Warsaw | Bars, Pubs & Clubs | Irish

Few things are worse than a bad Guinness so you’ll be happy to learn the Guinness in Bradley’s isn’t just good, it’s quite probably the best pint in Poland. That’s largely down to Kevin, a committed publican often caught conducting stringent quality checks with his band of regulars. This steamy pub also doubles as the nerve centre of Frogs & Co, the local rugby side, and boisterous spirits and schoolboy japes are guaranteed when this mob are in town. But there’s more to this place than rugby, and you’ll find tables and chairs disappearing once the football lot squish in the for a big game. And if you don’t like sports, don’t worry. One of the longest happy hours draws plenty of others, as does a menu promising one of the best traditional breakfasts around.

Landlord Kevin has upped and left, taking his staff, satellite dish and even the stained glass to his new downtown venture Bradley's. The regulars have followed, replaced by a crowd of sketchy looking locals, leading expat wags to re-christen this outpost Cork Polish Pub. [...]

A low-profile, scruffy Irish pub that transforms whenever musicians take to the stage; within minutes you’ll find the assorted patrons singing along in out-of-key merriment, and showcasing dance moves you thought were exclusive to your drunk uncle: remember that wedding he fell into the cake.

A claustrophobic subterranean bar with all the right Guinness paraphernalia but staff incapable of pouring the stuff. With no Sky Sports either you’ll find most expatriates opting for the craic of Bradley’s or Bar Below, meaning the few foreign accents you’ll hear belong to tourists diverted from the museum trail.

Rynek Starego Miasta 29/31 (entrance from ul. Wąski Dunaj)

tel. (+48) 22 831 02 63

Open 15:00-03:00
A grotty bar that draws in local headcases and visiting stag groups in equal measure; they’re welcome to each other. The toilets here are a health hazard, but the real danger lies by the bar – there’s several libellous stories circulating, and we can’t say much more other than watch your drink, watch your bag, and don’t accept freebies from smiling Russian dudes.
