Warsaw has 7 hotel bars in the BarMagazine directory, and Lane's Gin Bar leads the pack. The 5 below are the ones we would send you to first. This guide covers the hotel bars specifically; the full Warsaw picture, all 16 bars of it, lives on the city page. Each listing is verified, with the address, opening hours and what to order.
Lane's is the gin bar inside Hotel Bristol on Krakowskie Przedmieście. Cocktails arrive in hand made glassware in a range of unusual shapes, and the menu reaches past the printed list into a Little Black Book of handwritten notes and recipes kept by the bar team. The spirits portfolio is chosen around gin but travels widely. The Signatures section leads with the house named Lane's Lychee Martini, and continues into drinks such as Yoru 75, which lifts No. 3 gin and grapefruit cordial with champagne. Nikkei plates built for sharing bring Peruvian and Japanese cooking together. The bar takes no reservations and admits adults only.
The Roof is a skybar on the twenty first floor of the Crowne Plaza Warsaw at Rondo Daszyńskiego, with an outdoor terrace and a wide view across the center of the city. The bar keeps its own cocktail list, divided into house creations, classics, alcohol free builds and a premium tier. House drinks include Rye and Jam with Bulleit rye, peanut butter and creme de mure, and Collapsed Collins with Chivas 12, carrot, ginger and Suze. Smoked and grilled small plates run alongside, from cauliflower skewers to a ceviche dressed with Bloody Mary. DJs play every Friday and Saturday. Entry is for adults only, and reservations are taken by email or phone.
Victoria Lounge is the lounge bar of the Sofitel Warsaw Victoria on Królewska, looking out over Plac Piłsudskiego. A grand marble bar anchors the room, backed by softly lit shelves of premium spirits and a refined design. The team mixes signature cocktails that pair classic technique with a modern turn, and the list extends to aperitifs, champagnes, wines and liqueurs. A bar menu of carefully composed bites comes from the hotel's executive chef. Doors open at nine in the morning, so the room starts the day over coffee and shifts character as the evening comes on, working for a friendly get together or a business meeting.
B-Heaven is the rooftop bar of the Barceló Warsaw Powiśle, set on the fifth floor with a spacious terrace and a panorama that takes in the Vistula. Craft cocktails are prepared by the hotel's mixologists and sit beside a premium spirits and liqueur selection and a wine list built on established appellations and cava. The terrace is presented as the only one in Warsaw with a rooftop pool, which runs seasonally. The kitchen brings Polish flavors together with Italian, Asian and Mediterranean ideas, and gluten free or vegetarian menus can be arranged in advance. The room carries an industrial look that echoes the converted power station it sits above.
Ether is the rooftop bar on the nineteenth floor of the NYX Hotel Warsaw at Chmielna 71, inside the Varso Place complex beside Varso Tower. The terrace looks across the glass towers of the city center and is set up for long evenings, with comfortable sofas, sunbeds, DJ music and a list of signature cocktails. Sunsets over the capital are a large part of what the hotel sells here. The space also works for events, taking up to 150 people, with welcome drinks arranged to order. It opens daily from four in the afternoon until one in the morning, though only in good weather, which makes it effectively a spring and summer room.
