Drinks & Nightlife
If you like a hipster-esque pub this is the place to go. We enjoy going out in Kazimierz the most, the bars are filled with candle-lit tables and antique furniture. Alchemia also has amazing food.

Also another typical Kazimierz bar that is filled with fireplaces and candles. They offer snacks, but are better for a drink than for food. Very similar to Alchemia, usually less crowded.
