Located, in what was for decades a coal cellar, A Studio Rubín has been running as an underground (literally) performance space since 1967 with only a brief break in programming after the Communist regime closed it down. Reopening with red tones to its name, it was allowed to continue. The building 'The House at the Three Crowns' dates from the 1460s and was originally a hospital.

Housed in a cellar of the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, the space opened in 2000 as a theatre to host performances of the music students. The stunning Lichtenstein Palace was build in the 1590s, converted from a number of renaissance town houses and aristocratic residences. Its look today dates from the 1790s after a major reconstruction where the buildings were unified by one single facade. There are 27 bollards decorated with heads along the front of the building commemorating the 27 men that the Lichtenstein family had executed in 1621. Divadlo Inspirace has been a Fringe venue since 2007.

This renovated space is located in the baroque vaulted cellar of the Queen Bee House (U Včelí královny) still owned (now for over 300 years) by the Demartini family. The building was located in the Bishop's apiary hence the name. In the late 1700s Johan Demartini manufactured soaps and perfumes here (when the adjacent two buildings were joined together) and in the early 1800s it was the only building in Malá Strana to have an industrial chimney (still standing today). The Demartini's were exclusive suppliers of perfumes to the imperial court in Vienna till 1918. Café Club Míšeňská has been a Fringe venue since 2017.
