Alchemia is a MUST when you visit Krakow. Ok the prices are standart, not cheap BUT the place has an enchanting aura. A bit like traveling to Narnia through a closet ;) drinking your thick chocolate on a bed or admiring one of the periodical displays. And in the night.. the basement reveals sounds and vibrations. I've been there quite... More

We visited here in the evening and during the day and enjoyed the feel of the bar. Very unique to Krakow and full of atmosphere. A range of ages and equally comfortable having a coffee or a drink. Chocolate cake amazing.

too much fuss about this place, people say this is the best? we didn't find out why it was ranked so high, it's ok, normal, nothing really special here.

I have been to this bar a few times; a couple with one of my great Polish buddies and recently with my wife and it always delivers. It is dimly lit and Bohenian in style with its copper beer pipes, wall decoration, wooden tables and chairs, candles and so on. Indie sounds act as the musical backdrop to the table... More

I've visited this place a few times, and every time I just love it more and more. The atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly, whether you want some tea or a few pints of beer this place has it all and is sure to cater for you. It's very much a local scene at Alchemia but that shouldn't stop you... More

One of my favourite bars in Krakow. They had beer on tap, including Pilsner Urquell amongst some local, and had Wild Apple and Elderflower Rekordelig. Really awesome interior and the vibe is amazing when busy or quiet.

visited here a few times over the years, it is definitely a nice spot, relaxed and quirky. Make sure you visit the room through the wardrobe or the 3rd toilet door which has a wall behind it!

This is a very cool bar. Its a little dark...with good drinks and tea. There is an adjacent smoking room that you walk through a wardrobe to access. The decor was appropriate for this part of town. We felt comfortable and found the staff nice. There is no table service, so its pretty straightforward. We would hang out there regularly... More

You dream of finding old bars like this - looks like a hovel from outside just on the edge of Flea Market Square, but inside the Harry Potter/ Middle Earth decor is so evocative and the nice touches - a wardrobe acts as a door into one of the rooms, nice. Tank beer as well - top place.
