stary-rynek · ul. Kościuszki 79, 61-891 Poznań

Dragon Social Club ★ 4.3
stary-rynek · ul. Zamkowa 3, 61-768 Poznań
Dragon Social Club on Zamkowa in Poznań's Stary Rynek is the cellar-and-pub gig room that has hosted the city's independent jazz, avant-garde and folk scene for over twenty years.

Pies Andaluzyjski ★ 4.2
stary-rynek · ul. Nowowiejskiego 17, 61-732 Poznań
Pies Andaluzyjski on Nowowiejskiego in Poznań's Stary Rynek is the cinema-named klubokawiarnia since 2015, running indie gigs, theatre, vodka tastings and craft beer in one cellar-and-courtyard room.
Tip: Look for the Buñuel-and-Dalí surreal poster at the door; the courtyard opens in summer and the back room takes the late-night gigs.
KontenerART ★ 4.3
srodka · ul. Ewangelicka, 61-856 Poznań
KontenerART on the Warta River bank in Poznań's Śródka is the shipping-container cultural hub with a sand beach, food court and stage running open-air gigs every summer from late April through September.

Whiskey in the Jar Stary Rynek ★ 4.2
stary-rynek · Stary Rynek 100, 61-773 Poznań
Whiskey in the Jar on Stary Rynek 100 in Poznań is the rock-and-motorcycle steakhouse and bar with live blues and rockabilly weekends and signature jar-served Jim Beam drinks called JARy.
