Absynt

Apparently a homage to the green fairy, though the only absinth we noticed on sale was the Polish variety - it won’t make you lop your ear off, but it will make you feel like road kill. Read_on (1 Comment)

Alchemia

One of Kraków's most evocative bars, aptly-named Alchemia perfectly captures the sepia candlelight, forgotten photographs and antique intrigues of the former Jewish district. Read_on (2 Comments)

Artefakt Cafe

This cult cafe/bar offers a wide range of events and happenings that lure Kraków's hipsters and artists to its friendly confines like flypaper. Read_on (No Comments)

B15

A small, colourful and artfully eccentric bar that aspires to be as hip as its neighbour, Love Krove. Bright furnishings, wall Read_on (No Comments)

Barfly

Barfly is tailor-made to be the launching point for a lark around Kazimierz. You can spend hours looking over the cover pages of The Times that decorate the walls and admiring the Jack Daniels bottled décor. Read_on (No Comments)

Beer Gallery - Kazimierz

A beguiling jamboree of reproduction 18th-century furniture and cutting-edge décor sets the stage for a friendly affair populated by chirpy locals and over 100 beers including the fabulous La Trappe and Kozel to name but a couple of tipples. Read_on (1 Comment)

Cafe & Club Kalashnikov

Cafe & Club Kalashnikov
On first glance Kalashnikov looks like a slender, low-key cafe/bar with limited seating, but further investigation Read_on (No Comments)

Cafe Młynek

Cafe Młynek
For many years the best cafe south of ulica Józefa (before ul. Mostowa and Podgórze began to develop), Cafe Młynek Read_on (No Comments)

Esze

Esze
Featuring all the familiar accoutrements of a Kazimierz bar, including smokey mystique, apathetic service and random furnishings, Eszeweria's Read_on (No Comments)

Eszeweria

Perhaps embodying the spirit of Kazimierz more than any bar not directly on Plac Nowy, Eszeweria's old world antiques, candelabras, Read_on (No Comments)

Kawiarnia Naukowa

Music and mayhem inside what must be the least polished venue on ul. Szeroka. With a reputation for being Kazimierz's most Read_on (No Comments)

Kładka Cafe

Kładka Cafe
A large, airy cafe populated by vampy fashion majors and murals of friendly monsters who look like they've stepped from a dream or the fantasy world of the film Mirrormask, Cafe Kładka is the latest in a line of hip cafe-bars to hit Mostowa Street. Read_on (No Comments)

Kolanko N°6

Kolanko N°6
One of Kazimierz's most under-appreciated venues, Kolanko has plenty going for it. The main attractions have to be the large garden with plenty of summertime shade and winter warmth, and the concerts that take place in the venue space beyond it. Read_on (1 Comment)

Kraina Szeptów

Typically Kazimierz, this friendly, two-floor, laid-back cafe/bar is as good as any for filing away at the fiber of your youth. Read_on (No Comments)

Królicze Oczy

Combining that quintessential Kazimierz aesthetic of tarnished beauty with a strange sense of sinister absurdity, spending too Read_on (No Comments)

La Habana

La Habana
This Cuban bar and neighbouring 'Propaganda' seem to harbor a certain longing for oppressive regimes; fittingly, they're both a bit dark and downtrodden these days. Read_on (No Comments)

Le Scandale

Le Scandale
Some of the best cocktails in Kraków - test the Bahama Mama - served inside a series of sleek rooms that throng with Bond girls and people who look like they may well be minor celebs. Read_on (No Comments)

Les Couleurs

Les Couleurs
The quintessential thinking man's cafe, Les Couleurs is a special favourite among Kraków's aging, dog-faced bohemians, androgynous hipsters who wear oversized, non-prescription glasses and anyone with a laptop. Read_on (2 Comments)

Manzana

Here’s the deal, on the right side there’s the restaurant, on the left the bar. Both look superb, making use of black shiny surfaces, huge plants and dimmed lighting. Read_on (No Comments)

Mechanoff

Behind the copper-plated bar are any number of once cutting-edge, weird and wonderful contraptions which will have you guessing long into the night as to their original purpose. Read_on (No Comments)

Miejsce

Miejsce
Opened by the owners of a retro interior decor store by the same name, Miejsce instantly established itself as Kraków's hipster headquarters. Read_on (1 Comment)

