Bar Polski

The West End


With around 60 different Polish spirits on offer – from hazelnut- and wheat-flavoured vodkas to slivowica (plum brandy) – every devotee of strong liquor should find something to their taste at this tucked-away little bar. For around £8 to £10 there’s great Polish food like bigos (hunter's stew of sauerkraut and smoked meats) and pierogis (dumplings), but the triangular, tiled interior lacks atmosphere.
