Ptasiek Cafe

Barely a day passes in the old Jewish District of Kazimierz without some new bar or cafe opening, and Ptasiek has now added its name to the long list. Unlike many of the other new ventures however, which are often shamelessly uninventive and characterless places, Ptasiek boasts bags of charisma and style. The homely ground floor cafe is the perfect place to play chess, read the newspaper or check your email via WiFi besides a roaring fire, whilst the distinctive cellar, with its racing green leather sofas and stools, hosts eclectic concerts and parties guaranteed to put Ptasiek on the nightlife map. For those who enjoy nothing more than a piwo in the sun, then be sure to check out cafe's superb beer garden during summer.

Really cosy place, lots of concerts! recommend

Ps: I have a feelign that most reviews are written by pub staff (like English Footbal club or other touristic place!)

Ptasiek is a sure value! check out Omerta in Kazimierz for a great beer tasting experience!

Benefits from being slightly off the Plac Nowy stomping ground. A cool, laid back hangout with some live jamming downstairs if you want to pick up tempo...

A real find this. We were at night, and it was very softly lit. Seemed to be some kind of jazz concert going on downstairs. Laid back spot that seems to have a loyal cast of regulars.

Its perfect place with perfect music & live concerts

wow, ptasiek is really a breath of fresh air in Krakow. Cool individual decor that is different to anywhere else in Krakow, great programme of events, and good looking - but not pretentious - people. Make a beeline for it!
