Im going to Krakow at the end of the month with the lads and just wondering if anyone's been? Decent clubs to go out? Bars to pre drink at?

Also we've taken the decision to go see Wisla play after confirmation via email that we would be 'welcome in our stadium'.
 

Come on guys, give Nic lots of information about all the cool places to go in Krakow.

Cause i'm going in July and i wanna know too :) All i know about it is its near Auschwitz and my mate wants to go there.
 
I went to Krakow for a mates stag weekend at the start of Feb. It was really good, so I can't remember that much of it! Its quite a weird place in that you see signs for pubs off the main square and they are through a doorway, down an alley and then up some stairs etc. We did spend the weekend fairly paranoid that we would wake up in an ice bath missing some vital organs after venturing into a pub/club we shouldn't.

One really good pub I can remember was CK Browar, its the pub with the biggest sign saying 'Pub' which sells beer in massive tubes of about 5 litres so you can just help yourself at your table. The prices seemed fairly reasonable aswell. Had some food in Roosters which was pretty good, the waitresses wore the tightest outfits! To be fair all the Polish girls were fit - they don't seem
to have an obiesity problem over there. The Irish Embassy is an irish sports bar which was quite a safe bet, but still a pretty decent pub. Most of the small pubs were alright and priced ok.

We struggled a bit with the clubs, went to a couple (can't remember their names though) and I'm sure we were fleeced in both of them (not badly, but just a little). There were no prices for drinks and I'm sure they take a look at you and then decide how much to charge you. It wasn't a rip off but just seemed a lot more expensive than the pubs. Apparantly the way around this is to ask for a drinks menu before ordering. Be careful with the clubs, we heard there was one which was more of a scam than a club which kept being shut down for ripping people off.

There was a good Gents club, which I also can't remember the name of above KFC - I know that description doesn't sound good but it was actually the best one by some distance.

I was surprised by how good the locals English was, better than than most of the Polish people I have met over here. A taxi from the airport to the main square was about 80 slotti for a car or about 130 slotti for an eight seater, you could even get the train in.

Enjoy your trip, it should be a good one!

Thanks for taking the time to write that mate. Yeah we've heard that some places will try to rip you off for being English. We all went to Prague in October so became wise to it and we always went to an Irish or English bar or pub to ask where the best clubs to go to were, so we'll be doing that again. Yeah we need to find a decent gents club as well. Heard some of them lock the doors behind you and demand you give them all your money or you're screwed. Thanks again! Will keep a look out!

Pre-Glasnost though ...

Krakow is absolutely brilliant and its unbelievable how cheap everything is. Almost every single woman is unbelievably attractive and you really rarely see someone youd say "i wouldnt" to.

One word of warning, for some reason, they tend to hate the English, like really detest them, so keep the talking down to a minimum going into places and past bouncers. Also stay out of trouble because you'll just get beaten up by the police there

I'm deffo starting a petition to have the Polish Zloty renamed Slotti. Sounds so, so much better ^^
 
Go somewhere where the sun is shining, the beers are ice cold and the women are tanned and well up for it.
