We write this blog from the perspective of a venue that knows Zakopane from the evening side. Le Scandale is three spaces at one address at ul. Zaruskiego 5: Aperitif Bar open daily from the morning, the cocktail-focused Cocktail Room and Music Loft, the nightclub playing on Fridays and Saturdays until 5:00. From that point of view we describe where to eat in the centre, where to have a properly made drink and what the nightlife of the town really looks like.
You will find practical guides to clubs and bars in Zakopane, texts about cocktails with specific brands and recipes, advice for groups planning a hen night, a stag night or a company trip, and seasonal topics: New Year's Eve, name day parties, school holidays and long winter weekends. Everything checked on the spot, with prices and opening hours, without tourist generalities.
Where to go out in the evening in Zakopane?
The easiest start is at ul. Zaruskiego 5, 300 metres from Krupówki, where three Le Scandale spaces sit at one address. The evening starts with dinner and a drink at Aperitif Bar, moves to Cocktail Room around 21:00, and after 23:00 to the Music Loft dance floor. Thanks to that the whole plan for the evening closes without changing address.
Are there nightclubs in Zakopane?
Yes, and the longest open club in the centre is Music Loft at Le Scandale, which plays on Fridays and Saturdays from 21:30 to 5:00 in the morning. A different DJ leads every weekend, and 16 VIP tables are arranged around the dance floor. We publish the line-up for the coming nights on the events page.
