For more than a decade, the New Province has been a meeting place for intellectuals, students and gourmets and a place that is always friendly, quiet and very pleasant.

Read morePijalnia Wódki i Piwa is a chain with franchises all over the city and in every town in the country. Its founders understood one thing: offering good vodka blends at low prices, with responsive service, is all that Poles demand when they go out at night. Wódki i Piwa is a must for all those who want to enjoy their evening, it's a matter of 5 minutes between the entrance, the order and the shot. Always crowded on weekends. We recommend the lemon and porterwodka shots.
BANIALUKA
Read moreTogether with its brother Szczepański Square, it is simply the beating heart of Krakow's nightlife. It's THE place to go for cheap beers, a cheap vodka/snacks combo or a slightly mediocre meal on the go, but one that serves its purpose well in preparing the stomach for the night ahead. The place is busy all day long, but in the evening it fills up little by little with its public of young people and students on the go. Big atmosphere at the end of the week. Try it if you want to experience a typical Krakow evening!

HEVRE | BAR & RESTAURANT
Read moreLe Hevre is a hybrid bar-restaurant-cultural center, partly to justify its installation in the premises of one of the abandoned synagogues of the neighborhood. The setting is incredible and the rehabilitated rooms showcase this former place of worship very well. The high prices for the city's standards drive away the young people and students, who usually frequent the local bars, and there is a more affluent and less party-oriented audience. On sunny days, the high windows aligned along its length give it a fairy-tale air.
TAURON ARENA

Find its rich program alternating between shows for children and the family, legends of rock and variety, world tours of artists in vogue and contemporary circuses. If you book early enough, you can even see one of your favorite artists in Poland at a very competitive price.

The terrace at the back is a nice little hidden green area (you can order pasta and Pierogis from Warsztat and eat them here). An excellent spot to relax in the middle of the day in summer.

One room is dedicated to live music, transmitted by screen in the rest of the alcoves, decorated with many drapes and velvet. You can also dine here without worrying about Polish and Italian cuisine.

It has a long history of dissent against the communist regime and was a den of the intelligentsia, with acidic and committed shows.

It is a student meeting place.
