Located in what was once the legendary Koneser Vodka Factory, which produced the spirit from 1897-2007, Centrum Praskie Koneser is now one of the most exciting destinations on Warsaw’s cultural and culinary map!
Located in the heart of the historic Praga-Północ district, this place is huge, and for a long time lay almost derelict, with exception of becoming an artistic hangout for a few years with bars and clubs. Years ago, the plans to redevelop this space began, and finally in 2018, the revamped Polish Vodka Museum reopened thanks to the ambitious efforts of developers Liebrecht & wooD and BBI Development, and was transformed into a dynamic lifestyle hub. The complex consists of 18 buildings and now includes bars, restaurants, museums, apartments, office and commercial spaces—even the Warsaw Headquarters of Google!
Centrum Praskie Koneser
The old brick buildings have been scrubbed up nicely, and mix well amongst a collection of modern architecture. A visit to this site is well worth your time, not least to learn about the history of Polish vodka, the site itself, and its importance to the district of Pragaalong with several fantastic places to eat and drink. At its core is Plac Konesera (Koneser Square), a lively meeting point that’s accessible 24/7 and comes alive with theatre performances, outdoor cinema, markets, workshops, and events.
