Plan B

Warsaw


A legendary Warsaw watering hole, this grungy, upstairs bar on Plac Zbawiciela invariably draws a crowd. Find some couch space and relax to smooth beats from regular DJs. On warm summer evenings the action spills out onto the street, giving the square the feel of a summer block party.
