Christopher Columbus
This bar-restaurant, boasting an attractive timber-lined interior, overlooks the river and its less than fascinating dockyards, but you can always turn your chair to face the nearby Naval Academy. The curved bar resembles a boat, and there’s a vast beer garden. Jazz and swing music is on Monday and Tuesday evenings, respectively.

Lizard King
Simultaneously happening and laid-back, this venue is easily located by the big guitar on its outside wall. Friendly crowds sit drinking and eating in the split-level space, casting the occasional glance at the lizard over the bar. There’s live music most nights, usually from 9pm, including rock, jazz and blues.

Johnny Rocker
This super-smooth basement venue with a curvy bar is crammed with happy drinkers sitting cabaret-style in front of a stage that features live blues, jazz or rock acts every weekend. If the sounds are overwhelming, you can always retreat to the stylish ‘red room’.

Charyzma
No overbearing personality here, just an intelligent, low-key sense of cool and some well-chosen, left-field music, covering various bases from emo to blues. Believe it or not, the club occasionally runs tango courses on Monday, complete with Argentinian wine.

Akwarium Jazzarium
This was Warsaw’s first jazz club. Only the white piano remains from the old days but with John Coltrane’s eyes staring at you from one wall, you are left in no doubt that this place knows its heritage.
