Swieta Krowa

About

One of the most laid-back bars in the Old Town, Święta Krowa is an intoxicating alchemic elixir of alcohol, incense, candlelight, cloves and ambient eastern grooves. Hidden in a small, soulful brick cellar off Floriańska, 'The Holy Cow' inhabits two oriental sitting rooms slung with prayer flags, low cushioned stools and two lofted lounge areas. Amiable barmen conjure a range of invigorating alcohol infusions and this is the perfect hideaway for a cold mojito in summer or hot krupnik in winter (and maybe an opium nap). A highly recommended cult hangout.
