Prozak


Prozak has become a bit of a cult joint for music aficionados, and a great, original place to dance and party. Cutting-edge musicians of all types are invited from around the world to rip it up in this basement club, which has now developed a loyal, passionate following. You'll have to ring the bell at the unprepossessing door, any time after 4 pm, and wait to be admitted. There's a small cover charge for live music concerts, and a loyalty members card scheme if you plan to visit more often. Great antidote to the standard disco fare, this club has plenty of attitude. Love it or loathe it.

"Having just returned earlier this week on a 6 dude Stag do, Prozac was the first club we went to and it lived up to all the good reviews, Place was fairly quiet early on (we arrived about 9pm) but it soon got busy, We had a brilliant time in there so much so at least to of our party returned the next night (albei the saturday was quieter) I found krakow to be a decent place to visit if you are wanting good beer at good prices, One evening we hooked up with some locals of a similar age, who allowed us to join there company and we had a good night again, Would go back in a flash and certainly back to Prozak.

"I don't know if it's just me but since Matt posted his terrible exp. with the bouncer, place got a lot quieter and empty lol Oh, The power of the internet. No more "Face selecta". Can't really feel sorry for them...got what they deserved for hiring a bouncer like that. "

"Been to the club many times...never really liked it. Maybe I went on the wrong nights, but it was always the weekend. Don't see what the big fuss is about really. As for the bouncers...well, what can you expect from animals like that? I am not saying all Polish people are animals, but some men I have seen behave horribly...very violent. With all the good looking women, you would think that they would be a lot happier? I know I would...and I certainly would not be trying to fight people when I could be talking to beautiful women. These animals should go live in the jungle like monkeys!"

"Luckily i've never experienced anything like that in krakow, but i do hear you. I've been in bialowieza once and there you dont want to run into the local youth. If you are drunk and returning home, you are likely to run into some youngster who have nothing to live for and are looking for a fight. I was beaten up quite severely, and was unable to walk for months since they were jumping on my ankle several times while i was laying on the ground. krakow remains to be one of my favourite cities in europe, but my view of poland is altered forever after my exp. in the country-site. they ppl over there advised me not to go to the police since they would not hear my story, as i'm a foreigner and was drunk myself. I heard similar stories from many young people who have been there. If anyone plans to go there, let it be a lesson to everyone to return home early and sober. "

"Went to this club at start of April with 2 friends. After my friends were allowed entry, the lady said that I had drunk too much to come in which was fair enough. When it became clear I wasn't going to be allowed in I went over to the door to wait for my friends to join me. Out of nowhere, a huge shaven headed bouncer hit me so hard in the chest that it felt like I had been hit with a bar. As I lay on the floor, he hit me repeatedly in the head and didn't stop until I was covered in blood. For the next 2 weeks my head hurt and I had to go for X-rays. It took 2 months before the pain in my chest had gone. I can honestly say that I wasn't aggressive in any way at all, vocally or physically.Even after he attacked me, it took me so much by surprise I still didn't react.One of my other friends turned up to see the state that I was in.He spoke with the manager who said the bouncer's name was Matthew.We tried to ask people to call the police but when some blokes in uniform turned up they listened, didn't say anything, started laughing then got back in their car. As my friends started taking photos of their car they were then sprayed in the face with CS gas. We decided it was then a good time to leave.I have been to many nightclubs and bars around the world in the past 10 years and never had anything remotely like this. Maybe I was just unlucky. Apparently, the bouncer said that I was about to charge the door which is crazy.From the many reviews that I have seen, this would seem to be an unusual experience and I know many people who have had a good time in Krakow but it is the only time in my life that I have been the victim of a completely unprovoked attack and it ranks alongside the worst nights of my life. It cetainly soured my view of Poland and I won't be returning.Posted in case this man still works there."

"After reading everyone else's reviews I feel I either didn't go to Prozak at the right time, or the right day! I went last week (Monday and Wednesday 26 and 28th Jan) between 8 and 10pm, and found the place was quietish, with locals in. The staff were very friendly and eager to try and work out what we were saying, which when my friend started talking about piercings, wasn't the easiest! Drinks wise, fairly priced. Feel a little let down, I expected it to be a bit livlier, like I say maybe the time and days I went wasn't the greatest to see this club at it's best, but I'd happily go again. I only stayed at the bar, didn't venture the other rooms, next time I go I want to try the water pipe with flavoured tobacco - 30zlotty for the big pipe, about 40minutes worth of smoking... 15 quidish?? Not too bad I guess..."

"The best club without doubt in Krakow. This rates as one of the best clubs I have ever been to and I have been to a lot! This place always has great Djs playing a loose field of Breaks, Techno and even RB and Hip Hop but its always banging! I went with a Polish friend last night and I thought it was better than Frantic (which was still good). I rate it highly because it really is a maze of a club with loads of hidden corners, rooms and corridors. I went on a Monday night and loads of sections of the club were shut yet it still felt as if it was a Saturday night and the club thought not massive still had a big feeling to it even with closed sections. Polish staff as friendly as ever as usual to a English guy like me. Highly if not massively rated. Rates in my top 5 clubs I have ever been to."

"Amazing place. Visited every night this weekend. As is well documented on here aleady, the bouncers enforce their policy of only allowing the good looking crowd entry. We were a group of 6 lads and were initially refused entry on Saturday night due to the fact they thought we were with the other group of 20 shitfaced English idiots kicking armbands across the road. Once you're in make sure you explore every nook and cranny of this place. The people are an amazing blend of beauty from around the globe. laying a good range of music from hip-hop to funky house, Prozak will not disappoint. I'm missing it already!Big Hi to Anna, Ulrika, Irlya and Therese from Stockholm xxxxxxxx"
