Cheap beer. Large portions of good food. Maybe not excellent but good and tasty. Traditional Polish and Czech cuisine. Very crowded on weekends.

Good Czech PUB... real atmosphere and food. Real Pilzner with real foam :-) Good for a meeting with Friends and good for bringing foreigners to show different pub culture. Friendly staff and good balance between value and money

In other places I usually eat 50zl meat plates for 2 persons alone. My brother orders dessert too. Here we both failed to finish one plate. And it was high quality meal. To sum our experiences up: epic win.

We went on the recommendation of a random person who we met who lives in Warsaw. We ordered the platter of meats for 55zl. They claim it is for minimum 2 people, but the 4 of us ate ourselves full on that platter. It was a tasty, carnivorous meal. We really enjoyed it.

the cheapest place for a bear in Warsaw I guess. The food just OK, plenty of space for consumers. It is very popular and the decor of interior is nice.

I swear to God cannot belive what happened with this restaurant. Absolutely disappointed with customer service. You guys have good food, fantastic music, brilliant alcohol but people who are working there, well not all but most of them are totally useless. Person who was serving us on the firstfloor was terrible, arrogant and homophobic. Thanks a million for being rude... More

There are usually long queues to get in but the queue moves fast so dont be put off by this. Once inside the food is plentiful. We ate duck among other things and it was delicious. The portions are huge so dont over order. The prices are also great as is the beer. All in all a good night out!

Visuted with my girlfriend while on a city break! The food was fantastic and the portions huge! Potato pancake with mushroom sauce and a litre beer went down very nicely! My girlfriend got a chicken/pork/vegetable skewer and it was nice aswell! Very nice interior! I liked how they give you a shot of cherry liqueur with your bill!

If, like me, you love traditional polish cuisine with its generous portions, this is the place for you! I love the big plates of meat (deska), the fat spread (smalec), but most of all pork knuckle (golonka): delicious! I forgot to mention the veeeery large beers, nice atmosphere and the funny folk bands that sometimes play in the background. My... More
