    Yes, 3 times! Loads of pubs and bars in Stare Miasto (Old Town). Also In the main square (Dlugi Targ). Don't be afraid to wander out of the main square either.... very safe and some nice places there too.
    There are also loads of places by the canal.

    PS! At 2200 the girls come out to entice you into the local strip club at the top end of the Dlugi Targ.

    Enjoy!!! You'll love it :)

    Went in the Communist era and exchanged a pair of cufflinks costing £1.25 (it was 1968) with enough zlotys to rent a house for a month and pay all my other expenses.

    I'd recommend the Solidarity museum if you get sick of drinking and fancy soaking up some knowledge/culture

    No, I desist from journeying anyplace that rides roughshod over the universal conventions of written language and places two hard consonants at the embarkation of the locution without a vowel betwixt. I couldn't even begin to accurately pronounce a word beginning GD. And I've no ******* idea where it is.

    If you struggle to pronounce words starting with "gd", you must have serious problems when greeting Australians in their native tongue.

    Plenty of bars. Best places are top of Długa are a few pubs with live music, decent bar left after Costa coffe, also get a kebab from Alanya Kebap just off Długa! Also just past the arches at top of Długa and turn left there is like a square where they usually have events on. A few bars surround that. Cheap lager, the best are Perła, Warka, Lech and Kasterlan and Żywiec. Most of the vodka is spot on. Try Żubrówka bison grass. Look out for the girls with umbrellas . Food, Bobby Burger is excellent (near Madison shopping centre) if you fancy a good omelette or Polish breakfast try Lookier on Długa. You have to give the ice cream a go at Grycan, get the biggest one possible. Check out Mariacka Street at night and also Piwna Street is pretty lively. Lots of beautiful women to admire too.
