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 at the moment.
-
Café Artzat
This low-key café just north of the landmark Church of St Elizabeth is one of the best places in town to recharge the batteries over coffee or tea and a good book.
-
Café Uni
As the name suggests, this is student central, a traffic-cone's throw from the main university buildings. Semi-slick décor - red leather chairs, glass bricks, neon, fake palms - and noncheesy music set it apart.
-
Grotowski Institute
Wrocław is internationally known for its avant-garde Laboratory Theatre (Teatr Laboratorium), created by radical director Jerzy Grotowski (1933-99). Founded in 1990 in the theatre's former home, the Grotowski Institute has a complete archive and several documentaries on the Laboratory Theatre and invites various experimental groups, often from abroad, to give performances in its small theatre.

Jazz Club Rura

Jazzda
Looking for a John Travolta kind of evening? This central café-club with lit-up multicoloured dance floor and strobe lights will fit the bill.
-
Kalogródek
Hidden behind some rough-looking wooden hoardings, the big, stepped terrace here is like a playground for students. Darts and cheap beer (the local brew Piast) make sure it's generally heaving, even when the weather's uncooperative.
-
Klub Radio Bar
Loud, proud and oh-so-central, the Radio Bar is an essential stop for first-timers and anyone aiming to dig the scene.
-
La Luz
This American-owned wine bar and pub is housed in a 13th-century guard tower and is a superb retreat from the hubbub of the Rynek.
-
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.

Novocaina
Another Rynek café-restaurant that dons its party duds late in the evening, this neo-Gothic wet dream with plasma screens and intimate nooks and crannies attracts a fashion-conscious crowd.
-

-
PracOFFnia
Housed in what was a prison in the Middle Ages, below a well-concealed courtyard, this eclectic place crammed with old cameras and projectors is Wrocław's most interesting boozer.
-
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.
-
Spiż
Poland's first microbrewery bar-restaurant is buried in a basement under the town hall, with harassed staff scurrying around the copper vats to serve the voracious clientele.
