About Harris Piano Jazz Bar

Harris Piano Jazz Bar has been a fixture of Kraków's cultural life since 1994, offering nightly live jazz performances in an intimate cellar setting on the Market Square. The venue's wooden interior, excellent acoustics and genuinely knowledgeable booking policy have made it a pilgrimage site for jazz lovers visiting Poland. Harris hosts both Polish jazz talent and international touring musicians, maintaining a programme of genuine quality that contrasts with the tourist-oriented entertainment that surrounds it on the square.

History

Harris opened in 1994, in the years immediately following Poland's democratic transition, and became one of the first jazz clubs in post-communist Kraków to establish a genuinely professional standard. Its longevity over three decades is a testament to the consistent quality of its programming and the loyalty of its audience.
