Krakow | Bars, Pubs & Clubs | Kazimierz Clubs

Half lounge, half club, and proof that there’s more to ulica Szeroka than klezmer music and second hand furniture. The red-lit lounge room is the perfect space for after-party moments with its choice of white sofas and understated interior of gas lighters, sculptures and exposed brick walls. The dance floor is more futuristic and fills with sweaty clubbers shaking their hips to house, r’n’b and latin sounds.

This intriguing Kazimierz venue on the other side of the tracks (the Krakowska tram tracks) is still finding its focus. Failing to develop a steady clientele after a big opening, in swooped the former management team of dearly departed B-Side, and with them a string of solid indy rock concerts in t [...]

If you've had enough of smokey, claustrophic cellar clubs, then get thee to this absolutely massive venue on the other side of Kazimierz. Ignore the superfluous number of side rooms, Masada's showpiece is its open, incredibly spacious and versatile main hall with a balcony bar, a stage in the corner for live bands or DJ sets, tons of seating and space to dance. In fact, Masada's biggest shortcoming is the regular inability of its grandeur to create a party atmosphere. Often empty otherwise, Wednesdays are a highlight with sexy salsa nights.

ul. Krakowska 41 (entrance from ul. Skawinska 2)

Open 18:00-02:00
A recent renovation has turned the small, ineffectual upstairs into a place to catch a bite to eat, while descending the stairs you discover yet another subterranean dungeon; and this one more humourless than most. Preoccupied with ultra-aggressive electro music, there's no shortage of people on the dancefloor and Mish Mash has hosted a few good acts, though most of the friction you'll be feeling is between you and the sweaty t-shirt pinned to your tits. An alarming lack of ventilation makes MM almost unbearable and your beer will smell more like a latrine than usual, but we hear that's all the rage in London these days, so right on.

Pozytywka
A stark, industrial motif comes paired with classic dance music and red, blue and green disco lights. It’s completely un-Kazimierz in design, but not in atmosphere. A popular pre-club spot with projections, exhibitions and even strawberries laid out on the bar. [...]

While we admit our disdain for the glut of overly-posh Warsaw-minded clubs cropping up around Kraków lately, come on kids, this just isn't cutting it. Deceptively enormous and truly dreadful, Retro - whose name apparently refers to the few vinyl records and posters of Marilyn Monroe pinned to [...]

A little slice of Warsaw on our dear old Plac Nowy (commence to heaving). Orange-skinned mini-skirted Solarium casualties will feel at home in this modern discoteque of prismatic lights and LED screens against a silver interior with silhouettes of naked girls reclining in martini glasses on the wal [...]
