If you are in Katowice and in need of good beer (let's face it you will be if you have been…read moredrinking Tyskie/Lech/Zywiec) this is the place to go. For around £2 you can have a pint of awesome local craft beer or a bottle of excellent imported ale. Not to mention the staff are very friendly and really know their beers. There is no excuse not to visit this place :-)

We found this pub only bc of Yelp. It was not easy to find! Hidden on a backstreet with anonymous…read moreentrance below street level. When we stepped in we literally felt like aliens - place went dead silent and all eyes on us. It is very tiny so it was like stepping into a private party in somebodies livingroom. We said hello and got hellos back and everything went back to normal. They have an almost playable pinball game where we spent all evening. This was also a icebreaker - we got a lot of friends even if only one or two spoke English. Don't go here if you are looking for a fancy bar with commercial list music. This is divey and the name says it all. So even if it started out very alienated it is a friendly place where all guests know each other. It is more like going to a friend of a friend's place.

This place acts as a pub at night, but a breakfast joint during the day. I was here for breakfast…read moreand this place was easily one of the best breakfast I've had in Europe so far! It is conveniently located near the main square and there is an outdoor market in the Jewish Quarter right outside. The decor is very rustic and retro, so totally fits the Polish mood. Their breakfast was very fresh, even their eggs tastes so much better than the ones I've had in the U.S. Some of the comments down below mentioned that the servers here are rude. I've had quite the opposite experience. Everyone here was very helpful and someone even swung by to check up on us. I honestly wish I found this place earlier, because I would have totally came back for seconds. Till next time Alchemia!

If you want tasty authentic Polish cuisine for the price of a Starbucks coffee, you must try this…read moreplace! A big bowl of the Borgacz--a meaty and hearty stew--costs less than $4. The sausage (Kielbasa) is also very good. I highly recommend this place. Probably the best food experience of my trip in Poland. It's like a random truck stop, nestled in the woods. We found it on our way back to Warsaw from Kraków.
