Old Town · Tram: Teatr Słowackiego
The take. The safest bet for a big choice: 20 taps and over 150 bottles, plus a quieter cellar room downstairs. Order at the bar, and note it is closed on Sundays.
Nine multitaps, brewpubs and craft bars that Kraków drinkers and guides name most often, from the Old Town to Kazimierz. They are ordered by a blend of Google rating and number of reviews, so well rated and busy places come first. My own scores will be added after personal visits.

2Old Town · Tram: Teatr Bagatela
The take. Not a multitap but a proper brewpub, with beer brewed in the room since 1996. Get a beer tube for the table if you are in a group, and eat something Galician.
3Kazimierz · Tram: Św. Wawrzyńca
The take. A local favourite that grew from Dolne Młyny into a bigger space in Kazimierz. Check the live tap list online before you go and pair a pint with the Neapolitan pizza.
4Old Town · Tram: Teatr Bagatela
The take. The entrance is easy to miss, but upstairs is a large room with 25 taps, mostly Polish breweries. Staff will pour a taster, and the fries are worth ordering.
Old Town · Tram: Basztowa LOT
The take. The Pinta brewery taproom on Floriańska, good for a pint of Atak Chmielu where it belongs. Most half-litres cost 19 to 28 zł, stronger specials more.
Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica
The take. Right on Plac Nowy with around twenty taps, neon lights and a big garden. Go early on summer evenings for a garden table, and order a smash burger.
Kazimierz · Tram: Plac Wolnica
The take. A smaller, calmer Kazimierz multitap with plenty of taps and a decent spirits shelf. Good for a quieter round before the busier bars around Plac Nowy.
