Arrived late (2300) on a Friday night after my flight from U.K. I really only found it after seeing all the main eateries in the square closing, went in and found a table in the back room. As you’d expect, it was very busy and the back room seems to be a little neglected by the staff but they were really working hard. It took me nearly ten minutes to get served and sometimes you went ten minutes before you saw another staff member (tip; if you’re having another drink, don’t wait until you’re empty, grab a staff member.) However, all the staff were really friendly and were just busy. Served food until 0130 or 0200 which was good. I ordered a takeaway pizza which again took a while to come but honestly, the value for money was excellent. 3 pints of lager and a takeaway 13” pizza came to about £12. Happy days.

Thank you for review, and glad to hear you enjoyed the pints and the pizza. If was a very busy weekend and I'm sorry the service was not to our usual standard, hope to see again soon.

Food was nice. Some staff were polite. Fast service. However, after ordering they take away your menu and drinks menu straight after ordering. With this being the first time going to the pub I couldn’t remember what drinks they had. I asked a staff member for a drinks menu and she seemed to be a little annoyed by the fact I asked for a menu. Rolled her eyes, etc. The lovely couple sat behind us gave us their menu instead. The pub atmosphere is definitely not one for couples, it’s more of party groups. However, if they expect people to go in and eat as couples or a family, they need to tell certain groups of people to tone it down a bit as all you can hear is their terrible singing and watch them fall over the place. Another downside to this pub is the tables are far too close together, once sat down you are then locked in with the table behind you. Whilst in this pub, we witnessed at least 4 different couples come in, they were annoyed about people being too loud and they left.

Thank you for your review, we do get busy and yes some people do go OTT. We have just opened our new bar which is very different and is geared more towards couples. We serve food and also have live music, if you return to Krakow check it out.

Used this establishment twice and had no problems compared to some recent reviews. The live acoustic music on the night was very good , table service fine and drinks reasonably priced with a good selection. Visited during the day no issues. Can get busy on a night but adds to the atmosphere.

Myself and a couple of pals decided to visit for a spot of lunch. We ordered fish and chips, bangers and mash, steak and a portion of chips. The fish looked like it had been sourced from Chernobyl, the mushy peas were a monstrosity, the "medium rare" steak was so overcooked it resembled a piece of charcoal, the bangers and mash, christ where do we begin here, I honestly didn't think it was possible to ruin this dish as badly as it was. The sausages tasted like they'd been left in a cupboard for the last 10 years and with regards to the mash, you may as well have put a potato with the dirt on the plate. The best dish of all was the cold chips that took nearly an hour to arrive. The owner was incredibly arrogant and rude, he ignored all of our complaints. And finally, they had the audacity to try to charge us for service. If you're in Krakow and get tempted by the Bull Pub, splash some cold water in your face, re evaluate your life and choose somewhere else.

Thank you for your feedback, I will now give my feedback. Regarding your food, I was called over to your table, and you had eaten 95% of the food, if it was as bad as you allege then why did you not inform me at the start of your meal. I suggest you read back through the reviews and see how many satisfied customers have enjoyed our food. As I told you all our food is cooked fresh to order.

So, we all checked out places to eat/drink before we left and they worked out fine. Walking past here, someone says that's meant to be really nice, so we go in. Rammed full, unpleasant atmosphere, got a table, ignored by all staff, even when directly talking to them, overpriced drinks, ordered nachos which came as tortilla chips with cheese on top that had solidified, four staff members refused to stop to give us our bill and only did so when we went to leave. In a town where there are hundreds of nice places, this should be better. Do not recommend.

Thank you for your review, obviously you visited us during the weekend. The bar is very busy during the weekend, the staff are not ignoring people but trying to serve everyone which is a mammoth task. As far as overpriced drinks I don't believe this to be the case, Walk onto the main square where the prices are higher than ours, obviously this is not the bar for you.

Booked a table for 16, when we got there we were shown to a table which would suit 6 people at the most. When we complained they brought two more 2 seater tables. We complained further and were told they don't have anymore tables. We paid for our drinks and left, they had the nerve to include a service charge.

Thank you for your feedback, the table you were given can easily seat 11 people and is the biggest table in the pub. We added a further two tables which gave you ample seating. It was a very busy evening but we managed to accommodate your group. We tried our best but obviously your expectations were something different, there are no other bars than can cater for large groups in Krakow and that is what makes us a popular venue for group's.

We visited this pub in February 2023, on a Friday evening. If you are sat at a table they will come to your table and take your order and then put it on a tab. We moved tables so had to pay our tab before we could move. When we paid cash the server said they would bring us the change and never did. After 20 minutes I asked the server again if she could bring us out change and she was shocked. She said ‘oh you want your change?’ with a shocked look on her face and I said yes. After this we went to the bar to pay for our drinks, so nothing could happen with our bill and we could track it better. However, after paying for drinks they would not automatically give us the change, we had to ask for it. A table next to us was paying by card and when they received their bill, there were two extra rounds of drinks on their bill that they hadn’t had or ordered. The table asked to speak to a manager and said they’d only pay for what they had and the server agreed to change the bill for them. This was incredibly disappointing as we loved the pub and the environment of karaoke, but did not return to the pub. Considering the prices are supposed to be cheap in Krakow, this is not the case in here because they change your bill. During our time being there, we were also asked if we ‘wanted a sniff’ multiple times.

