Stara Zajezdnia in Kraków's Kazimierz is the brewpub in a former tram depot: four house beers brewed on-site, a courtyard beer garden, full Polish-grill kitchen.
Tip: House pilsner is the order; the Wheat beer the spring pour. Courtyard beer garden in summer.
Address: ul. Świętego Wawrzyńca 12, 31-060 Kraków
Ursa Maior on Kraków's Plac Wolnica is the Kazimierz taproom of a Bieszczady mountain brewery. Six rotating taps plus regional Bieszczady products at the counter.
Tip: Daily through the week. The Saaz Pilsner is the house standard; the concept store sells Bieszczady jams and honeys alongside the beer.
Viva la Pinta on Kraków's Floriańska is the dedicated taproom of Browar Pinta, the brewery that started Poland's IPA wave in 2011. 14 rotating taps.
Tip: The Pinta IPA (Atak Chmielu) is the brewery's defining beer. Seasonal taps rotate weekly.
House of Beer on Kraków's Świętego Tomasza is a 25-tap multitap pouring Polish craft from breweries across the country. Tasting flights, English-speaking staff, cellar room.
Tip: Four-glass flight at 25 zl is the way to taste through; the back cellar room is quieter.
Weźże Krafta in Kraków's Kazimierz pours 25 Polish craft taps and 200+ bottles. Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza alongside; in the Tytano old tobacco factory.
Tip: The Polish-sour shelf is the room's special; outdoor seating in the Tytano courtyard runs in summer.
Multi Qlti Tap Bar on Kraków's Szewska pours 18 rotating Polish craft taps and runs a pizza counter until 02:00. The Old Town room for late-night Polish craft beer.
Tip: Half-pints to mix-and-match; the pizza window runs the cheap-and-cheerful food backup.
