Amore del Tropico

A decent little bar, with friendly English-speaking staff with an entrance found inside a courtyard just off Ratajczaka. Read_on (No Comments)

Barcode

An itsy little cocktail bar with room for about twelve people, or fifteen if they’re small. Decorated in muted cream and chocolate colours this place has a mildly retro air, pre-club choons and a frightened little blond thing peeking over the bar. Read_on (No Comments)

Bee Jay's

When last we visited, Bee Jays was a bland and easy-to-overlook club on Poznan’s main square that was in danger of dying a slow death at the hands of more popular venues. Read_on (No Comments)

Blow Up Hall 5050

Blow Up Hall 5050
Woah, if there’s one place that keeps leaving an impact it’s the Blow Up. The bar is the final word in industrial chic, with metal floors, exposed brickwork and ceilings that stretch to the clouds. Read_on (No Comments)

Blue Note Jazz Club

A vast multi-level jazz club whose spangly interior has shades of 90s club tragedy written all over it – don’t let that fool you, this venue is a legend, with some of the biggest names in Polish and international jazz performing in the past. Read_on (No Comments)

Bodega Cafe

This is where the local night cats head to when they grow up. Popular with a late twenties crowd Bodega features low lounge seating, relaxing colours and subdued lighting. Read_on (No Comments)

Brogans Irish Pub

Brogans Irish Pub
The atmospheric Brogan’s is everything you’d want an Irish bar to be; dark, noisy and always busy. Head down a set Read_on (1 Comment)

Brovaria

Brovaria
Brovaria feels an integral part of Poznan life, and it’s certainly become established as the main expat haunt since the demise of Dom Vikingow. Read_on (1 Comment)

Browar Pub

Browar Pub
Set inside the old malt house (Slowdownia) of the former Hugger Brewery which has now become the vast Stary Browar mall, Browar Pub attracts a monied and grown-up crowd you’re unlikely to see filling clubs around Poznan’s main square. Read_on (No Comments)

BSA Sport Pub

Hardly what you would describe as a ‘proper’ sports bar, BSA does a good job of bringing the Premiership to Poznań. Read_on (No Comments)

Buddha Bar

A nightclub inside an Indian restaurant? An Indian restaurant inside a club? We're not sure. It doesn't really work properly as either, which is more down to the staff than anything else who appear to have been specially trained to be ignorant. Read_on (1 Comment)

Cactus Factoria

Cactus Factoria
A multi-level restaurant, bar, club mutant with black/red colours, latin music and some mysterious spongey fabric on the walls outback. Read_on (1 Comment)

Cafe Zielona Gęś

Nowowiejskiego street is traditionally a student haven with the neighbouring bars and clubs busy on the nights when there are no lectures the next day. Read_on (No Comments)

Cooliozum

Cooliozum
There’s a lot to say about Cooliozum, and we might as well begin with the best bit – yip, these guys have Sky Sports, a move which puts them a league above every wannabe sports bar in town. Read_on (1 Comment)

Déja Vu Café

Nights are anarchic in Deja Vu, a few-frills beer hall split into several rooms that all seem the same. Disregarding the design the main constant is the students – this place is full of them, and they drink like parched ducks. Read_on (No Comments)

Dragon

Step into the dragon’s den to find a musty bar dank with sweat and atmosphere. Popular with drop-outs and creatives this weirdo has a recycled look, and peeling plaster walls onto which hallucinatory visuals get zapped. Read_on (2 Comments)

Eskulap

A cult venue with something always going on. There’s plenty of live acts, concerts and DJs entering the fray here (check Read_on (No Comments)

Fever

Travolta meets Roller Girl in Fever, a 70s throwback which has assumed a high profile among a certain section of local drinker (think Botox and bling). Read_on (No Comments)

Fort Colomb

Fort Colomb usually gets overlooked on account of its location – out of old town and in the no-man’s land park space between the centre and the station. Read_on (No Comments)

Guliwer Pub

There’s a vaguely olde English style to this Rynek spot, with booth seating, vintage Murphy’s ads and a collection of absurdities that range from a collection of miniature fishing paraphernalia to a seemingly dead goldfish plopped in a bowl. Read_on (No Comments)

