Alchemia

Take a comfortably worn-in space, fill it with shabby-chic furnishings and a diverse clubbing crowd and add massive exclusive musical and cultural events voila, you have secret recipe to Alchemia’s long-lasting success. Stationed in a modest-looking building in the heart of Kazimierz, the old Jewish district turned contemporary-arts and bohemian nightlife centre, this street-level club draws legions of freethinking artsy types, enthusiastic nighthawks and partygoers with a soft spot for high-flying jazz, blues and experimental acts. The decidedly flash-from-the-past interior of retro funky furniture, wall fixtures and nostalgia-filled knickknacks may remind you of your grannies house but they create a uniquely indie space for serious socializing and down-to-earth drinking. Those in search of creative alcoholic chemistry should beeline to the bar, for skilful barstaff are known for their alchemist-like artistry in concocting dangerously desirable drinks.
