Chicas & Gorillas Kraków
Alright, huddle beneath the neon vines. Chicas & Gorillas is a small shot bar, so it suits a DIY stop more than a large guided group route. Inside Pasaż Bielaka, ul. Stolarska 5, this jungle-bright spot is worth knowing if you want a loud, cheap, photo-heavy start or side quest.

5.0 on Google from 2,088 reviewsSo what actually is Chicas & Gorillas
Picture a Polish remix of a Mexican tequila bar. No mariachis, just reggaeton and a banana-yellow color palette that fries your retinas. The official venue list, checked on 6 October 2026, lists branches in several Polish cities and two in Krakow: Pasaż Bielaka and Plac Szczepański 5. This guide focuses on the Pasaż Bielaka branch. Its published hours are below; the second branch has a different schedule.
| Day | Published Pasaż Bielaka hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 16:00–02:00 |
| Monday–Tuesday | 17:00–02:00 |
| Wednesday–Thursday | 15:00–03:00 |
| Friday–Saturday | 15:00–05:00 |
Confirm the schedule for holidays or special events. For prices, use the Krakow shot menu or the menu at your branch; prices and serving sizes can differ between drinks and branches.
Shot menu because adults need coloring books
The laminated grid looks like Tetris and tastes like chaos. Every square shows a cartoon icon like a chilli or a gummy bear plus a two-word name that gives zero clues. Pace yourself, split rounds with friends, and remember that sweet shots can sneak up on you.
Ask the bartender about ingredients, serving sizes and any shot-board offer before ordering. Use the actual branch menu for the recipe, especially if you have dietary restrictions.
Decor neon jungle meets comic con
These are impressions from the original April 2025 review, rather than a current floor plan.
Step inside. Green LED vines snake across the ceiling, fluorescent parrots perch on the walls and the bar pulses lime green. Cartoon gorillas wink at banana murals and tropical sunsets. The dance nook in back looks like a mirrored phone booth; it can feel crowded when everyone wants to move. Flat-screens pump Latino pop videos, then pivot to nineties Eurodance without apology.
The giant statue behind the bar is a selfie magnet. Pro tip: it is welded to the floor. Do not attempt to climb it. I watched a tourist nearly dislocate a hip trying to piggyback the thing.
Events and theme nights
Use the branch’s current event posts for any theme night or promotion. Check that the post is for your Krakow branch and the date you plan to visit.
Crowd and door vibe
Early evening brings tourists hunting cheap pre-drinks. By midnight Erasmus crews who know every Bad Bunny lyric flood in. After two the place fills with off-duty hospitality workers plus random stag parties that got lost on Szewska. Bring valid physical photo ID and practical closed shoes. Confirm any cover charge, dress requirements or event restrictions with the branch before planning your budget.
Toilet trek and the mirror of shame
Heads-up before you head to the restroom: the corridor is lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors. If the room is spinning, that is your sign to switch to water and call it a win.
Why Chicas is not on the crawl yet
Imagine a large wristbanded group squeezing into a venue the size of my kitchen. The crawl timeline would implode and no one would reach the final club. For now, Chicas & Gorillas is better as a DIY stop before or after a planned route, not a core crawl venue.

Chicas is an option for a colourful shot-bar stop; compare the current branch menu before calling it the cheapest.
Final banana flavored words
If you want sugar-bomb shooters, neon vines, and a giant statue silently judging your dance moves, aim for Stolarska 5. Just do the sensible bits too: valid ID, closed shoes, water, and a plan for getting home.
If You Want a Hosted Route Afterward
Chicas works best as a short DIY stop. If you want a guided plan after that, with meeting-point departure at 10:15 PM and the crawl starting at 10:30 PM, compare the Krakow Animals Crawl main pub crawl or use other Krakow experiences if you want a different kind of night.
