7 Club
Still hanging in there after all these years, Kraków's oldest gay venue is a dance club at the weekend, with strip and drag shows to boot (and we're not talking a dress code here).
-
Black Gallery
Underground pub-cum-nightclub with a modern aspect: split levels, exposed steel frame lighting and a metallic bar. It really gets going after midnight.
-
Caryca
In the same building as grungy Łubu-Dubu and the erstwhile gay Kitsch is the more trendy and musically risk-taking Caryca on the 1st floor.
-
Ciemnia Club
This is Kraków's premier gay bar with facilities intended for those seriously OFB (out for business). Ring and await appraisal/approval; this is Poland, after all.
-
Cień
The enormous 'Shadow' attracts a perfect (as in fake tans) crowd with house sounds produced by DJs fresh in from Ibiza and great décor. A tough door policy will keep half your mates out.
-
CK Browar
Serious tipplers will head for this microbrewery with its own cavernous drinking hall, and order the home brew in 3L tubes a metre high, which the wait staff bring to your table and fix onto special taps.
-
El Sol
This Latino club reverberates to the sound of salsa, merengue, samba and bossa nova nightly.
-
Kitsch
In the same building as grungy Łubu-Dubu you'll also find the erstwhile gay Kitsch, Kraków's popular last port of call, on the 2nd floor.
-
Le Scandale
Smooth drinking hole with low black leather couches, ambient lighting and a gleaming well-stocked bar. Full of mellow drinkers sampling the extensive cocktail list.
-
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 up the glass stairs, mostly attracts a young crowd.

Nic Nowego
Nic Nowego 'Nothing New', run by a genuine Paddy, is a 'modern Irish café bar' and a welcome addition to the drinking scene in Kraków. It's a bright, modern place with a long bar, great atmosphere and good food.
-
Piwnica Pod Złotą Pipą
The 'Pub under the Golden Pipes' is an inviting cellar bar. It's more sedate than most such places, better suited to conversation than listening to music.
-
Pod Papugami
Pod Papugami 'Under the Parrots' is a vaguely 'Irish' cellar pub decorated with old motorcycles, street-signs, musical instruments and other junk. It's a good to escape to, with its pool table and tunnel-like maze of rooms.
-
Propaganda
This is another one of those places full of communist nostalgia, but so real are the banners and mementoes here that we almost started singing the 'Internationale'. Killer cocktails.
-
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.
-
Rdza
This basement club attracts some of Kraków's more sophisticated clubbers with its Polish house and exposed brick walls and comfy sofas. The more consistent door policy of late is welcomed.
-
Singer Café
Louche hang-out of choice among the Kazimierz cognoscenti, this laid-back café-bar has nothing to do with music per se (is that Serbian pop we hear in the background?) but is a nod to all the sewing machines around the place. Great place.
-
U Louisa
This stylish pub is conveniently located below the main square as you enter from ul Grodzka. Big screens to watch sports and wi-fi throughout rounds out the picture.
-
Wiśniowy Sad
With its old furniture, lacy tablecloths and scattered antiques, the 'Cherry Orchard' evokes the world of Chekhov and serves Russian-style tea and pastries. Sip your Darjeeling to live piano recitals at from Thursday to Sunday.
-
Łubu-Dubu
Grungy joint Łubu-Dubu is an echo of the past, from the garish colours to the collection of objects from 1970s Poland. In the same building is Kitsch and Caryca.
