Kraków: Pub Crawl with Open Bar, VIP Club Entry & Games

Summary

Nightlife in Kraków starts wild at Rynek Glowny with open bar

You’ll meet your party crew right in Kraków’s main square before hitting four or five bars and clubs with a local guide leading the way. Enjoy an hour of unlimited drinks, join wild drinking games, skip lines at every venue, and let a pro photographer capture your best (and worst) dance moves. It’s loud, messy fun — but you’ll leave with real memories.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I thought I’d just have a couple of beers and maybe sneak out early. But standing under the neon glow outside St. Mary’s Church in Kraków’s main square, wristband already on, it was impossible not to get swept up. Our guide (I think her name was Kasia?) handed out the first round of shots like she’d done this a thousand times, grinning as she explained the rules for some Polish drinking game I still don’t understand. The city felt alive — you could hear the trams rattling somewhere close by, and that mix of cool air and cigarette smoke hung around us.

The open bar hour went by way too fast. I tried vodka with apple juice (tastes better than it sounds) while someone from Spain challenged me to flip-cup — lost miserably, but nobody seemed to care. Every place we stopped felt different: one had sticky floors and 90s hip-hop, another was all dark wood and candlelight. The best part? We never waited in line; Kasia just waved us through like we were regulars. At some point, our group started picking up random people from other countries — there was this guy from Ireland who kept making everyone laugh every time he tried to say “na zdrowie.”

Honestly, I didn’t expect to feel so connected with strangers in just a few hours. The photographer caught me mid-laugh more than once (not my most flattering angle). By the last club — lights flashing everywhere, music pounding — I realized I hadn’t checked my phone all night. That’s rare for me. Walking back across Rynek Glowny after everything ended, the square almost empty except for a couple of street cleaners and the echo of music fading behind us… yeah, I still think about that feeling sometimes.
