Afera Na Szpitalnej
Szpitalna 3, Downtown
Step into Afera na Szpitalnej, where Mateusz, the creative mind behind the establishment, curates an atmosphere that beautifully contrasts the trendy white brick walls with lighthearted murals. This gem, distinct from typical shot bars, stands out with its polished aesthetic. However, don’t be deceived – the sanity levels here are delightfully low! After the clubs call it a night, elevate your spirits with shots starting at just 8 PLN and beers to match. Experience the crisp chill of vodka (warmed only upon your request) paired with delectable traditional Polish dishes, thoughtfully prepared and priced between 18 to 29 PLN.
Pair your drink with such Polish classics such as fried chicken fillets or Beef rump steak with stewed onions, potatoes and pickled cucumber salad. Afera is certainly your refuge on Szpitalna 3 in the city center, inviting you to savor both the design and the rich culinary offerings of homemade style Polish classics. Swing by Monday to Thursday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM, Friday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 AM, and Saturday from 3:00 PM to 4:00 AM. On Sundays, they rest to prepare for another week of unparalleled madness. Highly recommended!
Setka
Świętokrzyska 14, Downtown
Setka, a lively nostalgic charm of Poland’s former People’s Republic, is a dynamic drinking spot that perfectly blends the trend for old PRL ‘shot & snack’ bars with a touch of restaurant sophistication. Located in the city center on Świętokrzyska 14 and born in December 2017, Setka strikes a delicate balance of class without compromising its vibrant character. Open from 15:00 to 02:00 (Mon-Thu) and offering non-stop revelry from 15:00 on Friday until 04:00 on Sunday, Setka promises a nostalgic journey with shots and classic Polish dishes for contemporary bar-hoppers.
Meta na Foksal
Foksal 21, Downtown
Decked out with vintage vinyl, newspaper clippings, and propaganda posters, this on-the-go spot harmoniously blends Capitalist Warsaw with the PRL pig of the past. It’s a brilliant concept, and what makes it even better are the unbeatable prices. Pure vodka costs 5, 9, 11 PLN and their homemade shots cost 8 PLN. Factor in the late-night hours, 12:00 – 0500 on weekends and until 0200 every other day, and it’s a go-to for a lively crowd of people who just don’t want the night to end.
Czupito
9 Mazowiecka, Downtown
Warsaw Czupito stands proudly among the revered shot bar chain establishments, offering a vibrant space to revel in unforgettable moments with friends while indulging in uniquely crafted alcoholic compositions. Beyond their distinctive flavors, what sets the shots apart is the theatrical presentation, often resembling an artistic performance. Adding to its allure is the central location, nestled in the heart of Warsaw at 9 Mazowiecka Street. Here, the fusion of exceptional concoctions and a lively atmosphere creates an enticing destination for those seeking a spirited celebration.
