If you like your bars to be slick, smooth and full of dressed up dingbats fiddling with iPhones then move on. Duszek is anything but, offering instead a scruffed down design that’s been fogged and stained from decades of beer and smoke – honestly, a night here is enough to cut years off your life expectancy. But in a country that’s gone bananas for new and neon, glitz and gits, this legendary local is something of a standard bearer for old days Gdańsk. Watching Polish barflies get trousered on vodka isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but this place has atmosphere in spades, a friendly welcome, and often raucous nights – not least when some incompetent bashes out some notes on the cobwebbed piano, which happens often thanks to their daily live music schedule.

  Not so scruffy. A great wee bar with fantastic live music played by the customers and paid musicians. A place worth a visit even though the surroundings are not four star or even close.The Ghost has to be my favourite pub in Poland. I have been in a few others over the years!
