dusk ‘til dawn. Actually there‘s more than just music to experience at Chapeau Rouge. Anyone interested in visual arts are cordially invited to witness and behold the underground conceptual space featuring extravagantly lit sculptures and forms of streetart.
The newest space opened at Chapeau rouge was new Fenester Gallery in 2010. It was the only window gallery in Prague with a permanent curator.The gallery occupied one of the Chapeau rouge showcases. It offered a great opportunity for young artists to show their talent and also present their work directly to the public. Every artist could present his/her work for one month (including the vernissage). The Gallery ended in 2015.
