Where to drink in Kraków at night? Kazimierz: the bars here are door to door, from Plac Nowy to Józefa and Dietla, and many stay open until three to six in the morning. Eszeweria is from my own list of saved places; the other seven are recommended by travel guides and bar guides (34travel, Goodtime Monty, Culture Trip), and I checked each one on Google: still open, rated 4.5 or higher. The descriptions are put together from Google Maps reviews; I haven't added my own notes yet. Old Town cocktail bars have their own article, and the overview of the city's bars is here.
Prices are Google's average spend per person, valid as of 11 October 2026. Rate: 1 zł ≈ $0.26.

According to Google Maps reviews (4.9 from 1,300+): many call it the best cocktail bar in Kraków. At the door they take your coat, show you to a table and tell you the story of every drink; some cocktails come with a small snack. The bartenders read your taste precisely, the interior is striking and the music well chosen; early in the evening there's sometimes live music.

Google Maps · website · Bożego Ciała 12½
According to Google Maps reviews (4.8 from 880+): an underground bar with an Alice in Wonderland theme, and finding the door is part of it: look for a picture of a hand pressing a buzzer and a rabbit, speak into the intercom, and someone comes up to take you down. The bartenders happily riff on classics and go off menu; for the White Rabbit you name your favourite flavours and they build a drink around them. It opens, as a rabbit would, at 17:17. 34travel recommends it too (article).
Gin Mill

Google Maps · Facebook · Józefa Dietla 49
According to Google Maps reviews (5.0 from 660+): a tiny bar for gin lovers, where the bartender can talk you through gin history and infusions alike. The cocktails are unusual: a clear Tiramisu and a New York Cheesecake that taste exactly like the desserts, and the truffle negroni gets praise too. Water comes with your drinks, and there are snacks like olives. Space is very tight, which is exactly what guests like about it.
Kazimierz classics
Alchemia
Kazimierz · bar & café · 20–40 zł (≈$5–10) · daily 9:00–2:00, Thu until 3:00, Fri–Sat until 4:00
Google Maps · website · Estery 5
According to Google Maps reviews (4.5 from 6,800+): a bar running since 1999, with candlelit rooms, old furniture and painted walls, and a terrace on Plac Nowy that's good for people-watching. Fair prices, filling food, vegetarian dishes. You order and pay at the bar. A fun detail: when the toilet is out of order, guests are sent to the café next door through a secret passage in a wardrobe.
Singer
Kazimierz · bar · 20–40 zł (≈$5–10) · Mon–Wed 9:00–2:00, Thu 9:00–3:00, Fri 9:00–6:00, Sat 10:00–6:00, Sun 10:00–2:00
Google Maps · Estery 20
According to Google Maps reviews (4.6 from 4,200+): old Singer sewing machines instead of tables, well-worn furniture and an atmosphere that hasn't changed in years. Self-service, a smoking room and tables outside. Beer, wine and cherry vodka; a 0.5 l Tyskie is 19 zł (≈$5), a negroni 46 zł (≈$12). Open until six in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays.
Eszeweria
Kazimierz · bar with a garden · 20–40 zł (≈$5–10) · daily 10:00–2:00, Fri–Sat until 3:00
Google Maps · website · Józefa 9
According to Google Maps reviews (4.7 from 3,200+): a hidden bar with antique furniture, candles and incense. The main thing is the spacious garden out back, where on a warm evening you'll want to stay longer; umbrellas cover it when it rains. Quiet in the daytime, busy at night; three beers on tap and fair prices.
Beer
Szklanki
Kazimierz · craft beer bar · 20–40 zł (≈$5–10) · Mon 16:00–23:00, Tue–Wed 16:00–0:00, Thu 16:00–1:00, Fri 16:00–2:00, Sat 14:00–2:00, Sun 14:00–23:00
Google Maps · website · Jakuba 19
According to Google Maps reviews (4.7 from 1,400+): a bar with a big craft tap list, from stouts to sours, plus wine on tap. Downstairs there's a cosy courtyard and a covered terrace full of plants; upstairs, a roof garden made for sunsets. A little pricier than the other craft bars in the area; busy at weekends, and hot upstairs in summer.
Stara Zajezdnia Kraków by DeSilva
Kazimierz · brewpub · 40–120 zł (≈$10–31) · Mon–Wed 17:00–22:00, Thu 16:00–23:00, Fri 15:00–0:00, Sat 12:00–0:00, Sun 12:00–22:00
Google Maps · website · Św. Wawrzyńca 12
According to Google Maps reviews (4.5 from 6,200+): a huge brewpub in a restored old depot building, with concerts and sports on screens. Nearly everyone praises the food, and service is quick for a place this size. The house beer divides opinion; some find it too sweet. In summer it's a good spot for a big group.
One last thing
Kazimierz cocktail bars take Mondays off: The Trust and Gin Mill are closed. On a Monday, start at Szklanki and finish at Alchemia or Singer, both open every night until 2:00 or later.
