Szczecin Entertainment

  1. Brama Jazz Café

    Housed in the Baroque Royal Gate, another fragment of lost history, the Brama has a DJ playing different styles of jazz on Tuesday nights. Have a drink in the relaxed outdoor area beneath a stern circle of carved Prussian eagles.

  2. Christopher Columbus

    This bar-restaurant, boasting an attractive timber-lined interior, overlooks the river and its less than fascinating dockyards, but you can always turn your chair to face the nearby Naval Academy. The curved bar resembles a boat, and there's a vast beer garden. Jazz and swing music is on Monday and Tuesday evenings respectively.

  3. City Hall

    The basement of the massive Red Town Hall packs in up to 400 mad-for-it clubbers for some of the biggest nights in town, featuring rhythms from soul to house to R & B. The best night is Saturday, when Berlin DJs often hop over the border to play here.

  4. Mezzoforte/Zielony Abażur

    This Italian restaurant leads a double life as one of Szczecin's hippest bar-clubs, with a different musical flavour on the upstairs stereo everyday, and guest artists laying beats in the basement at night. The outdoor seating on the cobblestone mall is a great place to sip a beer.

  5. 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.

  6. Winiarnia Bachus

    Classy wine bar offering outdoor seating overlooking the square in front of the town hall and it serves up beer, spirits and wine, though the selection isn't as broad as you'd expect. There's also fine food on the menu, including snails.
