Warsaw

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


What do pierogi (Polish dumplings) have in common with punk rock? Why, this rockin' stage inside the no-frills and friendly Polish National Home! There are good views in the old ballroom for shows ranging from death metal to Mongolian folk rock and sultry funk. Polish ladies serve bigos (cabbage stew), kielbasa sandwiches and beers under the disco balls. Cash only.
