Best bars in Kazimierz

The take. A grown-up cocktail bar on Węgłowa, near Plac Wolnica, with a seasonal menu named after songs. Good for a date or a quiet round before the busier streets.

The take. Candles, old furniture and a garden at the back. Order a beer or a glass of wine and settle in, it works both in the afternoon and after midnight.

The take. The bar that started Kazimierz nightlife, with old sewing machines as tables. Quiet in the afternoon, packed after 22:00, and at weekends it runs until 06:00.

The take. Old-world interior and a garden across the street that is one of the nicest in the district in warm months. In winter, grab a table inside by the window.

The take. A Plac Nowy fixture since the late 1990s: dark, candlelit rooms upstairs and a cellar with jazz and concerts. Check the concert calendar before you go.

The take. A former prayer house with a painted ceiling, now a bar and café run by the Alchemia team. Come for a drink in the evening, and on weekends stay for the DJ nights.
