BOB
A bit of a legend round these parts, BOB's brick and wood interior of brown booths with guitars and cymbals on the wall is reminiscent of an American rocker bar and you almost expect everyone to be drinking out of pitchers.

Bohema
A popular name in this town. Find this bar next to nothing in particular except the restaurant of the same name upstairs. A small

Cafe Iglo
A Gliwice landmark, it's hard to miss this domed beer garden squatting squarely on the Rynek year round. Owned by the same

Carpe Diem
With continents painted on the walls and antique motorbikes with sidecars you can drink in, Carpe Diem seems to embrace a sense of travel.

Cogitatur
Ignore the snobby overtones and what you've got is one of Katowice's best bars, furnished with theatre posters and an imposing red sofa in the middle of the large drinking space.

Drink Bar
Located inside the Best Western Premier Katowice Hotel, the creatively monikered Drink Bar offers an ideal place to relax and take a load off, whether it be via a coffee and the international press in the morning, or a cocktail and a little conversation after work.

Galeria N°3
Mirrors on the walls, an extraordinary jukebox, glass cupboards full of bone china and paintings donated by the locals, all crammed inside a pencil-thin bar that also includes a painfully loud television and a few dartboards.

Goa Club
A nice chill-out venue with several rooms hidden away, leafy prints on the walls, an Eastern flavour and rubbish on the television in the main bar area.

Gugalander
A cult venue draped in darkness and filled with wobbly tables and chairs, Gugalander is an ideal place to meet Katowice's idle artists and queens of the scene.

Hemingway
The best bar in town comes with maritime paraphernalia attached to the vaulted walls, and even a bust of the man himself. Absurdities include a metal shark head sticking out of a wall, while the club downstairs has been known to get seriously lively.

Kato
Once a discreet DIY bohemian art bar, since moving from the fringes to front and centre on Katowice's main street, this hipster hangout has become the place to be seen, losing some credibility and sensibility in the process.

Kredens
A fine pub laid out over several rooms full of eclectic furniture, antique clutter and a laidback crowd listening to Bowie classics,

Kredens
Stuffed with broken-spined books, old luggage, dusty sewing machines and springy sofas, Kredens' dishevelled bohemian

Kultowa
This brick beer cellar pays tribute to legendary Polish anti-establishment rockers Kult, displaying the obsession through a surplus of photos, clippings, posters and lyrics stenciled all over the walls.

London Pub
A traditional British policeman complete with a pointy hat guards the door of this small bar celebrating the sights and sensations of Old Blighty's smokey capital.

Mały Kredens
A great little bar in the spirit of its sister venue, full of wobbly furnishings, candlelight, clutter and clippings on the wall.

Mocca Cafe Bar
A small unremarkable bar near the Jewish Cemetery (just off D-1 on the IYP Katowice map).

Negresco
One of Katowice's most eclectic drinking dens, this maze of strange mismatching rooms, furniture and lighting is slightly too cool for school with its Fashion TV and funky techno music, but still fun to explore.

Piwiarnia Warka
A large bar owned by the Warka brewery, there's a certain comfort to be had from this Polish take on an English sports pub full of exposed bricks, wooden booths, beer and sports signage and several TVs.

Pub Gramofon
One of Gliwice's best venues, Pub Gramofon follows the Krakowian model of hip hangouts with eclectic antique furnishings, candlelight, classic wallpaper and newspaper clippings all over the walls.

Pub Morrison Hotel
This great upstairs tenement space probably deserves a better life than the high school rock and roll collage that it's become, but we guess it's a phase everyone has to go through at some point on the path to adulthood.

Pub Ściana
Ściana is your typical arbitrarily strange Polish pub full of antique mirrors, musical instruments and illustrations ripped from a Renaissance sketchbook.

Red Pub
Long, thin, and indeed very red, this marvellous little boozer at the bottom of a wobbly flight of steps serves a range of cold beers to a friendly bunch of mostly 20-something local men sat in a line at the bar.

Sky Bar
A display of model aeroplanes, cocktails galore and impressive views of the city from the 27th floor of the Altus Centre mark this interesting adventure inside the Qubus Prestige hotel out as one worth further investigation.

Spencer Pub
A stylish English pub with smart wood furnishings, classic black and whites and plenty of green, Spencer is an ideal place to loosen the tie after a grueling week of powerpoint presentations, whiteboard marker fumes and breathmints.

Śruba i Przyjaciele
Katowice's official dive bar seems to be one of the last sauce-slingers standing on what was once a street full of sleaze and spirits.

Stary Port
Seems the further one gets from the sea, the more passionately one pines for it, which might explain this shipwrecked sailor bar in landlocked, industrial Chorzów.

Szuflada 15
Our favourite place to go out in Chorzów and certainly one of the best in the region, this veteran music club and restaurant still feels as fresh as ever.

Wściekły Pies
Full of bare bricks and dangling chains, drawings of blood-drinking rottweilers and other canines too menacing to be kitsch, it's a pretty docile atmosphere for a place desperate to bare its teeth.

WunderBAR
German restaurant by day, lively bar by night. Trust the Paulaner and Warsteiner lager to get your night rolling, and don’t be shy in checking out their food menu either – feast-sized helpings of pigs and cows.

Za Drzwiami
One of Katowice's most interesting and relaxing escapes, this groovy little L-shaped bar is favoured by a young, educated crowd and makes for a fine place to knock a few back in the company of friends.
