Absurdalna

Katowice


Decked out in surreal art, lit by a galaxy of candy-coloured globes dangling from the ceiling and boasting 15-plus intriguing draught beers alongside a fine selection of craft meads, Absurdalna is a very Polish hipster hang-out. Moreish pub food such as pulled-pork quesadillas and burgers topped with local grilled sheep's cheese round off one of central Katowice's best drinking options.
