Here we go blowing the cover of all the best places in Wrocław again. As if the nightlife options of the marketsquare and surrounding streets were in some way exhaustible, In Your Pocket gives you the inside track on where else in Wrocław to discover an indiscriminately high number of illicit, inconspicuous drinking dens. First stop has to be the Ruska courtyard known to locals as ‘Pasaż Niepolda’ (E-4, ul. Ruska 51). Just west of the centre in a courtyard connecting Ruska and Św. Antoniego Streets, make your first left off Ruska after crossing ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego (A-3) and you’ll be quite pleased and surprised to have found one of the top student drinking parties in the city. With about a dozen bars and clubs clustered around this one passageway, you almost expect that it’s fair game to take your beer with you from one bar to the next (it’s not). The highlights include Metropolis, Bezsenność and Niebo - one of which you can pretty much guarantee yourself to be clamouring out of cursing the daylight. Next stop is Bogusławskiego Street (A-5) and the tippler’s trail of bars beneath the train tressle. Just east of Wrocław’s main station, here you have a dozen or so dark, intimate
pubs predicated on good times and better beer. This row of tiny topping-up stations offers narry a dancefloor, but beer lovers will have a proper field day with a different strong, cheap and delicious Czech brew at virtually every establishment. Finally, those looking for a real adventure should go snooping around the abandoned Wrocław Świebodzki train station at Plac Orląt Lwowskich (E-4). By abandoned we obviously mean full of hidden, slightly seedy nightclubs including Senso and Wagon Club, the latter of which doubles as a completely random and recommendable place for an afternoon beer outside.
