Bar Budapest

Gdansk Bookstore Cafe

Come here for books, craft beers and sharing opinions over a plate of pickled herring.

Overview

This intimate drinking spot is a locals favourite, opened by a Polish immigrant — hence its name — it oozes intellectual vibes that are akin to the original coffee houses of Europe.

At Gdansk , cheap vodka and dim lights set the scene perfectly, complemented by a selection of Polish and Hungarian craft beers alongside a curated collection of books.

The main menu feature? Baltic Sea rollmops, aka pickled herring,  served with onions and rye bread. Rumour has it that tables are always full, so good luck if you decide to venture here.
