It was said once that there are two ports in Poland – Gdynia and Kraków. That may explain why such a famous tavern has opened right here. Located just a few steps from Main Market Square, "Stary Port" is probably the only place in Kraków with the unique climate of an old tavern.
Each time I'm here, I feel like I've boarded a ship, which can take me to any place on earth that I can imagine. I enjoy the music of sailors (which is the most common music here), chatting with my friends. This is a great place to hang out with friends - not too loud, not too bright - with its special mysterious climate.
"Old port" in the middle of our historical city centre gathers the biggest fans of sailing in one area. The pub organizes a lot of events, such as shanty music concerts, where you can not only listen to music of sailors, but also sing along with its fans.
It offers a wide range of toasts (Captain's toast is my favourite), so you don't need to worry in case you get hungry. Looking for a company to take you on that cruise you've always dreamt of? This is the best place to find one! You'll find a lot of different advertisements all across the club, just take the contact details with you.
