The saddest thing about leaving Warsaw was leaving this place behind! A dedicated Kraken rum bar,…read morewith exclusive Kraken beer, and full seafood menu as well as cocktails; what more could a birthday girl ask for?!
We arrived a bit late for my birthday dinner, but thank the sea gods they serve food till midnight, and though it was still heaving we managed to get a seat right away. Like I said, the menu is all seafood, so if squid and crustaceans don't rock your boat, then go for the cocktails!
We picked the mussels, fish curry, salmon tatar and mixed seafood to share between 3. You order at the bar and when your dishes are ready your table number is called and you collect it from the bar. It's quite loud, and in Polish (obviously!) so it was a bit hard to listen out for our food, but the staff were sooo lovely that they called ours out in English when they realised it was our table. I could not fault a thing we ate, though I would have preferred a bit more lighting to actually be able to see it, especially as my companions weren't fans of the octopus, so it was left to me to hoover up the delicious tentacles and squid. Poor me, I hear you say. Well, someone had to take one for the team.
The cocktails were out of this world, and so reasonably priced, but considering the exchange rate and general cheapness of the city, I could say that about everything. The wee barman that served us most of the time was a total star, and made a nice fuss for my birthday, so much so we put a shot of tequila to the side for him.
The music isn't really to my taste, and it's pretty loud and dark, with only one toilet serving both here and it's adjoining bar, but none of that really had any negative effect on the evening. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my birthday!
