A cloakroom sounds like the least interesting thing a venue can offer, right up until you are in a warm underground room in January holding a heavy winter coat with nowhere to put it. In Krakow, where winters are genuinely cold and the club is one floor below street level, it stops being an afterthought.
The vaulted stone cellar holds heat well, which is excellent for the atmosphere and means that whatever you needed to cross the Old Town in becomes surplus about thirty seconds after you arrive.
How It Works
Coats are taken at the entrance and reclaimed at the end of the night. It is a straightforward attended arrangement rather than self-service lockers.
In practice this matters most between roughly November and March, when nobody reaches the Old Town without a serious coat. In summer it goes largely unused.
Luggage Is a Different Question
The cloakroom handles coats. It is not set up for suitcases, rucksacks or the kind of bag people arrive with from Kraków Główny or the airport.
If you are coming directly from a train or a flight, leave the luggage at your accommodation first. If that genuinely is not possible, call before you arrive and we will tell you honestly whether anything can be done rather than have you turn up hopeful.
Dress for the Room
Because the coat comes off immediately, dress for a warm cellar rather than for a Krakow street. Guests regularly overdress for the venue because they were thinking about the walk.
In summer the opposite applies mildly: the stone vaults keep the room comfortably cool, so a light layer is not a bad idea even in August.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a cloakroom?
Yes, an attended cloakroom at the entrance. In a Krakow winter it is essential rather than optional, since the cellar is warm and coats become surplus immediately.
Can I leave a suitcase?
The cloakroom is for coats rather than luggage. If you are arriving directly from a train or flight, leave bags at your accommodation, or call ahead and we will be honest about what is possible.
Is the club warm in winter?
Yes. The vaulted stone cellars hold heat very effectively and the venue is a single enclosed space, so the weather stops being a factor once you are inside.
Should I dress for the street or the room?
The room. The coat comes off at the door, so guests who dress for the walk across the Old Town often find themselves overdressed for the cellar.
Is it cool inside during summer?
Comfortably so. The stone vaults maintain a steady temperature year round, which makes the cellar pleasant even in August.
