What Is the Pub Crawl Krawl Through Krakow?
This tour is designed to give you a hassle-free night exploring Krakow’s nightlife scene. It’s run by experienced guides who know the city well, aiming to provide not just drinks and venues but a fun, social experience. It’s a mix of local favorites and well-loved clubs, packed into a 5-hour window that begins at 9 PM in front of the Adam Mickiewicz Monument in the main market square.
The tour is priced at just over $27 per person, which, given the inclusion of VIP entry, welcome shots, an hour of unlimited drinks, and prizes, offers good value. Most people plan the tour about 11 days in advance, so it’s a popular choice among travelers wanting to lock in a night they won’t forget.
How Does the Itinerary Unfold?
The starting point, the Adam Mickiewicz Monument in the bustling main square, is perfect for soaking in the vibrant city center before heading inside the venues. Once underway, the guides lead you to four different bars and clubs. While the exact venues are not listed, reviews mention that these are some of the best spots in Krakow, known for their lively atmosphere and central locations.
Each venue offers a unique vibe, with some more techno-heavy, as noted by one reviewer, and others featuring karaoke or different music styles. The guides facilitate a smooth transition between venues, making sure everyone is accounted for and comfortable.
What to Expect at Each Stop?
You’ll enjoy a welcome shot at each venue—an easy way to break the ice and get the party rolling. The VIP entry means no waiting in lines, which is definitely a perk during busy nights. The guides also organize fun contests and hand out prizes, adding a playful element to the night.
One of the highlights is the hour of unlimited drinks, giving you the freedom to relax and enjoy without constantly reaching for your wallet. There’s bottled water too, which is helpful after a few rounds. The bar staff are generally friendly, and a professional photographer is on hand to capture the fun moments, ensuring you can look back on the night.
The Guides and Group Experience
Most reviews praise the guides—Benjamin, Elly, Alberto, Ross, Leandra, and others—calling them friendly, attentive, and fun. They keep the group moving, making sure no one feels left out, and ensure everyone gets their fair share of drinks and attention.
Some travelers, however, noted that larger groups could make it hard to get drinks quickly, which is understandable given the setup. Still, the guides work hard to keep everyone engaged and together throughout the night.
The Atmosphere and Vibe
From the reviews, the overall atmosphere leans towards energetic and lively, especially at the later venues. One review mentions a “great night out” in a karaoke bar, while others describe the music at some clubs as techno-heavy. If you’re not into intense techno beats, be prepared for a loud environment, but know that the guides try to accommodate different tastes.
Travelers also mention that the tour is a solid choice for solo travelers—they feel safe, welcomed, and able to meet new people easily. The social aspect is a big part of the appeal.
Is It Worth the Price?
For just over $27, you’re getting VIP access, welcome shots, an hour of unlimited drinks, prizes, and a professional guide. When you consider how much a night out in Krakow can cost at individual venues, especially with line waits, this package offers a lot of value.
Some reviews note that the drinks in the first bar can be weak, and the shots are sometimes poured into mouths rather than sipped, which might not appeal to everyone. However, the overall experience, especially with the included extras, makes it a reasonably priced way to experience Krakow’s nightlife.
What Are the Downsides?
A few reviews mention that the tour can be quite loud, with some venues playing techno music that might not suit all tastes. Group sizes can be on the larger side, which could hinder quick drink service or intimate conversations. Also, since the tour is geared toward getting drunk (as one reviewer pointed out), it might not be ideal if your goal is a more laid-back or sophisticated night out.
Plus, the tour runs rain or shine, but you might find it more enjoyable in good weather, as the outdoor meeting point and walking between venues feel more comfortable.
Who Is This Tour Best For?

This pub crawl is perfect if you’re after a lively, social night with minimal hassle. It’s especially good for solo travelers or groups who want to meet people from around the world. If you enjoy a party atmosphere, with contests and free-flowing drinks, you’ll likely have a blast.
However, if you prefer quieter venues, more relaxed evenings, or softer music, this tour might feel a bit intense. Also, those who dislike techno or large groups might want to consider different options.
Final Thoughts
The Pub Crawl Krawl Through Krakow offers a fun, well-organized way to explore the city’s nightlife without the stress of planning each venue. The guides are highly praised for their friendliness and ability to keep everyone engaged, and the inclusion of VIP entry and unlimited drinks makes for good value.
This experience is best suited for travelers who want to party, meet new people, and get the most out of Krakow’s vibrant night scene. It’s not a quiet or romantic evening, but if you’re looking for loud, lively, and social, it’s a solid choice.
Just remember that it’s geared toward drinking and partying, so plan accordingly if you want a more subdued experience. The night will fly by, and with it, the chance to enjoy some unforgettable moments in Krakow’s energetic nightlife.
