Warsaw – Beer and Bones Craft Beer Bar

Easter has caused some surprise and delight to the tram schedules in Warsaw and at times it feels like the logic is just to let the driver go wherever they fancy. However, after some faffing about whilst it poured down with rain, I managed to get to my intended destination of Beer and Bones whilst only being slightly damp.

I wondered how busy it would be on a Friday night over Easter weekend, but there’s the answer.

The bar area and although the beer list isn’t clearly visible here, they put it on-line at https://beer-bones.ontap.pl/ for anyone who wants to peruse it. The service was friendly, immediate and welcoming, with the team members being knowledgeable about the beer offering.

I went for the chorizo burger with fries and it was better presented than this photo suggests. They didn’t bring cutlery, but who needs such devices anyway as a primal approach is just easier. The burger, as is usual in Poland, was cooked medium to be pink in the middle and it was juicy and the slices of chorizo added some extra flavour. I think I would have rather they cooked some sizzling chorizo up rather than using slices, but the taste was there. The chips were firm on the exterior and fluffy on the interior, with a heap of jalapenos to add to the mix. Really all rather delightful.

The beer is the Sir Nick from Piwoteka and it’s cheesecake pastry stout. I thought that it was more like chocolate milk, but it was creamy and reasonably rich. The end taste was a little sweet and the flavours could have been a little more punchy.

It’s a very decent bar and it’s located literally next door to Hopito, so a mini bar crawl isn’t exactly difficult. The welcome was friendly, the food was excellent, the beer selection was well curated and the pricing was moderate for the centre of Poland’s capital. All really rather lovely and it did get slightly busier during the hour or so I was in there. I’d add that the journey back was much smoother and the tram went in the same direction as I had anticipated it would.
