Centrum Hadlowo-Usłagowe

Dive through the archway at ul Novy Śiwat 26 and you'll discover Centrum Hadlowo-Usłagowe, a collection of bars, eateries and shops in stark contrast to the rapidly modernising face of 21st-century Warsaw. Here tiny drinking holes with names such as Pemek and Windigo fill a T-junction of squat concrete bunkers, attracting a young, bohemian crowd eager to avail of the relaxed vibe and cosy retro furniture.

There's also outdoor seating, but the open-air party moves inside at 22:00 due to city regulations. Lining the stomach is no problem either, with Turkish available from Kafefajka and Antalya, sushi from Besuto, and Asian from Cô tú.
