    Extremely good experience. Sit at the bar to have the best experience and talk with bartenders. They really can take care of you. Service is premium, like it should be in this kind of a place, water constantly refilled we wouldn't even have to ask for it. Small things make all the difference. We were happy to pay extra for it. I will certainly be coming back.

    This was a fantastic bar experience! The bartender and hostess who took took care of us were so funny and the cocktails were solid classics. The bar is elegant and you can see that they have put thought into everything they do. Chris(spelling?) the bartender helped us get a table at a restaurant he recommended and we are very grateful for that. They have jazz nights sometimes it seems, unfortunately we could not come back to experience that this time. We will be back next time we are in Warsaw!

    Top notch sophisticated speakeasy. Delicious cocktails and outstanding service. Live jazz music and excellent background music. Make sure to make a reservation, they let us in for an hour as we were walk-ins but it for very busy very fast. The door is hard to find but keep looking, it's worth it!

    PHENOMENAL In all honesty the joint best place in Warsaw. Everything here is perfection. PHENOMENAL drinks, employing incredible combinations of flavours and leaving a lasting impression. (Peru is the top 3 cocktails I've ever tasted) PHENOMENAL staff who are welcoming, helpful, funny and engage you in a conversation while providing the best recommendations. PHENOMENAL atmosphere, the dark, scent-filled area makes and impression, and the cozy yet elegant interior will make this a great date night. Wow, just wow - on a 5 point scale this place is a 10.

    Our #1 in Warsaw by far. Great, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff. On our first night we couldn't get in without a reservation, but the door girl gave us other recommendations in the city. The second night we reserved, and sat at the bar. The drinks are great, well-balanced, and tasty. The bartender (Urszula) is amazing, she also mixed us a couple of things off the menu based on our tastes.

    A bit hidden which is great as you only have people who know the bar coming by. We went 2 times during a 4 day trip. That should say it all 👌🏽

    Excellent atmosphere! The cocktails are absolutely delicious for, in my book, affordable prices for the quality and a premium bar in Warsaw. Big recommendation on my part!

    Had a great night there ordering and suggesting things for new cocktails. Great up until the bill arrived. Beware. Every suggestion or addition to your cocktail will be charged. Ended up paying 96 zloty for one cocktail. Unfortunately I assumed all the good gesture additions were good gestures. No. You have to pay for everything. Sour end to a lovely beginning

    Pretty noisy for a speakeasy. We went on a Saturday night and place was absolutely packed. Front lady almost yelled at us standing on the sidewalk if we had a reservation, otherwise entrance was forbidden due to the amount of people. Drinks were ok nothing spectacular, price was a bit too much given the whole experience and the atmosphere in which we almost cannot hear each other talk. A band was playing and it was somewhat nice but only the 4 tables in the front could hear them properly. Not coming back anytime soon.

    What a special experience!! The drinks were fantastic, of course, and their drink menu was literal art. They sell the menu as a souvenir which I’ve never seen before but can fully understand why; it’s a stunningly designed book. The service was fabulous and the music/lighting/decor/ambiance were just incredible. Was a little hard to find (just keep going until you reach the end of the sidewalk - it’s in an unmarked door exactly where the location is on the map).

    This is an amazing place, so hard to find, you litterally have to guess the right door :-D the service wonderful, very comfy chairs, great atmospere, dim light and nice music, the coctails are delicious, not cheap but also no super expensive. Definately recommend to reserve a table prior to arriving. Only downside I see there is no tapas to go with the coctails, but nothing that would stop me coming again :-)

    What an experience! Stepping inside is like going through a time machine to a different period. The venue is very well presented. Clean and high end in all aspects. The staff are some of the most professional staff I've came across in Warsaw with a near native level of English. As somebody that enjoys exploring new cocktails and ingredients I felt like I had found the perfect bar for me when looking through the menu. They had two menus available. One for the classics and one for in-house creations. Water was served upon ordering and Olives. The water was kept topped up without any need to request. The drinks were served in a reasonable time and met our expectations. There was live music (one singer and piano player). It was just nice background music, without being overwhelming and low enough to have an easy conversation. One nice point to add too, is when selecting a seat for us the waiter asked if we preferred to be closer to the music or away from it. Definitely give this place a try. If I had a friend visiting Warsaw for one day then this is the place I'd recommend. It would be great for a first date too. I would give it six stars if I could.

    Amazing place! Each time I visit warsaw I plan to jump by this special bar. It is small but in a charming way,like you are getting into a whole different world from a back door of a building. You immediately go back to the 1920's when the cocktail culture was part of the daily life. Their signature cocktails are well thought, and surely you can find yourself one or two to enjoy. They have also a nice variety of classic cocktails that I would not miss and this time I was drinking 3 of them and wasn't disappointed. I really recommend this place for every cocktail enthusiast or just for someone who want to take a break and enjoy an evening in a classy way.

