Bedeutung
Specifying the evening of the current day.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Večerníček' is a cultural icon. If you mention 'dnes večer' to a Czech, they might subconsciously think of the 6:45 PM cartoon time. Czechs often plan 'pivo' (beer) for 'dnes večer'. It's the standard social unit of time for meeting in a pub. Dinner ('večeře') is usually around 6-7 PM. 'Dnes večer' often revolves around this meal time. In Prague, 'dnes večer' can mean the start of a long night out, but the term 'večer' still usually ends around midnight when 'noc' takes over.
No Prepositions!

Use 'Dneska'
Use 'dneska večer' to sound more natural and friendly in casual settings.
