Stara Zajezdnia

Abandoned for decades, this old tram depot has assumed a second life as Kraków’s biggest brewery and beer hall. A large complex of cavernous brick and timber buildings, Stara Zajezdnia’s size is both a blessing and a curse. When the sun’s out hundreds of beach chairs dot the garden, but the impressive main hall - which features the city’s longest bar - is too impractical to open except for special events of over 100 guests (as it happens, they are able to organise events for over 1000 guests). The smaller out-building that serves as the main dining hall can still feel pretty lonely without a large party inside, but if you happen to be in one, do bring it here. Flat-screens are on hand for football and the on-site brewed beers (lager, pear wheat, plum, honey, pineapple AIPA and more) well to wash down the ribs and other traditional fare tailored to complement them; take a bottle home with you for 10zł each.
