By night
Gdansk's nightlife is starting to wake up, and the town centre is home to a number of interesting spots. But if you're looking for something less mainstream, or have had enough of student nightclubs then you're better off heading to
Sopot or
Gdynia.
Local
Try the beers brewed on-site at
Brovarnia, and you won’t find a better pint outside of Belgium. More local juice can be found at
Cafe Goldwasser and anywhere else selling the non-pasteurised Żywe beer or the other Amber Brewery range of local beers. For a taste of local hedonism, and a cross-section of the weirdest characters in Gdansk, then fight through the crowds who gather at
Cafe Absinthe.
Lads
Start in
Degustatornia Dom Piwa, a lively pub featuring over 100 world beers.
Buddha is a late hours favourite, and the staff well familiar with slurred proposals from smitten stags. If you don’t get anywhere then try one of the meat market clubs like
Parlament. Failing that head to
Kabaret Ewan for a guaranteed rub with the local talent, or if you are feeling flush jump in a cab and head out to the upmarket
New Orleans. For live sports, or at least live sports on Polish TV due to the lack of SKY, head to the aptly named
Live Sports Pub.
Couples
Indygo is a smooth environment that’s part bar, part cafe, part chillout zone, while for something really picturesque take an evening stroll down ul. Mariacka and stop for a nightcap in
Cafe Kamienica.
Splurge
Go five star and set up shop in either the
Radisson overlooking Długi Targ, or either in the Hilton’s ground floor bar
F°32 or rooftop
High 5 where you can slash out 260zł on an amber cocktail. While not particularly pricey,
Tekstylia looks to be attracting a high end crowd, so mix with the local jet-set by heading there
