This is really an OK place and nothing to get excited about. Order beer or simple drinks as with anything else, its a bit of a gamble. It's a nice studenty place, with a flavour of old Krakow, but thats it. There are far better places in the same square, like Propaganda and Baroque I preferred. More

Definitely visit Alchemia if you're in Krakow, especially if you're staying in Kazimierz. The atmosphere is unique and eclectic, and there is a great mix of people. Drinks are very reasonably priced. Bartenders speak great English, and their desserts are also delicious! More

Fun mix of people and music. The atmosphere is eclectic, and there was no shortage of conversation. A great mix of people, lots of languages, and the bartenders were great with their English. More

Amazing location, music and drinks! Totally loved the atmosphere and if you're hungry after a night of drum'n'bass dancing, the best zapikanka place is right across the street. Try the raspberry flavoured beer :) Highly recommend this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More

Great quirky place, good location, nice atmosphere and prices, shame we couldn't stay for the late night Jazz cellar!! Give it a go! Also there is a stall on the market selling 'Zapikanski's' which is like an open baguette pizza. These are really good, when you start to see the locals coming in with them go to the market and...

Me and my cousin met someone on our way who recommended this bar. We went there on the first night and were really impressed with the sheer uniqueness of the place. If you go here and go to the toilet, please have a look behind the door to your right when you walk in, I had a good ol' laugh.... More

Had read about this place but was also told about it on the free walking tour. Quirky and fab and suits all ages. We went there twice and loved it. Great beer and vodka! More

One of the best bars in the area for atmosphere. Sells amazing hot chocolate (try it with cherry liqueur) and also very nice wheat beer. The sandwiches are well worth a try if a bit peckish...only problem is they're only small and they leave you wanting more!! Would definitely go back here when I revisit krakow! More

This place is very chill...much like the rest of Kazimierz. Come here with some friends for a couple of brews and enjoy the dark, candle lit atmosphere. And across the street at the square, you will find the best zapiekanki sandwiches to end the night with. More
