DRINK! Craft Beer
BIG BROTHER, LITTLE SISTER
Consolidation? Accomplished. With Warsaw’s thirst for craft beer showing no sign of slowing, more tap bars are extending their footprint and opening elsewhere…
ul. Nowogrodzka 4 The natural start (or finish) point of any Nowogrodzka pub crawl, head to The Double D for a space that conjures to mind a disused power station: sporting rugged brickwork and a scuffed style, the neoindustrial look is ramped up with the liberal use of steel girders, vintage voltage meters and toilets disguised as elevator shafts. Sixteen taps to drink through, many of them offering extreme drinking solutions from Europe’s most radical breweries. Looks great, tastes great, a factor that ensures a male-tofemale ratio that feels roughly equal.

ul. Tarczyńska 5/9 Choice is thinner than the original (just eight taps), but there’s something here that really seems to work. Set over two floors, there’s a warmth and atmosphere that radiates throughout. An interesting design inspired by the original is matched with decent pizzas and a location down a leafy side street that’s gradually getting noticed for its neighborhood scene.
