Stara Zajezdnia Krakow

Beer in an old depot

Zuzanna from Krakow

""Stara Zajezdnia" in Krakow is a local brewery & bar in an old depot in the Jewish district, Kazimierz. It used to be a go-kart track! Good for friends..."

One of our local breweries is located in the building (and area) of an old depot in the Jewish district - Kazimierz. What might interest you, a few years ago this area was a go-kart track. Since this building was falling to ruin, it needed a general overhaul. Fortunately, it's been renovated and it's now playing the role of restaurant & mini-brewery.

Stara Zajezdnia is a perfect place for a beer while sightseeing around Kazimierz. Even though it may sometimes be crowded, it's also very roomy, so you shouldn't have any problems finding a seat.

The whole complex is very spacious - after passing the gate to Stara Zajezdnia, you'll find yourself in a courtyard, where you can lie down on a sunbed during warm days. There is also a summer garden there - opened for high season, where different events take place (a beer festival for instance). Apart from that, Stara Zajezdnia probably has the biggest beer hall and, as is said - the longest bar in Krakow.

This is my type of place for meetings with friends - since we never know where to go and never make a reservation, we need a place with enough tables to accommodate us. The other reason to come here may be to watch sport competitions. There are 10 big TVs inside and all the bigger sport events are broadcast here.

Krakow Spotter Zuzanna

About me I come from Krakow and spent most of my life here. I grew up in Nowa Huta - East district of Krakow. I studied (of course) in Krakow and even if I moved away a few times, I've always come back. I love travelling and exploring new places. This may be a reason why I studied tourism and why I keep learning foreign languages. I already know some Russian and French and I am happy when I can practise them. I love good food, good company and wandering without a goal around the streets of my city. My first love is Krakow, my second one is Lisbon (a...
