Description

Itas true a Warsaw, one of the hottest clubs in Brooklyn doubles as the Polish National Home, hosting Patti Smith one night and throwing a polka party the next a literally. Order up a z-beer, known as Zywiec to Slavic people who can speak without vowels, and take in a show in the huge ballroom. Or skip the band, walk to the other side of the venue, and for next to nothing order up a pile pierogis, kielbasa and sauerkraut, served up by a saucy middle-aged Polish woman with a penchant for leopard print. Time for another z-beer.

  • 2002 | Best Gnocchi and Mod Rock

    Forget the ol' slice of pizza on the way to a show. If WARSAW is your destination, you're in luck: Between the merch tables in the side room, tasty Polish treats are for sale at prices good enough to eat, so taking a break from the huge ballroom of a main floor doesn't have to be limited to bar or bathroom. The friendly, cafeteria-style dining setup is conducive to making actual conversation, so you'll have an excuse to talk to that cute hipster across the table--even if just to tell him... More »

    Nine years ago, the Unsound Festival ambitiously attempted to bring together artists on the cutting edge of various genres—everything from drone metal to neo-classical—all in the same place. Then, that place happened to be Kraków, Poland, but in 2... More »
