Miejsce Bar
There's a Scandinavian feel to this small bar in Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter of town, but the drinks are definitely Polish: have a (strong) vodka and apple juice while you sit on beautiful chairs and admire the young, cool clientele. Gay tourists are welcome too.

Cafe Golebia 3
A real local's haunt, Golebia 3 is a classic Cracovian café attracting student study groups, chatty artists and lovey-dovey couples to its dimmed lights and chilled-out music.

Address: 3 Ulica Golebia | Telephone: 012 430 2419 |

Stalowe Magnolie
Everything is coloured red in this trippy bar on Jana street, and all the fairy lights and bizarre furnishings will leave you feeling a little bit drunker than you probably are. There's live music every night, ranging from karaoke singers doing Rhianna, to respected DJs and former Polish X-Factor contestants.  

Address: Ulica Jana 15 | Telephone: 12 422 84 72 |

Prozak
Recently reopened with a new skip in its step, this classic Krakow maze of a club is back with a new focus on fresh club music - as well as promoting the rising Polish wave of house and techno artists such as Catz n Dogz and SLG.

Address: 6 Plac Dominikanski | Telephone: 012 429 1128 |

A relatively new addition to the scene, Rozrywki Trzy has already made its mark as the city's top Old Town destination for late-night drinks and the best local hip-hop, techno and bass DJs.
