Woda Ognista

Cocktail Bar Before we detail the place, we’ll mention the area - ul. Wilcza, one of many nice streets that can be described as ‘off the beaten track’, hiding some wonderful pre-war architecture you might miss if you don’t stray from Warsaw’s main drag, ul� Marszałkowska� Emitting a nostalgic air of bygone days, Woda Ognista captures and bottles this atmosphere of ‘forgotten Warsaw’, with classy 1920s-30s decor and a primly dressed staff that exude panache� Prepare to be impressed by their seasonal offerings, fantastic Polish-style cocktails and dishes that take you on a journey through Warsaw’s cultural history� Put simply, this is a wonderful place to experience a modern spin on pre-war Varsovian style and we’re sure the likes of Eugeniusz Bodo and Mieczysław Fogg would have approved�

QH-9, ul. Wilcza 8, MCentrum, tel. (+48) 22 258 14 41, www.wodaognista.com. Open 17:00-24:00; Fri, Sat 17:0002:00. 6

The Alchemist Grill & Cocktail

Cocktail Bar It’s still worth noting that this bar is where the plan for the future of drinking was hatched� The Alchemist’s patented “Beer Wall” was the first of its kind in Europe; working with a handy “Beer Wall” card, you can pour yourself as many drinks (local craft beer, cider and prosecco are typically represented) as you like from the 8 taps on the wall� Futuristic guzzling gizmos aside, however, the signature cocktails that shimmer, swirl and smoke are where the Alchemist earns its name, and their award-winning food (Gault & Millau 2020) makes this venue a must-visit� On the card are delicious burgers and steaks - innovative interpretations of American and British classics� If all this wasn’t enough, in the summer, it’s the spacious terrace that draws the locals to lounge around for hours enjoying the results of the Alchemist’s experimentation���
