9 cocktail bar places in Warsaw we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Warsaw | Cocktail Bar across every city.
Warsaw drinks across two registers: serious cocktail rooms and cheap PRL-nostalgia bars, often within a block of each other. El Koktel, the emerald-walled basement off Mazowiecka, carries a 50 Best Discovery listing, while Cosmo Bar works a sustainable, locally foraged programme from the Cosmopolitan tower on Twarda. Nowy Swiat covers both ends, from the freezing-tap cocktails at Zamieszanie to the four-zloty communist-era shots at Pijalnia Wodki i Piwa.
