Krakow: Pub Crawl with Open Bar, Karaoke & VIP Club Entry

Summary

Nightlife in Krakow’s Old Town with open bar & local laughs

You’ll jump straight into Krakow nightlife with four bars, an open bar hour (seriously unlimited), free shots at each stop, karaoke chaos, and VIP club entry without waiting in line. Expect laughter with locals and travelers alike — plus photos you’ll probably laugh about later.

What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you step into Krakow’s Main Market Square and the air just hums? That’s how our night started — street musicians echoing off old stone, neon flickering on wet cobblestones. Our guide, Kuba, waved us over like we were already friends. He handed out wristbands and grinned, “First stop — don’t be shy.” I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Krakow pub crawl but figured, why not?

The first bar was tucked behind some faded wooden doors. Inside smelled like lemon vodka and something sweet I couldn’t place — maybe ginger? There was this soft thump of bass under the chatter. We had one hour of unlimited drinks (beer, vodka, gin…honestly lost track), so everyone loosened up fast. I tried to order in Polish; Kuba laughed and corrected me (“It’s piwo, not pivo!”). The group was a mix: solo travelers swapping stories, two girls from Berlin teaching us a drinking song I still can’t pronounce.

We hit four bars in total. At the third place they set up karaoke — I got roped into singing something 90s with a guy from Manchester who knew every word. There was a photographer darting around snapping candids (I’m bracing myself for those Facebook uploads). Each spot had its own vibe: one with velvet couches, another where the bartender juggled bottles. By midnight we skipped the line at this club pulsing with house music — VIP entry felt weirdly glamorous after all those shots.

I remember stepping outside at 2am and feeling that cool Polish night air hit my face. The city looked different — softer somehow. Maybe it was the vodka or maybe just being surrounded by new friends who’d been strangers hours before. Either way, I’d do this Krakow bar crawl again in a heartbeat.
