Wrocław Bars & Clubs
Here's a list of recommendations to help you get started:
COCKTAILS:
Way too many to mention, but notes of distinction go to Wrocław stalwarts Paparazzi, Novocaina and Pod Papugami. Bed Club and Stardust are currently the most exclusive catwalks for celebrity spotting and being seen.
STUDENTS:
The courtyards off ul. Ruska, particularly Pasaz Niepolda, are full of student bars and clubs with Niebo standing out as the area's most damn-the-torpedoes dawn-breaker. Szajba and Manana are two of the best locales for spontaneous booty-shaking, or visit Mleczarnia to mingle with a more civilised crowd.
LADS:
Guinness for football and a pint of Black Gold, while for rowdier revelry Spiz and Bierhalle ably serve their roles with extra sausages. Head to Pasaz Niepolda off ul. Ruska (E-3) for the easiest insider pub crawl in town.
COUPLES:
Paparazzi is not the poseur paradise it sounds, but a perfect place to kick off your evening with a romantic drink. A glass of wine and panoramic views at La Terazza is also a smart move. Head to Salvador as things get more intimate before finishing the night with jazz at Ragtime or a turn on the dancefloor at Schody Donikąd.
ALTERNATIVE:
Wrocław has an admirable indy/alt scene with Niskie Łąki being the choice for new wavers, Kultowa for grunge rockers, and Stefa Zero the ultimate dive for tattooed head-bangers. Drop in Złe Mięso (see Restaurants) to join the vegan activist crowd.

Mleczarnia
We've been mainstays at this dusky, back-street, candlelit pub since our first days in town. Hidden in an enchanting courtyard with the White Stork Synagogue and a glorious oak tree, the summer beer garden is fantastic, while the sepia interior of wobbly furnishings and framed sketches captures an ethereal, nostalgic atmosphere better than anywhere else in Wroc's former J Read on

Mañana Cafe

Eter Club
If you're sick of brick cellars, head to this thoroughly modern marvel for a lesson in grand dance-club design. One of the city's top venues, Eter (Ether in English) looks the part with dazzling professional lighting and an incredible sound system - put to good use while hosting some of Wrocław's best concerts and events.
