Nightlife in Krakow
Almost all of Krakow's nightlife takes place underground. In recent years, over a hundred underground premises have been built in a small area of the Old Town: restaurant, beer hall, clubs and cafes. Applying some simplifications, this type of premises can be divided into English, Scottish and Irish pubs, traditional in decor and in terms of the offered alcohols. On the other hand, there are the so-called. underground pubs, about specific, a bit of a decadent atmosphere, emphasized by provocative interiors and music. This atmosphere is often co-created by young Krakow artists.
