Cybermachina Warszawa

Nowy Świat 54/56

Illuminated with neon lights depicting legends such as Pac-Man, this labyrinthine basement has it all: a 90s style retro living room for those looking to play Worms Armageddon, a separate room for Guitar Hero, a big screen for games tournaments, modern consoles and shelves filled with tabletop games such as Talisman, Dixit and Catan. Drinks include wacky craft beers and house shots and cocktails such as Robot Unicorn Attack. It’s young and fun!

Zagrywki

Nowy Świat 4A

Essentially a play pen for adults, head to this flashy, neon-lit spot to partake in silliness such as beer pong, crazy golf, fussball, karaoke, skeeball and just about any other daft pursuit you can think of. Yes, it’s loud, yes, it’s garish and yes it’s a bloody good laugh. And the really loopy thing is that neither have they opted for half-arsed drink solutions: if you’re expecting bland offers from the country’s macrobreweries then be surprised to find a small range of craft beers, frozen alcoholic slushies, capable cocktails and, of course, plenty of glow-in-the-dark shots to keep your evening lively.

H.4.0.S

Marszałkowska 64

Akin to stepping inside a computer game, visitors find themselves treading up a green-lit stairwell that leads into the best-looking games bar that Warsaw’s ever had. Think: traffic lights, toilets disguised as elevator shafts, exposed pipes, industrial power units and big, glowing signs bearing slogans such as “game over” and “stay alive”. In the retro room find SNES, Wii,and Sega MegaDrive games (and even Commodore 64); in the team room, meanwhile, enjoy the latest generation PCs; whilst in the bar’s core choose from  huge list of tabletop games. It’s stunning.

Pinball Station

Kolejowa 8A

Dubbing itself ‘an interactive museum’, Pinball Station glows up inside to reveal dozens of machines from our pre-digital age. Filled with relics in the truest sense of the world, the oldest treasure is a Brillant Torero machine produced in Germany in 1938. A thrilling blast to the past, this cavern-like space is one for the nostalgist. For a flat fee, test your talents on machines such as Dirty Harry, Buck Rogers and Dr. Dude & His Excellent X-Ray (“If you’re ready to get hip,” reads the display, “turn on, power up and drop into my kinetic clinic!”).
