Clubbing in Krakow

With roughly 120,000 students and a growing tourist industry egging it on, Kraków's club scene continues to expand beyond reason, with each successive offing trying to out-swank its predecessor. The main hedonist high streets are Floriańska (C-2/3) and Szewska (B-3) where narry a medieval cellar will be left unthronged by sexed-up students on a Friday or Saturday night. Don't be surprised to encounter weekend cover charges ranging anywhere from 5-20zł at most venues, and don't expect to find toilet paper in any of them after 22:00. For the specifics of what's on daily visit krakow.inyourpocket.com and check out our Events Calendar - giving you a breakdown of all the evening's club nights with one click. Clubs in the Kazimierz district appear in their own section.

Shakers

Actually the name references the cocktail twisting barstaff, but there are still plenty of shimmying posteriors in here. Shakers is your classic Cracovian cocktail club: just snooty enough for the concept to succeed, but not so up it's own. Read_on (No Comments)
