Srodziemie (Middle Earth)

A comparatively new addition to the Cracow scene, fans of Tolkien and the world of fantasy should find plenty to enjoy in this cellar pub, but it's not only for Dungeons and Dragons types - this is one of those themed pubs that actually works. It's part of the magic of Cracow that you can cover the walls with mock-Celtic artwork, call your drinks things like the Frodo Cocktail, Arwen's Kiss, Bilbo Baggins or Tom Bombadil and not only get away with it, but actually make something truly memorable. Plus in Summer you can smoke your pipe, hobbit-style, in the garden, whilst inside football matches are now screened regularly.

"the tolkien pub is a Krakow classic. Nice place to relax, and you don't have to be a dungeons and dragons geek to come here."

"Hmph. Went here in October, it was ok. When I came back last week (25/04/07-02/05/07) I went twice and it was shut both occasions, not that late either. Any ideas if it is still open?"

"This place was a good example of what my wife and I really enjoyed about Krakow - individual themed bars rather than the 'chain' 'all the same' outlets you get in the UK. We were probably the oldest people in there as it seemed to attract a student type crowd, but no one shunned us for being 40 somethings and the bar is well worth seeing. The barman, who was probably the only person older than me, was no Frodo Baggins (no offence meant), but was as seemingly all Poles, welcoming and friendly. The only reason why I did not give it a 5/5 was because it was too smoky for my liking. Hobit holes should have good air extraction systems!"

"Quite subdued when we visited, but it was mid afternoon. The Middle Earth theme wasn't as in your face as I expected, but perhaps I just missed it!"

"Bizzarre, strange place - but we have very funny time here with Polish people who can almost drink as much as us from Finland - but our Vodka is better!"
