Café Ferber
It’s startling to step straight from Gdańsk’s historic main street into this very modern café-bar, dominated by bright red panels, a suspended ceiling and boxy lighting. The scarlet décor contrasts with its comfy brown armchairs, from which you can sip well-made coffee, international wines, and cocktail creations such as the szary kot (grey cat). On weekends, DJs spin house and chill-out music into the wee small hours.

Czarna Owca
Calling your pub the ‘Black Sheep’ hardly encourages good behaviour, so sipping a quiet pint is seldom on the agenda here. When you’ve finished boozing in the dark, intimate bar, join the herd on the downstairs dance floor for DJs playing house, pop, rock, Latin or retro sounds, depending on the night.

Soda
Cool, laid-back venue with a split identity – upstairs it’s a mellow pot plant–strewn bar and restaurant during the day, while downstairs it’s a club after dark. Musical styles change from night to night, and can include anything from house to ’70s and ’80s classics.

Mandarynka
This very cool confection of timber tables, scarlet lampshades and huge orange cushions is about as loungey as it gets. The bartenders seem to be on first-name terms with all the patrons, and are superbly nonchalant to boot. There’s a food menu, and a DJ in action upstairs most nights.

Mezzoforte/Zielony Abażur
This Italian restaurant leads a double life as one of Szczecin’s hippest bar-clubs, with a different musical flavour on the upstairs stereo every day, and guest artists laying beats in the basement at night. The outdoor seating on the cobblestone mall is a great place to sip a beer.

Miasto Aniołów
The City of Angels covers all the bases – late-night revellers can hit the spacious dance floor, crash in the chill-out area, or hang around the atmospheric deck overlooking the Motława River. Nightly DJs play disco and other dance-oriented sounds.

City Hall
The basement of the massive Red Town Hall packs in up to 400 mad-for-it clubbers for some of the biggest nights in town, featuring rhythms from soul to house to R & B. The best night is Saturday, when Berlin DJs often hop over the border to play here.

Yesterday
Groovy cellar venue decked out in 1960s flower-power décor, including cartoon characters and a fluorescent portrait of Chairman Mao. DJs play a variety of sounds from 9pm every night, and there’s the occasional live gig.

Plan B
This small bar squeezed into a stretched attic overlooking Plac Zbawiciela borders on dingy, but the mix of students and young office workers don’t seem to mind. Find some couch space and relax to smooth beats from regular DJs.

Alter Ego
The basement of the Powszechna bookshop conceals an intriguing narrow bar with a lively dance-music policy. Look closely at the portholes separating the seating booths, and you may find something alive within their depths…

Brama Jazz Café
Housed in the Baroque Royal Gate, another fragment of lost history, the Brama has a DJ playing different styles of jazz on Tuesday nights. Have a drink in the relaxed outdoor area beneath a stern circle of carved Prussian eagles.

M25
M25 ‘In Electronica We Trust’ is M25’s motto, and in M25 we trust. This cavernous place has one of the best sound systems in town and is to the fore in dance and cultural events in Warsaw.

Punkt
Popular with a hipper brand of student, the murky stained glass here conceals a den of wannabe urban chic, complete with cutting-edge music and fashionable ennui. Look for the permanent gaggle of people on the steps outside.
