Nightlife in Warsaw
Most people out for a few drinks converge on the area round Nowy Swiat. Dressed-up revellers should check out the Theatre Quarter with its clubs and bars, while those looking for something alternative should head across the river to the Praga district. Order Mad Dog, a vodka with syrup and Tabasco cocktail at Porto Praga. Bars close with the last customer, which at weekends could mean dawn.
