Nine cocktail bars that Kraków locals and guides recommend most, from hidden speakeasies to a ten-seat gin bar.

1Rumour Cocktail Bar
Old Town · Tram: Teatr Słowackiego
The take. The place for rum: ask for a house creation or let the team pick a bottle for you. Open late on Friday and Saturday, a good last stop before leaving the Old Town.
3Mercy Brown
Old Town · Tram: Filharmonia
The take. Kraków's best-known speakeasy, behind an unmarked door on Straszewskiego, with live jazz and burlesque on show nights. It is small, so book or come early, and note it is closed on Mondays.
William Rabbit & Co
Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica
The take. Find the secret door and step into an Alice in Wonderland set; the Mad Hatter with gin, cinnamon and peach is the house classic. Book ahead for Friday or Saturday.

8TAG. cocktail bar
Old Town · Tram: Teatr Bagatela
The take. Plush room and creative drinks such as the West Side with gin, peanut butter and passion fruit. Book a table, and remember the door closes half an hour before closing time.
