Katowice Nightlife
Katowice’s nightlife is improving steadily, with more and more bars and clubs opening that hold themselves to a higher creative standard. While there was a time when a Saturday night on the town felt like creeping quietly through a cemetery, that has all changed in a hurry with the emergence of ul. Mariacka (D-3/4) as the city’s nightlife headquarters. A pedestrianised three-block stretch that was once all strip clubs and shady gay saunas (ok, those are still there), the city has put a lot of energy into cleaning it up and turning it into the high street it should be. Despite some dreadful urban design decisions including ugly, uncomfortable benches and some imbecilic sculpture art (if we can even call it that), the city is finally seeing results with a plethora of restaurants, cafes, cocktail bars and clubs moving in to give the city centre some buzz. In summer, Mariacka is full of outdoor seating and flooded with people, but there are plenty of other hedonist hideouts to discover elsewhere with the help of this guide. The venues we list below are located throughout the Silesian urban conglomeration, with the name of the town added to the end of the address after a comma (with a map reference if applicable) if it is not in Katowice proper; districts of Katowice are shown in brackets.

great place for being attacked by cougars. yow....Archibar
Probably Katowice's most stylish bar and a bit of a cultural venue and gallery at the same. Worth stopping in even if you're not looking for drink....Hipnoza Jazz Club
Great concerts here, but just as great a place to hang out when there's no concert happening. Really comfortable atmosphere for jazz lovers who don't have their head up their ass....Gugalander
This place is great. During three days in Katowice, this is the only place I met anyone I actually wanted to talk to....Śruba i Przyjaciele
A nicely priced drinking hole in Katowice, particularly for under 30's. ul Mariacka is undergoing major redevelopment & all the sleaziness has been transferred away from this street....WunderBAR
Good if pricey food option in Katowice. Definitely more of a restaurant than a bar. Heavy Polish hints to Germanic cuisine....