Jameson Bilard Club

If you're in Poznań and what suits is a night playing pool and knocking back a few drinks this is as good a place as any to head. Read_on (No Comments)

Johnny Rocker

Johnny Rocker
Step into Johnny Rocker and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve inadvertently entered a warehouse, what with all the barrels, pipes, tubes and dials. Read_on (No Comments)

Kisielice

Known locally as the ‘K-Hole’, though according to one reader the ‘sh*t hole’ would be more appropriate. Read_on (1 Comment)

KontenerART

KontenerART
One of Poznan’s most original spots, the seasonal  KontenerART relocated to a desolate stretch of grass along the Warta River that makes finding the unusual venue feel like a drink-worthy achievement. Read_on (No Comments)

Kriek Belgian Pub & Cafe

If ever we were pushed to name a favourite bar then this would be up there. Setting it apart is a collection of 170 Belgian beers, admirably promoted by Slawek, a gregarious giant whose principal aim is to spread the good gospel of lager. Read_on (4 Comments)

Kultowa

An urbane pre-club bar aimed at a twenty something audience. The interior is black and modern, and finding seats can pose a challenge come the weekend. Read_on (No Comments)

La Cosa Nostra

Close to the square and virtually next door to FBI if that's your destination for the night. The theme has been done to death elsewhere but that aside the exposed brick, blacks and reds make for a decent place for a loosener or two. Read_on (No Comments)

La Rambla Tapas Bar i Vino

You’ll love La Rambla, a scarlet venue whose principle pull is a top selection of wines and a range of tapas snacks to go with them. Read_on (No Comments)

Liberum Veto

Liberum Veto
A two minute walk from the square brings you to this rather unremarkable looking gem featuring bench seating, a friendly barmaid and a big fridge. Read_on (No Comments)

Lizard King

Lizard King caused a bit of a stir when it closed a couple years back, so it’s not a surprise that it’s re-launch has made a few waves. Read_on (No Comments)

Lobby Bar

Relive the glory days of Hasselhoff inside Hotel Andersia’s glitzy ground floor drinkery. Take to one of the swivelly chairs that surround the black marble bar, or else repair to the white poufs lurking in the corners. Read_on (No Comments)

Londoner Pub

One of the square’s longest-standing venues which you can take as a good or a bad thing. The Londoner follows the old Read_on (No Comments)

Malibu Bar

Shock white colour schemes have punters reaching for their shades, and this place is definitely aimed at the ‘sunglasses at night’ crowd. Read_on (No Comments)

Meskal

An brilliant absurdity that gets absolutely packed come the weekend. Leftfield music and ever changing art draw a studenty crowd dressed in hand-me-down fashion, while behind the bar find a brick, a lampshade and an Osasuna scarf. Read_on (No Comments)

Meskalina

Design, what design? Meskalina – little sister of Meskal – doesn’t offer much to distinguish itself in the visual department, and proves not dissimilar to a university common room: think of a big, basic room and plastic glasses. Read_on (No Comments)

Mielżynski Wine Bar

Set in a scrubbed up industrial brick building Mielżynski is the wine bar that Poznan has been crying out for. It’s not central, but it is worth the ride, as a lengthy lurk among the crates soon proves. Read_on (1 Comment)

Piano Bar

Piano Bar
The perfect spot to take clients. A clean cream interior punctuated by some well chosen local art. The mobile drinks cabinet can be dispatched to your party if an emergency surfaces, such as an inability to walk. Read_on (No Comments)

Piwiarnia Warka

Expect a cacophony of noise the moment the local football side are beamed onto the plasma screen. This is your traditional sports pub effort, with generous benched booths, posters of frothing beer mugs and photographs of footballs finest amphitheatres. Read_on (No Comments)

Pod Minogą

Formerly Poznan’s premier bar noir, what was once a dog-eared local legend has since been gentrified and refurbished. Read_on (No Comments)

