Warsaw Nightlife: Bars, Pubs & Clubs

Warsaw Nightlife: Bars, Pubs & Clubs
A thriving capital city it might be, but Warsaw still lags behind other European hotspots when it comes to hedonistic capers. There is no area truly set aside for nightlife, and hailing taxis to get from Bar A to Club B is a tediously frequent occurrence. The area around pl. Pilsudskiego and pl. Teatralny has become a firm favourite with a dressy crowd of new money Poles, somewhat replacing the more established territories of Nowy Swiat, pl. Trzech Krzyzy and ul. Sienkiewicza. If dressing to the nines is firmly out of the question then consider heading across the river to the artsy bars cropping up in the Praga district. In a worrying development many clubs have now assumed the thinking that clothes maketh the man, and you’ll find most clubs now operating a velvet rope door policy to ensure only those kitted in their Saturday finery make it as far as the dance floor. Open hours listed should only be treated as rough approximation; in practice many bars and clubs will open way beyond the call of duty if the need arises, but by the same benchmark will happily bolt the doors if business has been slow.

Here are a few recommendations depending on what you are looking for.

Local

Bierhalle is a large microbrewery on Nowy Swiat that churns out respectable vats of beer in a central location. Newcomer Znajomi Znajomych is one of Warsaw’s most popular at the moment and features two stories and a large smoking area for committed drinkers. And across the river in Praga the strange Po Drugiej Stronie Lustra has nearly every bottle you can imagine.

Cheap

It has to be The Secret Garden, a ramshackle collection of dive bars in the courtyard behind Nowy Swiat that offers Warsaw drinking in its rawest form. Just before the Old Town you’ll find Bar Warszawa which is open 24 hours and can put beer or vodka in your hand for a mere 4zl. And on the student trail hit up Plan B for a mix of cheap drinks and youthful debauchery.

Lads

For Sky Sports and grub then take your pick from Champions, Warsaw Tortilla Factory, Legends and Someplace Else. If you’ve cleaned up and are ready to impress hit up Foksal street for clubs like Sketch and Flow. If your requirements are a little more carnal read up on our adult section and then proceed wisely. New Orleans seems to be the spot with the most recommendations

Couples

Wine bars are on the rise in Warsaw, and Joseph’s Wine and Food and Vinoteka 13 both offer the chance to indulge in a classy glass or white or red. And if you find tanks and sandbags sexy then Beirut is not to be missed – feel free to feed each other the delicious hummus over beers.

Splurge

Paparazzi’s cocktails are worth the dip into your wallet, as are the drinks at the Marriott’s Panorama bar, which offers views from the 40th floor that will cost you. If you’re dressed to impress hit up Capitol for the chance to drink like a champagne-loving oligarch.
