Pubs & Bars in Warsaw | Where to Drink
Warsaw Pubs | Warsaw Bars
Welcome to the Love Warsaw Pubs & Bars section. There's plenty of places in Warsaw to 'wet your whistle' and we have endeavored to provide you with a comprehensive guide below. Pubs don't close at 11pm in Warsaw with most just starting to warm up around that time, so no need to rush out. Poland is famous for it's Vodka. There are a few kinds of good Polish vodkas worth recommending e.g. zubrowka (bison grass), tarniowka (sloe plum), sliwowica (prune) and pieprzowka (vodka with ground white pepper). Western drinks, such as whisky, gin or brandy, can be obtained in most bars but are expensive. Wine is available but again, is imported and expensive. The best bottled beer is zywiec, a fairly strong lager-type beer.
Another great place for a night out is Krakow (Cracow). Please check out the Krakow Nightlife at our sister site, Love Krakow.
It's your round!
Jimmy Bradley's Irish Bar
Address: Sienna Street 39.Tel: 0-22 654 66 56
One of Warsaw's best kept secrets (unless you are an expat) probably due to the fact that it is quite difficult to find! Jimmy Bradley's Irish Bar is as close as you will get to an Irish or British pub anywhere in Warsaw. Jimmy's is owned by Kevin Bradley, an Irishman and very experienced landlord and you won't find a better pint of Guiness anywhere in Poland! During sporting occasions, you will find Jimmy's Irish Bar to be packed mostly with British & Irish Expats all enjoying their sport on the big screens. The food is very good and the Irish and English Breakfast is as good as you will get anywhere at home...
