PRL
The dictatorship of the proletariat is alive and well in this tongue-in-cheek venue inspired by communist nostalgia. Disco lights play over a bust of Lenin, propaganda posters line the walls and red-menace memorabilia is scattered through the maze of rooms. Descend to the basement – beneath the portraits of Stalin and Mao – if you’d like to hit the dance floor.

Klub Sarp
The riverside area around the southern end of the Old Town is a hotbed of pubs, clubs and restaurants, and SARP is a top contender. This split-level setup in a former granary is run by the local Association of Polish Architects and, with its blackened wooden beams and whitewashed walls, looks as though it’s been transplanted from Tudor times.

Enklawa
Red and orange dominates this space with comfy plush seating, mirrored ceilings, two bars and plenty of room to dance. Check out the extensive drinks menu, hit the dance floor or observe the action from a stool on the upper balcony. Wednesday night is 'old school' night, with music from the 70s to 90s.

Prozak
A legend in its own lifetime, this nightlife giant was once celebrated for luring Kraków’s rich and beautiful into its labyrinth of passageways, nooks and crannies. It still draws in the clubbing faithful, but too may (drunken) foreigners have scared away the local talent.

Soho
This long-time hot spot still hasn’t lost it. Haunt of the cool people, including scenesters, celebs and fashionistas, Soho goes for a surprisingly rough-cut retro style: brown walls, pink and yellow stripes, and red lighting fixtures to set off the glamorous crowds.

Music Bar
Not for serious clubbers (you know who you are), this complex, with a large bar in a covered courtyard and the rather chichi Light Box Gallery (open 6pm to 4am Thursday to Sunday) up the glass stairs, mostly attracts a young crowd.

Trezor
An unpromising entrance with an appearance halfway between the Tardis and a Portaloo, hidden in the courtyard back from the street, leads down into three floors of good old-fashioned hedonism. For over-20s only.

Viva
The self-proclaimed ‘Number One in the Tri-City’ is still a top spot around for all-out spectacle, hosting vast beachfront dance nights with all the eye candy and hi-tech wizardry it can muster.

El Sol
This Latino club reverberates to the sound of salsa, merengue, samba and bossa nova. Tuesday night is salsa night (with lessons), while Thursdays cater especially to the Columbian community.

Bezsenność
With its alternative/rock/dance line-up and distressed décor, ‘Insomnia’ attracts a high-end clientele and is probably the best club in town currently.

Balsam
A unique club, located inside an old military fort. It’s good for lunch during the day but clubbers hold court at night and party hard under its vaulted ceilings.

Aquarium
Soaked in UV light, the basement Aquarium brings on some top dance nights, including an entertaining kitsch funk party. It’s serious clubbing for over-21s.

Metropolis
This humungous place has two dance floors, one on the ground floor with dance and techno, and a piano bar in the cellar. It’s something of a meat market.

Dekadencja
Arguably the best dive on a street of dives. Decadence is the kind of place you’ll come to and never leave. Legendary club nights.
