Bizarre. As you stroll along the swanky Nowy Swiat toward trendy Foksal Street, look through an archway and you’ll spy an oversized garden shed. Located in a back alley right in the heart of Warsaw’s swishest nightlife district, serving strong Polish beer and a great atmosphere late into the night, this bar is delightfully out of step with its surroundings. For those who like their socialising on the downbeat side.

Location: Through an archway off Nowy Swiat, near the turn into Ulica Foksal.

Bunker chic, or a hipster’s fallout shelter perhaps, this underground pub on the Old Town Square tries hard but still manages to be very cool. The funky décor and beats, the lack of natural light, the strong alcohol, all combine to make you feel like you have entered another dimension.

Location: Old Town Square, at the south-west end, downstairs.

Billed as a little bit of Africa in Poland, it’s actually very Euro-chic. But the food is hot, décor cool, and atmosphere chilled.

Location: On Foksal, half a block from Nowy Swiat.
Address: Ulica Foksal 18.
