About Face2Face
Krakow's entire indie community (ok, like 5 people) mourned the passing of their beloved B-Side club in autumn 2008. Luckily, out of the hipster rubble of B-Side comes Face2Face, which opened as yet another cheesy house/electro club to no fanfare, but whose management has since been taken over by the previous owner of B-Side.
What does that mean? With Face2Face's decent acoustics and relatively large concert space, it means that more and more good independent rock and instrumental bands will be playing here - the first few months of new management saw such up-and-coming bands like Caspian (U.S.) and Kyte (UK) take the stage.
Unfortunately, Face2Face is pretty useless when it comes to anything other than live music. While it's located in Kazimierz, which makes it a short walk from the Old Town, it's not really central Kazimierz and a bit hard to find, and it's hardly packed when there isn't a concert. But since Krakow has tonnes of good bars but very few good music venues, it's still very much a welcome addition to the scene!

well, i think the owner had wanted a larger venue with a bigger stage for concerts to begin with, so b-side was never really going to be permanent. but while face2face has a nice big stage and a nice amount of space in general, it has the disadvantage of being located not on plac nowy, so unfortunately it's pretty empty most of the time.
