Harris Piano Jazz Bar, Krakow

Krakow stands as a city deeply committed to fostering a vibrant music culture, with its pulsating heart residing within the revered Harris Piano Jazz Bar. Nestled within the esteemed confines of Market Square, this establishment holds the distinction of being the sole venue in Poland, and only the second across Europe, that hosts live concerts every single day of the week.

Since its establishment in 1997, the Harris Piano Jazz Bar has provided an intimate backdrop for captivating concerts and dynamic jam sessions, inviting the audience to actively partake in crafting unforgettable evenings. Each week brings forth a diverse array of events, including jazz, funk, Latin, blues, and rock jam sessions. Traditional jazz aficionados find solace on Tuesdays, while Fridays resonate with the melodies of blues and rock 'n' roll. Saturdays herald a splendid variety of music presented by both Polish and international artists. Beyond music, the venue hosts an array of cultural affairs such as book launches, photography exhibitions, and engaging workshops.

Within the depths of this expansive subterranean music haven lie three distinct chambers. The concert room, intentionally designed to forge a connection between musicians and the audience, exudes an intimate ambiance that elevates the musical experience. Adjacent to this is a tranquil space, providing an ideal setting for leisurely conversations while tuning into live performances displayed on a plasma screen. The bar, boasting one of the city's lengthiest counters, offers a tantalizing array of beverages. Noteworthy is the fact that both the bar and the interior were envisioned by the gifted artist Krzysztof Ludwin.
