Cocktail bars

Best cocktail bars in Kraków

Nine cocktail bars that Kraków locals and guides recommend most, from hidden speakeasies to a ten-seat gin bar. They are ordered by a blend of Google rating and number of reviews, so places that are both well rated and widely visited come first. The author's own scores will be added after personal visits.

Trzcina1

Trzcina

Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica

score soon

The take. Tell the bartender what you like and let them build something off menu, that is what this bar does best. Grab a table on Meiselsa early in the evening and watch Kazimierz fill up.

Rumour Cocktail Bar

Old Town · Tram: Teatr Słowackiego

score soon

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.

Mercy Brown3

Mercy Brown

Old Town · Tram: Filharmonia

score soon

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.

Closed · opens 18:00 tomorrowGoogle 4.8 (2,284)
4

The Trust

Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica

score soon

The take. A gentlemen's club feel, a seasonal menu with drinks named after hit songs, and a calmer pace than Plac Nowy. Go on a weekday evening for a proper conversation over a drink.

Closed · opens 17:00 tomorrowGoogle 4.9 (1,374)
5

Gin Mill

Stradom · Tram: Krakowska

score soon

The take. About ten seats and more than a hundred gins, so arrive right at opening or expect to wait. Ask for one of the Negroni twists from the seasonal list.

Closed · opens 18:00 tomorrowGoogle 5.0 (675)

William Rabbit & Co

Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica

score soon

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.

Open now · till 00:00Google 4.8 (893)
Hedwig's7

Hedwig's

Stradom · Tram: Stradom

score soon

The take. Drinks under a 9-metre ceiling in a former chapel, the most striking room on this list. Come early for cocktails and conversation, or late on Friday and Saturday when the DJs take over.

Old Town · Tram: Teatr Bagatela

score soon

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.

Closed · opens 19:00 tomorrowGoogle 4.8 (602)
9

Sababa

Kazimierz · Tram: Miodowa

score soon

The take. Middle Eastern flavours in the glass, try the Tel Aviv Martini. Small and dark upstairs on Szeroka, and on Friday and Saturday a DJ turns it into a party.
