    10 out of 10 This is not only a Cocktail bar, it’s more like a friendly atmosphere place to chill. We come here not only to drink, we share the story, laugh and enjoy our special request. We have 3 friends, we don’t call what’s in the menu ( we tried all of them mostly already :P), our special request is always well served with surprise. Magda I guess, always gave us what we wanted for our feeling. Same same but different :) Thank you and yes, our favorite spot in Warsaw is here

    Amazing place. Great cocktails. Beautiful Natali. I wish you all to be in top-50 global bars, because you totally deserve it.

    The first time I go to this cocktail bar. The location of this place would not make you think at first that it is an exceptional cocktail bar, but you will understand when you walk in the door. I found the staff to be very pleasant, English speaking and very customer friendly. Served with a glass of water and peanuts, you can enjoy the art of mixology before your very eyes and witness the rather exceptional taste. The cocktail menu is quite varied, you will find what you are looking for knowing that the price is really affordable for this quality of product and service. I highly recommend it for all cocktail fans passing through Warsaw.

    Absolute magical place for a nice evening with good cocktails in a quieter and hidden place . The service is superb, friendly and if you wish they will chat friendly about the recipes. The cocktails are unique, savoury, brut but polished. If you are not a fan of sweet drinks - you will find heaven. When Long Islands and martinis become too mundane I like to realign here.

    Interesting and delicious cocktails. Top notch service. The waiter was really busy, but still had the time to chat with us about their cocktails and helped us to meet our needs (give that man with glasses a raise). 10/10 would recommend. Will come again.

    Well located in the heart of Warsaw, El Koktel is probably one of the best cocktail bar in town. Their menu is creative and the concoctions are delicious. Cozy place with a prohibition vibe and the staff is knowledgeable & friendly!

    We've been twice already and we are definitely coming back for more. Delicious and surprising/well composed cocktails, but even more importantly - great speakeasy atmosphere and vibe, super attentive and helpful staff and smiles to greet you.

    Easily one of the best cocktail bars in the world, and I've visited several on the top 100 list. We had 5 different cocktails and each was unique, well balanced and delicious. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of their craft. They were experimenting with a wasabi distillate if that gives you a hint into their genius! Whiskey fans must try Enter the Void!

    We enjoyed the evening pretty much! Fantastic ambience and cocktails at a very high skill level. I definetely recommend the Negroni composition!

    In the heart of Warsaw, El Koktel delivers a great experience and delicious cocktails. It is clear the menu is crafted with a lot of knowledge and love, and the taste of the cocktails really shows for it. A delicious snack board on the menu enhances the drinking. The place is small but the atmosphere certainly is not! The place has cozy vibes, dim lighting, and a wonderful attentive staff. As I sat at a bar my drinks were made pretty much immediately. I was always able to ask about the ingredients, the process, or even the story of a cocktail. By the end I asked for a custom cocktail and it tasted like heaven. I absolutely loved El Koktel with everything it offers and can easily say it is one of the best cocktail bars I had been to in Europe. Very much recommended!

    OMG! This is a true gem in Warsaw! This is one of the best cocktail bars I've been to, and I've been to quite a few. It has a proper speak-easy feel where you have to ring a door bell to be let in. The service is impeccable and the drinks are amazing! This is an essential visit if you're in Warsaw. The drinks menu is very impressive, they make their own gin (try the negroni!) in-house and several of the cocktails include a great show of bartender skills.

    Excellent personalized service with great atmosphere, and delicious cocktails that are a treat to drink, and entrance via doorbell just adds to the whole experience!

    Stepped into El Koktel and found an enchanting speakeasy vibe. Sipped on an exquisite cocktail served in a unique cup cradled by a ceramic hand – a touch of the dramatic that speaks to the bar's creative flair. The prompt "Blackout" on the card invited an intriguing introspective moment. It's not just a drink here; it's an immersive experience. A must-visit for those who love their cocktails with a side of the extraordinary.

    The cocktails are creative with a nice twist. The staff is really nice and helpful, and masters of their craft. They were helpful to accommodate our dietary needs as well which was a great plus :) All in all a cosy place, artsy and creative with cool staff and nice atmosphere

    A hidden pearl! Lovely staff serving well crafted drinks with an interesting character. The drink on the photo is "Enter the Void".

  • 5/5 GT_R G. 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic and extremely sophisticated bar! It's a very small one and you need to ring the door bell to get access to the bar by a waiter. You feel very highly treated as costumer, the bartender is every newcomer explaining the concept of the menu and the drinks. They provide water and nuts for free and replenish it without asking, great! The cheese plate is great and very delicious. The cocktail have a lot of creativity so don't expect tons of classical cocktails more like new creation and experience. But so well done that you will be impressed by their creation and taste. The cocktail are small but tasty and have a good punch of good quality of alcohol. Expect prices around 40 PLN per Cocktail. I highly recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Genkorr 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Great place to have a few drinks. Great choice of different cocktails. My favourite one was Kwasna Marta. If you like sour stuff then you will definitely like it. The waiter is very welcoming and is always there when you need him. They welcome you with a free water glass and a bowl of salty and sweet peanuts. They always refill it when it's empty. The place itself is small but you feel very cozy there. Also, they have single-use towels in the toilets as if you're in a hotel. Will visit again if I come back to Warsaw.

