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, Amsterdam Bar 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. Or explore what’s left of the famous shipyards by heading over to Buffet.
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.
Couples
For something really picturesque take an evening stroll down ul. Mariacka and stop for a nightcap in Cafe Kamienica or at Riviera Literacka Klub Pisarza.
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