Migawka

With Lokator turning its focus solely to the publishing business, the former manager's mother has kept the old space alive as Migawka, without having lost any of the creative commitment or community that made the old place special. Read_on (No Comments)

Mleczarnia

Mleczarnia
In summer this is the most glorious beer garden in Kraków, and right next to an easily recognisable film set from Spielberg's Schindler's List. Read_on (No Comments)

Moment

From locals to tourists, laptoppers to hipsters, they take all kinds in Moment and seem to know how to please them all. Somewhat Read_on (No Comments)

Mostowa Art Cafe

Mostowa Art Cafe
This seemingly nondescript gallery/cafe/bar is the linchpin in a raft of new venues that have turned this quiet street between Plac Wolnica and the pedestrian bridge to Podgórze into one of the hippest places to hang out these days. Read_on (1 Comment)

Ogród na Dachu Kazimierza

A small and seemingly little-known seasonal garden, this bar/cafe on the rooftop of the Judaica Foundation offers okay, but hardly great, views over Plac Nowy below. Read_on (1 Comment)

Omerta

A cult hangout for local beer connoisseurs, Omerta has expanded to include more tables, a second bar and even more delicious drink options, making it harder than ever to resist this sociable pub. Read_on (2 Comments)

Opium

Dark, moody and a little bit dumpy, this Kazimierz oddball could be quite nice, but attracts an uneven crowd as the suns goes Read_on (1 Comment)

Propaganda

Propaganda
The interior is a dingy museum of curbside communist scrap, from propaganda posters and slashed portraits of Lenin to clunky cameras and chunky radios. Read_on (2 Comments)

Ptaszyl

The name doesn't really translate, but connotes a creepy bird personifying this oddball effort on Szeroka. With tree branches Read_on (No Comments)

Pub i... restauracja eleven

Eat. Drink. Dance. Maybe love. But for sure the first three, unless it’s a weeknight... then it’s just the first two. Read_on (No Comments)

Pub Wręga

This place – often with all the atmosphere of a wake – becomes boisterous and loud when there is live music on (quite often) as local belt-em-out acts of varying quality get the crowd going. Read_on (No Comments)

Semper Felix

Hard to say what the spirit of this place is without turning up in the middle of the night, but by 22:30 on a weeknight, Semper Read_on (1 Comment)

Singer

Singer
One of the first bars in Kazimierz, Singer set the table for all that was to come essentially inventing the evocative aesthetic of cracked mirrors, dusky paintings, rickety antiques and candlelight associated with the district today. Read_on (2 Comments)

Stajnia

Stajnia is a large and unspectacular bar occupying a corner of Kazimierz’s prettiest courtyard - the very same which played a starring role in Spielberg's Schindler's List. Read_on (No Comments)

Stara Zajezdnia

Stara Zajezdnia
After spending decades completely abandoned, this old tram depot (across from the Transportation Museum) has assumed a second life as Kraków's biggest brewery and beer hall. Read_on (No Comments)

Strefa Piwa

For those who approach beer in the same way they approach art, you'll find camaraderie amongst the connoisseurs and beer belly collectors of this small, friendly bar. Read_on (No Comments)

Szafran Cafe

Szafran Cafe
Not the exotic eatery it sounds, this small, cute corner cafe is a nice alternative to the typically gloomy locales of Kazimierz, with young girls swinging their legs from the windowsills as cheerful rock songs play in the background. Read_on (1 Comment)

Tajemniczy Ogród

Packed at nights, it appears the Secret Garden isn’t such a big secret to Kraków’s night-owls. Wicker furniture, warm earth tones and bits of trees pack the interior, adding a Blair Witch vibe to this fairly average Kazimierz cafe/bar. Read_on (No Comments)

Ulica Krokodyli

Doing a bit of a disservice to the Schulz story it steals its name from, Ulica Krokodyli feels like a good effort gone wrong. Read_on (No Comments)

Zaraz Wracam

Zaraz Wracam
A generally unassuming, pretensionless student bar, Zaraz Wracam seems to generate plenty of atmosphere without trying very hard. Read_on (No Comments)

Zbliżenia

Decorated in caramel colours this is a fashionably kitsch drinking den, with low-slung sofas permanently occupied by pin-up blondes. Read_on (No Comments)
