Party On!

Weeks after details came to light over draconian plans to clamp down on the riverfront’s bars and clubs, a compromise appears to have been reached with City Hall. Originally, officials had stated only two clubs would be granted music licenses, and only then on the condition that sound would be limited to 70 decibels.

A fierce backlash, however, has forced both sides to find a more reasonable middle ground with final negotiations agreeing on a 3 a.m. curfew on weekend parties, higher fines for noise pollution and increased police patrols. Recent years have seen the Wisła named as having one of Europe’s most dynamic summer riverfront scenes, a reputation it will now likely keep.
