Warsaw Nightlife
Warsaw's nightlife is one of the best in Eastern Europe, with a multitude of bars and clubs scattered across the city. The 'hipper' places are either truly worth visiting or too full of bravado, velvet ropes and bouncers. Posing comes in high doses in many places, so be prepared to see lots of well- (and/or barely) dressed women, with men in shirts and shoes. Big name DJs do make their way to Warsaw, and in the summer, many nightspots offer outdoor drinking areas. A good source of information on cafés, pubs and clubs in Warsaw is the monthly Warsaw Insider (www.warsawinsider.pl).
Warsaw is paradise for culture vultures. In terms of classical music, the National Philharmonic and National Opera, both based here, are the country's most celebrated. And several of the best known theatres in the country are in Warsaw.
The Warsaw Tourist Office has a useful weekly and annual online calendar of cultural events (www.warsawtour.pl). The English-language Warsaw Voice (www.warsawvoice.pl) includes a weekly listing of events, as does the monthly Warsaw Insider magazine (www.warsawinsider.pl).
In addition to the venues themselves, you can buy tickets at Eventim, Aleje Jerozolimskie 25 (tel: +48 22 591 8383; www.eventim.pl), and at EMPiK, Ulica Nowy Swiat 15/17 (tel: 022 462 7250; www.empik.com).

Plan B
In the southern reaches of Warsaw, Plan B attracts a young, studenty crowd with regular DJs and a bohemian air. It’s most pleasant in the warmer months when the crowd makes for the outdoors and the party takes over nearby Plac Zbawiciela, a nearby circular square that was the setting for Krzysztof Krauze's 2006 film of that name.

Aleje Wyzwolenia 18, Warsaw, 00-570, Poland

Podwale Bar and Books
An offshoot of the legendary New York cigar and whiskey bar, this sophisticated joint is set in a historic building just off Old Town Square. The British colonial-style decor is all dim lighting and dark wood furnishings, and there's a fine cocktail and premium whisky selection (along with some bar snacks). Watch out for regular live music and burlesque shows. Decent ventilation keeps the smoke from cigar smokers manageable, but if you're sensitive to it you may find it a bit much.
