Vis-à-vis

Vis-à-vis is a bar located at Rynek Główny 29 with both indoor seating and an outdoor area that overlooks the main plaza of Kraków. The inside space is simple and functional, while the outdoor terrace lets you watch people moving across the square.

The bar has ties to Piwnica pod Baranami, a historic cabaret that shaped the cultural life of Kraków since its opening. This connection reveals the long-standing role of such venues in supporting artistic activity in the city.

The bar functions as a gathering place where local artists, musicians, and creative people meet to spend time together. You will see a mix of regular patrons and visitors who come for the social energy and local character.

The venue offers coffee, beer, and traditional Polish food like bigos and bean dishes. The prices are reasonable given the prime location on the main square, and it operates every day.

Guests often sit at the outdoor tables to watch the constant movement and activity on the square. This vantage point makes it a good place to take in how the central plaza of Kraków actually functions throughout the day.
