An Easy and Punctual Meeting Point
The tour begins promptly at 9:30 PM in front of the PKO Bank building on Dworcowa 6. This central location makes it straightforward for most travelers to find and join. The meeting point is near public transportation, reducing travel hassles late at night, especially after a day of sightseeing or exploring.
The First Stop: Happy Hour with Unlimited Drinks
Once gathered, your guides will lead you to the first bar, where the true socializing begins. The highlight here is the one-hour of unlimited beer and vodka shots, including plain and cherry flavors. This ‘happy hour’ sets a lively tone, encouraging group chatter and making it easy to break the ice.
The unlimited drinks are a major selling point, especially for those wanting to start the night with a bang and keep the energy flowing. However, for travelers unaccustomed to heavy drinking or looking to pace themselves, it’s good to remember this is a focused hour — after that, the drinks are on your own tab.

The Heart of the Night: Bar Hopping Around Market Square
Following the initial drinks, the group embarks on a crawl through 4 or more venues around the Market Square. The exact bars may change each night, but the experience guarantees free entry at some of Katowice’s top nightlife spots. This allows you to explore the area’s best bars, from casual pubs to lively clubs, without the hassle of covering entry fees.
The guides’ local knowledge shines here, as they choose spots based on vibe and flow, ensuring the night remains fun and dynamic. The walking between venues is minimal but energetic, with the guides providing a bit of context and local tips along the way.
The Final Club: Keep Dancing or Wind Down
The tour concludes back at the last club, where you’re free to stay and dance into the early hours. If you’re still feeling energetic, you can stay longer at the final spot or revisit earlier venues for free, thanks to your included entry passes.
This flexibility is a real plus. It allows you to tailor your night — whether you want to continue enjoying the music or wind down and head back. The overall duration of about 5 hours balances enough time to experience Katowice’s nightlife without it feeling rushed or overly tiring.
