Why Zakopane works for a hen night
Everything is close by. The hotel, dinner, the bar and the club all sit within a few hundred metres, so a group in heels needs no transport. On top of that the town keeps its own weekend rhythm: on Fridays and Saturdays parties run until 5:00 in the morning, and by day there is a fallback programme of mountains, thermal baths and Krupówki.
One thing does need planning: in the winter season and during the summer holidays the best places for the evening are booked in advance, especially for groups.
The plan hour by hour
17:00, an unhurried start. Getting ready, a photo session on Krupówki or a quick recovery after a day in the mountains.
19:00, dinner. Aperitif Bar at Zaruskiego 5 works every day, with the kitchen open until 21:45. A shared table, a menu running from salads to beef tenderloin and the first toast. It is worth holding a table for the group by phone.
21:30, drinks. One floor up, in the rhythm of the evening: Cocktail Room opens on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:30. A round of Pornstar Martini works well to start, and for the bride the sharper Pornstar Scandal with chilli. For those not drinking, the menu has five zero per cent cocktails.
23:00, the dance floor. Music Loft plays from 21:30, but the best moment to walk in is around 23:00, when the dance floor gets going. Every weekend has a different DJ and the music runs until 5:00.
A table for the whole night. For a hen group a VIP table is not a luxury but logistics: your own spot, bags and phones in one place, a waiter instead of a queue at the bar and a base you always come back to.
What it costs
Entry to the club is 40 PLN per person, with discounts for cash payment. The table itself is free, you pay for bottle packages: tables for up to 6 people require one package, tables for 7-12 people require two. Packages start at 600 PLN, for example Grey Goose Aurora 0.7 with mixers, and for champagne groups there are two bottles of Moët & Chandon Impérial for 799 PLN.
In practice: a hen night for 8 people with a table and two packages comes to from 150 PLN per person for an all-night base with service, not counting entry and your own drinks.
Advice for the organiser
- Book the table early. Online on the floor plan or by phone. In the winter season and on long weekends the tables by the dance floor go first.
- Check the dress code. Door selection applies: neat, with no sportswear elements. Hen sashes and headbands are no problem, full costume outfits are better checked by phone.
- Plan for the age of the group. Women enter from 18 years of age, men from 21, ID required.
- Use the cloakroom. It is free, and in winter in Zakopane it is priceless.
- Do not plan anything ambitious for the morning. The club plays until 5:00 and that usually beats an early start up Giewont.
Hen night plus: the whole club to yourselves
For larger groups and combined hen and birthday parties there is the option of private hire of a single zone or of the entire club, with a DJ, sound system, bar and waiter service. Details and a quote are agreed by phone, and the date is worth locking in a few weeks ahead.
