Best Pubs in Warsaw, Poland

There are numerous cities that lay claim to the best drink and nightlife in Poland, but when it comes to the best pubs in the country, you’ll quickly discover that you never need to leave Warsaw in order to have a great time. Despite the fact that Krakow touts having the most bars of any place on the planet, Warsaw bears serious investigation when it comes to hospitable pubs and the dining possibilities that they hold for the thirsty tourist.

Ironically, the majority of the pubs in Warsaw are clustered in and around the Old Town Square, and once you venture too far from this hub, you will find that establishments serving refreshments are a rare commodity. Interestingly enough, this is not the case in any of the other major Polish communities and cities, so one often wonders what the reason is for this anomaly. Needless to say, if you stick within these parameters, you will not lack for entertainment, food, and libation. The following is a listing of the best pubs to visit while in Warsaw.

1. Browarmia

Contemporarily designed and food-oriented, this is an “up-market” pub located in ritzy section of town

2.  Pub Staromiejski

Being situate directly opposite the Warsaw royal castle, this pub is simple to find and resembles a pub you would see in merry old England

3. Bawarski Pub

Originally called Piwna 2, Bawarski Pub got its first name from the alley situated close to the Warsaw Royal Palace

4. Pozegnanie z Afryka

Located in the “New Town” and has smacking of Western Civilization, this pub appears café-like but is extremely cozy to spend time in considering being rather up-scale compared to other establishments

5. The Irish Pub

A well-loved destination of locals and international travelers alike, this “imitation” Irish pub has literally become the McDonald’s of the pub arena in Warsaw and is always crowded

6. Morgan’s

One of the oldest Irish-style pubs in Warsaw and one of the last places that you can still get a pint of Beamish

7. Nora Pub

The biggest variety of bottled beers (10) and draught beer (14) anywhere in Warsaw and one of the most frequented places by students

8. Bierhalle

Located slightly outside the city center but easily accessible by tram and despite being located in a shopping center, the place will delight you with its quaint atmosphere and libation available

9. Soma Restauracja i Browar

Brand new to the area as of 2001, current rumors have it that the establishment has closed and moved to another locale unknown at the present time. The Mini-Soma Restauracja i Browar Spiz is supposedly the newer pub and also serves food now as well.
