The venue has an excellent range of locally crafted beers, all detailed on a blackboard style menu. Beers range from hoppy ales to frothy stouts. The food menu focuses on unusual dishes, as well as quality over quantity. Elegant little plates are filled with fine vegetables and bites of masterfully prepared meats, including corned beef with carrots, potato and broccoli or the kapusta (black pudding) with spices and vegetables. The venue has indoor and outdoor seating, as well as free WiFi.
10. Bazar Klub
Bar, Polish
A little hidden treasure across the river from Warsaw’s Old Town is Bazar Klub in the up-and-coming Nowa Praga (New Prague) district. Bazar, which is in a renovated building, advertises itself as the only place on this side of the river where you can get food and drink 24 hours a day on the weekends. This means you can grab a shot and a bit of Polish food at four in the morning. The bar itself also specialises in whiskey and cocktails. The staff members are very welcoming and speak good English.
