For after parties I haven't been to any for about six months so i don't know LAX-Lavka, but it should be a good space, with its outdoor patio. People can chill in the morning next to the river while the weather is still good! Like the old Prague!!
Studio is an ecstasy fueled crowd, so if that isn't your scene, you might prefer going somewhere else. Le Clan is a bit more diverse, it goes thru its phases. Recently i've preferred winding up the night at misch masch which closes at 5AM. After a night there if youre not ready for sleep, you might have some new friends to show you where to go!
For the roadmap, it depends what you like. But you can start at Chateau or Bombay or after 10PM M1, Aloha bar, tretter's (these two are a bit older more upscale than bombay. M1 is younger than it was a few years ago when it was the favorite of visiting movie stars, but it can be fun if you hit it on a good night and get out of there early. By 12 it is so packed you can't move. Bombay is really the "foreigner trying to meet local girl" thing but most of the locals are not originally from prague. Lots of people from farther east or slovakia. Lots of resident foreigners. it seems to have captured all of the bad elements that used to be found at solidni nejistota, without the saving grace of an abundant supply of beautiful women that are easy to meet! bombay is a good pick for an early drink (say afterwork until 10PM) or nightcap (say 3AM or after). Chateau is the basic expat, tourist bar. you can start drinking there at 4PM and you'll have lots of company.
At 11 or 12 you can head over to KU bar which is good until about 1AM at which time people go to clubs, nowadays it seems to have a large gay population, but weeknights are sometimes pretty good. Also Aloha and Tretter's are good for just chilling and drinking in one place all night if you want a quieter evening.
From 12 or 1AM you can hit your favorite club. MischMasch and Mecca are a taxi ride away on the other side of the river. Once you're tired of them you can hit the afters, but If you get to LeClan before 5AM you'll have the place to yourself. Studio gets going around 6-7AM.
