Budda Drink & Garden


Upon entering the impeccably renovated courtyard leading to the bar, you begin to catch the vibes of the smooth music emanating from within. The chilled beat, flavored with hints of native Indian tones, leads you through a stained-glass entrance. The place is a bit tight, but you investigate nonetheless. At once, you note the tall, turban-like structure leading upstairs. Upon closer inspection, you discover it's the perfect setting for a gathering of your "circle" of friends (you'll know when you see it...). The cool colors on the wall keep you in the mood. You accompany that special someone in the cosy vestibule on the side - perfect for a private conversation; besides, the Kama Sutra decor does all the talking (viewer discretion advised). You're home; you're at the Budda Drink & Garden.

"Went there during the day on saturday, had a few daiquiri's and was really impressed. That said, went back in the evening with my missus and another couple and was refused entry by the bouncer on the grounds of being too drunk!!! Ordinarily i would say fair enough, but i was stone cold sober...we were gutted, the guy was a real prick about it!!! Next time I'm in Krakow, i will give this place a wide berth"

"This bar was by far one of the coolest in the whole of Krakow. Set in a courtyard off the main square this place is laid back with great music. Its a small bar and this gives adds to the cosy relaxing feel. If your in Krakow definately worth a visit - so different from most of the tourist filled places on the square"

"We liked this place so much we went on two different days. Originally when I noticed the sign off the court yard, I wrongly assumed it was a Thai restaurant, but is only a bar and a great one at that. Apparently the owner imported much of the decor from Thailand, though the kama sutra frescoes are Indian I think. Anyway, it all went together to create a great place for a beer or coffee. The staff were great too, especially the student surveyor who was into Nick Hornby novels."

"This bar is a must for fans of chilled out music. In the summer, you can sit in the garden at nnight with it's dim lighting and enjoy the music, the plethera of stunning beauties and the atmosphere. In the winter, the bar staff are so attractive, you won't mind sitting in the small and cosy bar."

"Without doubt the best bar I have ever been to. During the day it is superb for a coffee whilst reading a book or paper (although you will love the hot chocolate). In the evening it is wonderful for beer, cocktails and for having a wonderful time with your friends. The bar staff are not only amongst the prettiest in a city that boasts attractive women as standard, but they are friendly and helpful that is unusual to those of us from England who are not used to this kind of approach to service. I was so impressed I spent more time at this bar than I did at my apartment."

"On my way back from Zakopane, Ski Paradise, Poland I visited Krakow Buddha Bar with an old friend by almost a total coincidence. I certainly thought (living in the US) that I better take it easy at my age. But the Buddha Party turned into an off the hook, outta control ageless dance of friendly semi gods. Needless to emphasize the friendliness and prettiness of the Polish. This went beyond anything imaginable even there. One of the best parties of my life. (and maaan I've been to a few) Thanks Jonna and Dominique and all the others I can't recall by name. Peter"
