The Best Bars in Gdańsk

Goldwasser, the herbal liqueur with flakes of 22-carat gold leaf floating in the bottle, traces its origins to Gdańsk in 1598. The best bars in Gdańsk sit mostly in the historic center, with one more out in Wrzeszcz, a district of late 19th-century tenements whose nightlife centers on Wajdeloty Street. On Chlebnicka, Flisak '76 has stayed in one family since 1976 and now runs on themed menus served in playful vessels, from a perfume bottle with a bulb atomizer to a miniature cannon; the Bartenders' Choice Awards CEE 2026 gave it Poland's Best Cocktail Menu. High 5 Terrace Bar sits on the fifth floor of the Hilton on Targ Rybny, its roof terrace facing the Motława and the Old Town. Dom Whisky Cocktail Bar on Chmielna opens from midday on Fridays and Saturdays. In Wrzeszcz, Eliksir pairs food and drink around a 15-meter bar stocked with more than 400 spirits and mixes its own tonic and ginger beer. Book ahead at Flisak '76 and Eliksir. These are the bars we would start with.