Another of those well located pubs in a high footfall tourist area that sole purpose is to rip people off and give appalling service. We sat outside as it was unusually warm for Krakow in Friday, waited, waited. Went inside was informed by grumpy waitress to order from the bar if were sitting outside. Ordered two beers, gave the barman the money and waited for my 8 zloty change, and waited and waited, no change came, when i challenged the barman he just shrugged. Awful place.

After reading this so called review, I will now give my feedback. First of all we are not in the business of ripping people off, as we are one of the most established bars in Krakow and have been in business since 1993. We have many regular customers (ex pats) and many repeat visitors from all over Europe. Upon arriving at any bar most people will walk into a bar to order drinks, if waiter service is available you would be informed and you could then sit outside. Regarding the comments regarding your change, I do not believe this for one second, as all our staff will bring change once payment is paid, including anyone sitting outside. Instead of writing defamatory comments on Trip Advisor your first thing to do what have been to ask to speak to member of the management team.

came in here every night to drink, watch football and do karaoke, most of the staff were great table service is amazing & it was a great atmosphere with a mixture of people from around the world until the last night when we came in to watch the man city match it was packed we tried to find a table and stood next to one that said reserved one of the waiters came over a tall guy with black bobbed hair & glasses and was quite rude he said that the table is reserved you can see the sign in an ubrupt tone we said we can see the sign we are not sitting at the table we are just standing here to which he said can you see the sign ''read it'' it is reserved you will have to go. the people next to us said he was rude to them when they got in as he told them a table for 2 was reserved there was no signs saying so we left and went to anther bar next door which was a lot more friendly. even though we had a great few nights in this bar the waiter spoilt it for us and we would not return when re visiting poland again in the future.

This was my first holiday back to Krakow since covid travel restrictions have been lifted ,it was great to visit this most beautiful of city's ,our group of 20 plus were in Krakow to celebrate my sister in law's 60th birthday and one of our meeting points was The Bull Pub. Been here lots of times on previous holidays to Krakow ,always had a great time here and so it proved on our latest visits. I love the look of this pub,the interior is superb ,a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room pubby decor and furnishings ,tv's to enjoy the sport and lots of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Maly Rynek. On our visits here we enjoyed beers which were amazing,flavoured vodka's and great burger meals served by staff who made our group so welcomed ,this was a great meeting up pub ,had great times here as always and when we are back in Krakow hopefully very soon we will most definitely be revisiting here. The Bull Pub is easy to locate along Mikolajska,a street and area of outstandingly beautiful architecture and a major tourist destination. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,8am till 2am. Well worth seeking out if you're in the Old Town.

Quick service. Lively. Big screen showing football/rugby. Good choice of drinks, including cocktails. Well priced. Visited twice during our stay. Once on a Sunday late afternoon when it was very busy but still enjoyable and then again on a Tuesday afternoon when it was quieter and more people in for food rather than just drinks.

I am a British expat and manager of a tour shop in Kraków My friends and I were customers here but we will no longer frequent this pub. I was treated badly here by Glenn the manager who had a go at me because I handed a business card to a customer with regards to an Auschwitz excursion. Glenn was rude to me and told me not to come to the pub again I was surprised that he treated one of their best customers that way considering there were almost no people in the pub, maybe this explains why the pub is normally empty lol There are other British pubs on the same street such as ‘Bull Dog’, ‘English Football Club’ where the management are friendly so I prefer to send our customers there from now on , I am in contact with hundreds of British customers who are on holiday in Kraków daily

First of all this is not the forum for this sort of thing, but I will reply to this pathetic review. You continually annoy our customers with leaflets, business cards as they are trying to enjoy drinks and food. If people are interested in tours etc they go to a reputable company and arrange them. The night in question, I had friends visiting and you even approached them and continued walking around the pub annoying customers for an hour. Many of our customers do ask me about information on tours and I send them to a long established company who do not wander around bars plying there trade. I suggest you revisit your business strategy and stop annoying business owners and there customers.

The Bull on Mikołajska is without doubt one of the most touristy pubs in Kraków and the most visited by UK tourist.This is a fantastic British themed pub with a brilliant well kept interior with many interesting features that relate to the UK. Its a fabulous pub thats always busy and a pub that has been here since I first started coming to Kraków many many years ago.It was as always very busy when we went into here early in the afternoon but we were on our way to meet our friends who were here already and had got us a seat. When we visited here we had a few of pints of Tyskie brewery Ksiązęce lager's a really good Polish beer which where served iced cold and price wise on par with other pubs and bars around this area. If you are looking for a taste of the UK then this is the pub for you as it's lively and very popular and very easy to find as its smack in the main tourist area on the little square. (This is my first review of the Bull). Opening Hours. Monday-Sunday-08.00-02.00.

I think this review is meant for another bar /restaurant as we do not have sweet potatoe fries on our menu. I suggest you review where you actually ate.