  • 5/5 Martijn W. 5 years ago on Google
    Absolutely nice place to go for a relaxing drink! Interior in combination with the music gives it an amazing atmosphere, bar personnel is very friendly and will do anything to make sure you have a good time! Might be a bit tricky to find, but do your best for it, it will be worth it!

  • 3/5 Lars H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, but after trying four different drinks we concluded we wouldn’t order any of these drinks again - and a cocktail bar that doesn’t serve drinks you like, no interior design can fully make up for that. All cocktails have an abundance of syrup, making everything very thick and sugary.

    Walking the Warsaw’s streets, feeling blue, missing something…? Probably you need a stiff drink, but you’re sick of stingy bartnders, replacing alcohol with some artificial, sugary fluids. Then walk into an authentic speakeasy, the kind of you can know from New York City, London or Chicago. Backroom Bar will pamper you with masterful mixtures, decocted from the best spirits. Don’t be afraid to ask about the ingredients of every drink, as the elegant owner will be happy to tell the story of each one. My personal recommendation.

    One of the best places to visit when in Warsaw. Extraordinary cocktails, top-notch ambience and superb waiters. Nothing to add. If you discovered this place you really found a gem!

  • 5/5 Олександра �. 11 months ago on Google
    Very cool place, delicious cocktails, cozy atmosphere, not loud so you can chat with friends. It is difficult to find the entrance, focus on Babski concept, then the tattoo salon and after it the second doors.

  • 1/5 Benjamin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Completely impossible to find. No signage, no lights, nothing. Tried twice to track it down.

    Amazing speak easy bar. Pleasant atmosphere and good music. Waiters are very polite and speak English. Highly recommend this place

  • 4/5 Lupu C. 11 months ago on Google
    You will not find the place in the first try, most likely. It felt like the venue is used mostly by couples. Live music is a nice touch and the feeling of 19 century bar is pleasant.

  • 5/5 Anna A. 2 years ago on Google
    Unique place with great atmosphere. Interesting cocktails. We were there with our friends, everyone liked the taste of drinks. Recommend!

    I had the pleasure of visiting an amazing drink bar recently, and I have to say that it was truly an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the drinks were absolutely fantastic. But what really stood out to me were the two bartenders, Dominika and Maciek. These two were truly the stars of the night, and they made my visit one to remember. Not only were they incredibly skilled at mixing drinks, but they were also extremely friendly and personable. They took the time to talk to me and get to know me, and they even made recommendations based on my preferences. What I loved about Dominika and Maciek was their attention to detail. They took the time to craft each drink with care, making sure that every ingredient was just right. And the end result was nothing short of perfection. Overall, I would highly recommend this drink bar to anyone looking for a great night out. The atmosphere was wonderful, the drinks were amazing, and Dominika and Maciek truly made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a place with talented and friendly bartenders, look no further than this fantastic drink bar.

    Lovely place. Honestly. The personnel is helpful, competent and very nice. The drinks are really unique, interesting and good. Music is not load, the place is not huge but very, very cozy. I will be back definitely.

  • 5/5 Aiden C. 1 year ago on Google
    Realy sweet cocktail bar, staff is knowledgeable. I recommend the delicious sour. Finding the spot can be a bit tricky the first time, but that only adds to the speakeasy-like appeal.

  • 2/5 Aga B. 1 year ago on Google
    I booked the table at BackRoom Bar some 3 weeks ago and specifically asked for one in the room at the back, not the one with the bar & music as I wanted to be able to have a conversation. The reservation was confirmed without any comments. When I arrived yesterday evening I was asked to sit at the table just next to the singer (1m away or even less) therefore I asked if they have a different one. Despite at least 2 tables available in the back room I was told the only alternative is the table in the corridor by the toilet! As all other tables are booked and the guests will be arriving in ca 30 minutes - which was not true - one was free for 2 hours, the second for at least 1 hour. I was inclined to leave, but since I invited someone, we decided to take the table by the toilet. Later on the girl serving the drinks explained that they do not book particular tables - a pity this was not made clear when I did the booking. Yes, the drinks were good - each of us had 2 different, but overall the experience was bad. The door to the place were non- stop open, as the place was busy, and it became so cold at our table that I had to put my jacket on. When we were leaving it took the guy 10-15 minutes to find my friends’ jacket… very disappointing overall.

    Very nice place to have a good drink. Wide variety of choice, professional service. Definitely worth visiting when going out in the evening.

  • 5/5 Sebastian R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic atmosphere, very good quality cocktails and super nice service and bartender. Were visiting from Germany and were allowed to sit directly at the bar. Also got a Margarita with the bartenders favorite smoky mescal on his recommendation. Definitely highlighted the city trip to Warsaw in a positive way. Greetings from Düsseldorf

    I honestly don't think that there's a better cocktail bar out there. I am totally, completely and wholly in love with this place and I will visit it every time I'm in Warsaw.
