Best of Warsaw 2022: All-Rounder

Browar Warszawski

Haberbuscha i Schielego 2

When it comes to the individual projects found in Warsaw’s hubs and halls, their solo success and impact can be easily measured – would you visit them if they were located somewhere else? Like, for example, the middle of nowhere. In the case of Browar Warszawski, the answer is a resounding yes.

Presenting a thousand different faces, this multi-floored venue has a strong post-industrial aesthetic, but this is softened by a proliferation of details such as flourishes of vintage, lavishly upholstered seats and plenty of gleaming beer tanks. Available in 18 or so styles, the house beers are excellent and understandable and do a grand job of broadly introducing Poland’s craft direction.

But Browar’s real talent lies in its adaptability, and this flexibility isn’t just underscored by the interesting cocktails and top-range spirits, but also a wide-ranging menu skillfully put together by chef Dmitrij Babak. This Jack-of-all-trades is a master of them all.
