Łódź Kaliska

Top choice in Łódź


With its open-door policy, this renowned pub/club attracts a broad cross-section of Łódź society. The unusual decor – stripped-back walls covered in cheeky suggestive photos from the bar's namesake group of conceptual artists – fits well with the dim red lighting and boho atmosphere. In summer the crowds spill onto an outdoor terrace above the alley, under a web of lightbulbs above.
