Prochownia Żoliborz

Warsaw


Although this convivial cafe-bar is worth visiting year-round for its excellent coffee, craft beers and wines, it's really between mid-March to the end of October, when it gets warm enough to sit outside, that Prochownia Żoliborz comes into its own. Fairy lights twinkle in the trees, while customers lounge in deck chairs and catch up with friends.

Check its Facebook page for news on regular events, including DJs, open-air cinema screenings and various DIY workshops.
