My twin brother Stephen and I had just been over to the very fascinating Podgorze District of Krakow ,walking back over Father Bernateks Footbridge over the mighty River Vistula we dropped into one of the many boat bars on the river ,the one we chose...was Barka ,a great boat bar I've visited many times on previous visits to Krakow. Barka is a once famous Dutch cargo boat built in 1889 ,in fact this particular boat was actually featured on a Dutch postage stamp so it must have been quite famous in it's day. The boat bar itself is awesome ,the way it's been decked out is fabulous ,atop deck there's a cool looking serving bar and lots of seating options,below deck is even more impressive ,great decor and furnishings and again a great looking serving bar and lots of seating options ,it's just a great boat bar to chill out in,we actually stayed up top,a very pleasant member of staff served us beers from Litovel Brewery ,this is a great beer from the Czech Republic ,beers were served in tip top condition ,we sipped our beers and took in the great views of the river . I must say the beer was really good,a golden lager ,hoppy ,bursting with taste and very easy to drink ,it was just so good being in such a fantastic boat bar enjoying a freezing cold beer sat with my twin brother Stephen ,best beer companion in the world. We enjoyed our beers and visit before we moved on and as on all previous visits to here we had a great time. Barka is easy to locate on the River Vistula by Father Bernateks Footbridge along Bulwar Kurlandzki. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,open from midday till very late. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.More