    This bar is so lovely. Very quiet and intimate. It feels like a speak easy. The staff are so kind and welcoming. Really great drinks with unique flavors. I would recommend making a reservation if you have more than just 2 people. I will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Warsaw.

    It's one of the kind place. If you love warm and friendly service, cosy and stylish interior, chill and awesome atmosphere, and most importantly perfect drinks - this is the place. Staff love what they do and you can feel it. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Philipp 2 years ago on Google
    In my regards this is a masterpiece of a bar. The place is run by very friendly, highly skilled people who leave the impression of being passionful about everything they do. You have to feel it for yourself, and you need to taste a 'Space Oddity'.

  • 5/5 Małgorzata Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Extra place for nice and extraordinary drinks. Very cozy, intimate atmosphere. Worth to check for sure 🙂

  • 5/5 Iwona S. 2 years ago on Google

    Everyone knows what is a coctail. In this.place they know everything about coctails.They cocktails list is impressing and inspiring. Keep an eye contact with bartender. He will trigger your inner ego and bring it to the surface with an yummy custom drink. Coctail therapy. That's what they are doing under this business. And they're Masters in it.

  • 5/5 Johan O. 2 years ago on Google
    Best cocktail bar in Warsaw so far!

  • 5/5 Diana O. 5 years ago on Google
    Probably the best cocktail place in Warsaw. The setup is great, design, location. But this place is about the experience. Everything, from the way you enter to the way your drinks are chosen, prepared, served, described, reviewed... It is an experience. I dare say - even their restroom is unusual (in a good way). The cocktails here have been tasty, balanced strength - and really based on incremental improvements and choices. I do encourage you to share any feedback with the servers, as you will see it incorporated into the next drink, leading to a good, personalized experience. *** make a reservation if you want to go on Saturday or you are more than 2-3 people

  • 5/5 Paloma R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Robert D. 2 years ago on Google
    I had planned to visit this bar years ago, but then covid-19 struck. Now I finally got to come here and I must say it was worth the wait. The staff was really welcoming and the menu is very creative and interesting. All of the cocktails we tried were to our liking and the drinks arrived very fast after ordering them. The design of the bar is cool and you feel very comfortable sitting there. I would love to come back here next time I'm in Warsaw.

  • 5/5 Bory P. 2 years ago on Google
    Definetely the best cocktail bar in Warsaw!

  • 5/5 ORHAN H. 2 years ago on Google
    We rang the bell to get in and suddenly somebody showed up and we were on the wait list. The place is cosy and the botique that only serves about 30 people. There is a menü but you can also order anything whatever your taste is like. The waiters were so polite and served us cucumber water and some nuts throught out the night.

  • 5/5 Łukasz T. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks served there are not common. They are created with a lot of thought and it pays off. Really nice experience that I didn't find in any other place.

  • 5/5 Agnes W. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down one of the top 5 cocktail bars in Warsaw. If you can sit at the bar, do so. The bartenders are really knowledgeable and you can watch them prepare drinks right in front of you. Pretty much all the cocktails are unique to the place. Make sure to call up in advance, especially on the weekend as they can get super busy.

  • 5/5 Gabriel 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff and service, they really went a long way to make us feel comfortable and invited. I'm not much of a cocktail connoisseur and am more about the classics, so to me some of the ones I tried were definitely really out there. But you definitely can't call them bland or boring! Had a great time there!

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a great atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and accommodating for english speakers. The drinks are very unique and worth a try. Make sure to have a reservation as it has limited seating available.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    A bar that really surprised. As soon as we stood at the door, we already knew that it would be a good place. We sat down at the bar, the bartenders are very friendly and you can see that they know their job very well. Cocktails are prepared with love and very tasty. Be sure to stop by!

  • 5/5 Al-Attar C. 1 year ago on Google
    Immediately fell in love with this little hidden gem in Warsaw. Interesting cocktails, and thier own gin to die for. If you into quality cocktails in a calm atmosphere with awesome service. That's the place to visit.

  • 5/5 elisaque n. 1 year ago on Google
    Small but very cozy. I loved the atmosphere. Bartenders were kind and very communicative:) I ordered Nuclear – loved it, it was so tasty and full of various flavours, yet they fit together perfectly. It was very fresh and sweet, yet little bit sour, but that’s how I personally like it. If you’re not a fan of strong alcoholic flavours, this one is for you:)

  • 5/5 Dariya S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best cocktail bar in Warsaw ! Cozy, with simple and stylish design, very welcoming staff, unique menu with ranking drinks from softer to stronger ones. You’ll definitely find your cocktail there. Special thanks to bartender Machek. We will definitely be back!
