- Neil KLiverpool, United Kingdom617,244 contributionsGreat bar ,hot day sat in the beer gardenMy twin brother Stephen and I were pub and bar hopping around the wonderful Kazimierz District when we dropped into one of our favourite bars namely Eszeweria Bar. I love the look of this bar,untouched by time ,the interior is awesome,vintage decor and furnishings with lots of Art Deco style decorative features throughout this multi roomed bar,a cute looking serving bar and there's lots of seating options spread throughout this bar both inside and outside in their beer garden ,it's just a great bar to chill out in. We were here on a really hot afternoon ,we ordered cherry vodka's and took them into their beer garden which was packed ,we luckily managed to grab a table were we chilled out in the sunshine. We sampled cherry vodka on our visit ,a big fan of the vodka's served in Krakow ,so tasty ,very drinkable and the cherry vodka is dangerously drinkable. We really enjoyed our vodka's sat in the sun before we moved on and as on all previous visits we had a great time. Eszeweria Bar is easy to locate along Ulica Jozefa,a street and area teeming with pubs,bars and restaurants. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,10am till 2am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.Visited August 2022Traveled with friendsWritten August 16, 2022
- adam u1 contributionIncensed gemYou wouldn’t know it by the street, room after room of intimate spaces, with couches, multicolored pillows, and different seating arrangements to suit your desire. Inexpensive drinks. Heard in summer the back courtyard is very nice… after a few drinks the incense does get overwhelming thoughVisited February 2023Traveled with friendsWritten February 3, 2023
- Stuart HGlasgow, United Kingdom284 contributionsIt would be a crime not to try itI've been visiting this wee jem of a bar for about 13 years and just love it. I've read other reviews and will agree the bar staff can sometimes be a bit "nippy", but hey, everybody can have a bit of an Off day. The prices are good, atmosphere is fantastic and I wish I knew what "flavour" the incence sticks are as I'd love to get some. Sure a lot of the place is for smokers, but if you worry about that sort of stuff there is literally dozens of other bars within a 5 - 10 minute walk. The garden is open in the summer and better weather in spring and autumn. It is a bit of a Marmite place I guess but I wouldn't change it for the world and is always one of my first ports of call when arriving in Kazimierz.Visited September 2020Written May 13, 2021

I’d read reviews about bars being a little hidden but crikey this place is. Along a discerning street, no real outside adverts , hides a gem. On entry it looks nothing, even pokey and full. It is a tardis though. Lots of sofas, chairs and tables and even a massive courtyard. Perhaps for warm weather. Lovely staff. I’d longed for a polish vodka. Good recommendation and well priced. Limited on the gin front and wine selection but made up by the vodka. Very polite helpful service. Zero alcohol beer selection was actually good. Tiny bar and no snacks. Unashamedly just drinks! Joss sticks tucked in to corners. Varied clientele. What a wonderful place to spend even a second with even more wonderful friends. You must go! Do not be out off by the frontage!!

Spectacular garden and interior with ambience that will amaze you. In the Jewish Quarter for over 20 years Eszeweria is locals favourite meeting point and place to spend time. Meet local crowd in a hidden garden and enjoy local beer, local wines, coffee and more.

The place is beautiful, very nice decoration . But unfortunately the people who serve you are not very friendly, I even felt uncomfortable when I was served by a blond guy with light eyes, he was super unfriendly. Other than that, the place is very nice. But it would be even nicer, if the people who work there, enjoy being there, their job, and were nicer. After all, customer service and atmosphere is the most important thing, isn't it?

Amazing space. What a garden. Like a secret place hidden in the city. Great selection of natural wines, very good Polish beer. This place is open literally like all day from 10-4 am.

We were recommend this stop by a walking tour guide and popped in on way back for a drink. It's very quirky with great decorating and a nice courtyard type garden at the back with lots of shade from the sun. Very chilled out vibes. Barmaid was rude. No acknowledgement I was standing at the bar waiting (no-one else was waiting) no hello, No please, no thank you. Seemed pissed off we asked for shandies, I explained easily enough what they were and how to make them, it caused her no end of bother though trying to pull a pint of lager with lemonade already in the glass then she just left them sitting and wandered off. Plenty other places for me to spend my money in Krakow so I wouldn't return.

We got recommended this place from some friends who said this was lovely place in the Kazimierz region of Krakow.
We were surprised at how dark the place was but found the wonderful outdoor garden which was absolutely huge and covered in lots of bamboo and foliage which shaded us from the sun.
We enjoyed a trips here and loved it, it’s a great place for a quiet drink and chat or book reading and it feels like you’re really in the local area.
We will definitely be back here next time we’re nearby.

Very cool, shabby chic place with music that is not too loud. Such a shame the cool- looking, closed-off living room area allow smoking :/ Cheap drinks.

Lovely , quaint , magical cosy bar - just like the reviews
BUT ........COMPLETELY RUINED by the fact that 3/4 of it is for smokers and absolutely stinks . Non smokers have a small part of the venue - basically a corridor - where they are crammed in and have a cash only bar.
This is so frustrating because unless you want to stink like an ash tray and can cope with clouds of vile acrid smoke all the photos are of the smoking areas. Yes there is incense but it is completely and ironically drowned out by the stench of cigarettes.
I find this so difficult to understand because this could be one of the areas best finds instead of which due to outdated and highly questionable reasoning it is somewhere that cannot be recommended. NEVER AGAIN .
Unless you are a hapless masochist who smokes AVOID AVOID- there are so many amazing venues in Kazimiesz worthy of ur time and money .
And if anybody from the management does read this by any chance . You are doing your business a lot of damage with this idiocy - the number of people I saw walk through the door and then immediately turn around and walk out ran into the dozens .......

Only come here if you want rude service and to leave smelling like an ashtray. Only a single toilet for the whole establishment which meant big ques and it was very dirty. You can do better elsewhere folks.

All the furnishings and decor of this bar even the doors look as though they have been rescued from skips or recycled friends and family throw away's. Non of the tables match, non of the chairs around the tables match, and the walls look as though they've long been awaitng that finishing layer of plaster. There is one toilet and the bar is 2 meters long. The place is dimly lit mainly by candles and the music is a mix of pop, rock, jazz and traditional polish folk. This place is unique totally Bohemian the style of the place shouldn't work but does, in an amazing way. The beer garden also continues this theme. The atmosphere in this place is both relaxed and curiously unusual, always wonderful and frequently busy. I am a regular visitor to Krakow and always stay in Kazemiriez for the wonderful night life, both bars and restaurants, much better than the old town, and I always come here several evenings per visit. Eszeweria is in my top 10 bars of the world.