PRL

There’s two communist theme bars in Poznan, and this place has the lower profile, the non-existent ad budget and a tiny entrance that’s easy to miss. Read_on (No Comments)

Proletaryat

So what if Stalin killed umpteen times more people than Hitler? Communism can be a hoot, at least it is if you’re drunk, so head to this commie bar and raise a glass to Uncle Joe. Read_on (1 Comment)

Pub Pod Czerwonym Diabłem

The name implies devilish fun, but our visit revealed a significant lack of Mephistophelian mischief. The sparse group of middle-aged Read_on (No Comments)

Qube Vodka Bar and Cafe

Qube Vodka Bar and Cafe
Qube is the lobby bar of the Sheraton, and the perfect prelude to a pre-restaurant meal.  The vodka selection is second Read_on (No Comments)

Room 55

On the ground floor find a decent bar where the business world meet for after work drinks, as well as an overpriced menu presented by scurrying blondes. Read_on (1 Comment)

Sakli Kent Pub

Hookahs, beer, cocktails and students. Without wishing to simplify this place too much there it is in a nutshell. It’s popular with the aforementioned students because the hookahs, beer and cocktails are good at a very attractive price. Read_on (1 Comment)

Sami Swoi

From the outside Sami Swoi appears to be a traditional restaurant, filled with stripey wallpaper, oil paintings and other prim touches. Read_on (No Comments)

SARP u Architektów

Those familiar with the Sarp of old might find the re-modelling something of a shock but maybe it’s a sign of the times (and our increased maturity) that we actually quite like it. Read_on (No Comments)

Shark

A chic designer space with a sparkling bar that wondrously seems to spread from floor to ceiling. Find sexy bedroom music, stick thin girls and salmon walls inside this smashig split level venue. Read_on (No Comments)

Shivaz

An Indian styled restaurant/club 5 mins walk from the square which has put a lot of effort in the look with mauve, black and silver colours abounding, 100 seats, a VIP room, dancefloor and DJs at weekends playing hits from the 70s through to the modern day. Read_on (No Comments)

SomePlace Else

SomePlace Else
SPE is a natural born winner – few places are better geared to meet foreign demands, and while the prices are undoubtedly steep (do you expect anything else from the Sheraton), it’s a place where foreigners and locals mix with seamless ease. Read_on (No Comments)

SPOT.

It’s hip, urban and minimal, and while some accuse Spot of sterility this venue is one of the better drinkeries in the city. Read_on (No Comments)

Tanner’s Irish Pub

Though not open when we went to press, Tanner’s has promising credentials: One of the former owners of Brogans, a classic Irish haunt on Szewska, is at the helm. Read_on (No Comments)

The Dubliner

No Guinness is better than this Guinness, with the black stuff poured in seconds by amateur staff who clearly don’t know best. Read_on (No Comments)

The Fire Place Lounge

A tiny side room of the Sheraton houses this gem, where curvy seating is complimented by violet dashes, mirrors and dark polished woods. Read_on (No Comments)

Tropicana

A bar situated right in the heart of the square that seems to manage never to be busy when we stop by. Chrome, faux leather seating Read_on (No Comments)

U Honzika

U Honzika
The strange thing about U Honzika is just how unlikeable it looks from the outside – a narrow sunken doorway on a shabby street reserved for the students. Read_on (No Comments)

Whisky Bar 88

Whisky Bar 88
Steal yourself away to the darkened surroundings of Whisky Bar in City Park where you will find the ideal conditions to sit back and enjoy one of well over 300 different types of the sainted liquid. Read_on (No Comments)

Winiarnia Dominikańska

Find a range of generations inside this wine cellar, from those engaged in playing flirty games to couples knocking on heavens door. Read_on (No Comments)

W Starym Kinie

Out front pub poets and film buffs sit within plum coloured walls, eyeing decorations that include film reels, projectors and cinema seats. Read_on (2 Comments)

Za Kulisami

An editorial favourite, this is the sort of place you’d imagine a young Phileas Fogg enjoying, and the scraps of paper above the bar are actually travellers notes from the days before iPhone. Read_on (1 Comment)
