Amsterdam Bar Beer & Bagel

Amsterdam Bar Beer & Bagel
Local bottled brews have made a huge leap forward in the last couple of years thanks in no small part to places like this which are prepared to snub the major brewers and stock independent brewers in depth. Read_on (No Comments)

Barbados

A large and basic affair that fills with after-work nine-to-fivers nattering into their mobile phones. There’s a good chance they’re planning the weekend ahead, which is when this place transforms from boring bar to cracking club. Read_on (No Comments)

Bedeker

Schizophrenic might be the best way to describe Bedeker, the latest iteration to take over the former Live Sport Bar space. The Read_on (No Comments)

Brovarnia

Brovarnia
Quite possibly our favourite microbrewery in Poland, which is by no means the empty award you might think. The beers – brewed on-site – are faultless, while the smoking ban does its bit to really exaggerate the pungent smell of malt and hops. Read_on (1 Comment)

Buddha Lounge

Buddha Lounge
One of the few decent pre-club spots in the old town with a midnight blue design and some velvety seats. Trumping the competition the design here features the best painting ever: some naked bloke with antlers on his head. Read_on (No Comments)

Café Absinthe

Café Absinthe
Penetrate the greenish fog and find a basic space with tables and chairs squeezed in at all angles occupied by a collection of Read_on (7 Comments)

Café Bar Mon Balzac

Café Bar Mon Balzac
Decorated with muted colours, big candles and even bigger sofas, Mon Balzac has a sophisticated edge and a popularity factor that’s Read_on (No Comments)

Cafe Ferber

Cafe Ferber
Decent separation of the smoking and non-smoking sections, space-age toilets and a fine selection of board games are Read_on (No Comments)

Cafe Kamienica

Cafe Kamienica
Drink under the gables and gargoyles of Mariacka in this standout café/bar, a boho space set on two levels. Consisting of Read_on (No Comments)

Cafe Lamus

Hipster alert – there’s a new place in town. A cafe/bar set up in an old shop which screams 1970s down to the heavily patterned wallpaper that we’re sure carries the same design as a dress our mother used to wear. Read_on (No Comments)

Cafe Szafa

The owners are obviously exercising a snip of black humour by calling this place a café. It’s no such thing. It’s Hades, it’s hell, but most of all it’s a force ten hangover. Read_on (No Comments)

Cup of Tea Żywe Club

Don’t be fooled by the club part in their name – this place is tiny, like cupboard tiny, and chances are you’ll be fighting for seats. Read_on (No Comments)

Degustatornia Dom Piwa

While we love Polish beer it doesn’t half make you feel like you’ve been hit by an artillery barrage the morning after. Read_on (No Comments)

F°32

We wouldn’t normally list a hotel bar, but when that hotel bar is F°32 we’ll make the exception. Why? Well, how Read_on (No Comments)

Flisak 76

Flisak 76
A popular bar frequented by a friendly crowd on a less touristy Gdańsk street. Not much to look at, the reason to head to Read_on (3 Comments)

High 5

High 5
Hitting the fifth floor bar of the Hilton isn’t unlike walking on-set of a Ralph Lauren ad. This place is sheer class, with a wood-deck terrace offering rooftop views of Gdańsk from white wicker loungers. Read_on (No Comments)

Infinium

Unlike the other clubs in the area, this place has no problems drawing regular crowds. Attached to a student dorm, so if you don’t want to spring for a taxi do your best to finish your night with one of the students. Read_on (No Comments)

Irish Pub

Irish Pub
The Irish Pub was once something of a byword for debauchery, with sweaty bodies and blocked toilets all doing their bit for a meat market atmosphere. Read_on (No Comments)

Irish Pub Piwnica

A former public lavatory, so we’re led to believe, is the setting for a decent locals bar with big screen football and an amiable bar keep. Read_on (No Comments)

Irish Station

There is a tendency to name places after Ireland in this city when they have no apparent connection with the Emerald Isle. Here’s another, but that doesn’t make it necessarily bad. Read_on (No Comments)

La Dolce Vita

La Dolce Vita
A cracking little bar with an urbane vibe thanks to the open planned arrangements, neon arcs, stainless steel and assorted slick dashes. Read_on (No Comments)

LOFT

We’re quick to endorse anywhere that offers a bottle of Specjal for just 6zł and the tequila-infused Desperados lager for 9zł, but fortunately that’s not all this new pub has to recommend it. Read_on (No Comments)

Przystanek Piwna

There’s a real vintage feel to Przystanek, a neighbourhood bar festooned with padded alcoves, brass lamps and antique signs from the age of the bi-plane. Read_on (No Comments)

Pub Duszek

If you like your bars to be slick, smooth and full of dressed up dingbats fiddling with iPhones then move on. Duszek is anything Read_on (2 Comments)

Red Light Pub

A Gdansk bar with a Sopot feel and along with Flisak 76 a place that’s worth staying in Gdańsk for if you want to enjoy a few decent beers with a young and relaxed crowd. Read_on (1 Comment)

Restauracja Republika

Restauracja Republika
Sitting in a great spot overlooking the river next to the Green Gate is this American styled sports bar which comes with padded bench seating, high stools at the bar and tables where you can enjoy the decent bar food. Read_on (2 Comments)

Riviera Literacka Klub Pisarza

Festooned with blinking fairy lights this café/bar has literary leanings, and come nightfall it’s an owlish crowd of whiskered academics who convene for beer and cigarettes (outside of course) in generous amounts. Read_on (No Comments)

Scruffy O'Brien

Scruffy O'Brien
Aesthetically this is the most convincing Irish pub of the lot, right down to the chessboard flooring and wood fashioned furniture. Read_on (No Comments)

Stacja De Luxe

Stacja De Luxe
Poland is proliferated with pubs that were once public toilets, so finding a bar that formerly housed a petrol station really isn’t as bizarre as it sounds. Read_on (No Comments)

St. John's Pub & Cafe

It's rare that a hostel bar would warrant a mention to those who are bunking elsewhere, but St. John's is worth a look, especially in warm weather when the splendid summer terrace with views of the adjacent church is available to everyone. Read_on (No Comments)

Sure Bar

Enter via the glass atrium of the Radisson to reach the Irish styled Sure, a super spot that blows most other lobby bars out of the water. Read_on (No Comments)

Tekstylia

Tekstylia
Cutting edge? Maybe not. But while it’d be a short thumb in London or Paris this new bar has certainly got the locals talking – and drinking. Read_on (1 Comment)

U Szkota

U Szkota
At the Scot’s was a place that for many years sucked in unsuspecting foreigners with its Scottish flag to discover a British looking bar at the heart of a dimly lit restaurant featuring an eclectic (read English) mix of British paraphernalia from the ages. Read_on (No Comments)

Vinifera

Depicted as the little doll’s house in Gunter Grass’ Call of the Toad, Vinifera is one of the great disappointments of night time Gdańsk. Read_on (No Comments)

Yellow Submarine

Bar-resto-club at the heart of the square with Gdansk’s most attractive outdoor seating featuring it’s most striking outdoor bar. Read_on (No Comments)
