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!

Last Wednesday I have visited the Club for Grzegorz Turnau private concert. It is the place we all…read moreknow who ever been around Uni events. The Club is very informal and cameral place, chairs are brought for people as much as they can accommodate themselves around. I was seating on the stairs in the middle and had superb view of the stage and all artists. The sound was great as for not the biggest room and I did enjoy the concert greatly. All artists performed fantastic and atmosphere was amazing. I remember all songs but years I haven't heard them so for me was great experience too. The band and Grzegorz seemed to enjoyed it too so all together made me feel really great , even next day. I had double vodka with coke on the rocks and lemon-all was served and measured perfectly and staff was really great. Yes, I did like whole experience and many funny things were happening too...but the ideas belonged to artists.

Położony w sercu miasteczka studenckiego AGH stanowi sztandarowy punkt na mapie imprezowej każdego, kto w kulturze szuka inspiracji i niezaprzeczalnych wartości. Na scenie klubu gości co roku czołówka polskich i zagranicznych artystów. Wielu z nich wypowiada się o klubie, jako o miejscu magicznym, z pozytywną energią i aurą prawdziwej kreacji i tworzenia. Koncerty, kabaretony, festiwale, imprezy z zakresu szeroko pojętej kultury to zdecydowanie mocna strona klubu. Mocna do tego stopnia, ze hasło "idziemy na koncert" w Krakowie jest tożsame z "idziemy do klubu Studio". Od roku 2011 takiego zabarwienia nabrało również hasło "idziemy na kabaret". Został bowiem powołany cykl Studio Kabaretu, który zakłada studiowanie sztuki rozbawiania widza, jej każdej warstwy i płaszczyzny.

The concerts are upstairs in what was most likely a private home of very wealthy people. Check with your hotel or tourist information for specific dates and times. Seated upstairs, we faced a baby grand piano. A docent introduced the piano player and the composition to be played, followed by a formally dressed man who bowed, sat and played. It was so nice. Well, not understanding how to behave, our little group of four applauded after the piano man played a pretty complicated set of measures. At that, the piano man stopped playing, stood and bowed to us in thanks. We did it one more time and finally realized that this is not what is done. A bit embarrassed, we changed our behavior, holding our applause until it was over. A nice evening, for sure.
