Rusty Rat stands at Bogusławskiego 23 in Wrocław and calls itself a place where the modern cocktail scene meets craft cooking and the local character of the city. The current card is titled Classic Cocktails and is inspired by the Rusty Rat Bartender's Manual, the book the bar published in 2020 and still sells at the bar. It gathers ten timeless classics chosen for spring, among them a Turf Club No. 2 built on house spring bitters. The team runs trainings, workshops and premium spirit tastings that focus on history, aroma and context. Food runs to burgers in a butter bun, beef tartare and fries cooked in beef tallow.
T57 sits at Tęczowa 57 in Wrocław and is reached through a hidden passage from the BlackBeard barber shop, which the bar presents as part of its speakeasy character. It describes itself as a modern cocktail bar built on a passion for spirits and hospitality. The current card, Liquid Food Volume III, turns dishes into drinks and is laid out as a meal, with soups, starters, mains and desserts, so Tom Yum and Barszcz Czerwony arrive in glasses. The team leans on seasonal fruit, exotic spices and homemade syrups, and gives its zero proof list the same treatment. An intimate cigar room pairs Cuban cigars with rum. Adults only.

The Wrocław cocktail bar of Dom Whisky, the Polish premium spirits shop and bar group founded in 2009, sits on Rzeźnicza in the old town. The group's bars serve classic and signature cocktails alongside a deep whisky selection, in a modern setting. The Wrocław room is built around a long bar and a round, backlit bottle tower, with lounge armchairs and tables around it.

Papa Bar fills a renovated tenement on the Wrocław market square, a 400 square metre space that works as both cocktail bar and restaurant. At its centre is a large oak bar stocked with close to a thousand bottles, where the team mixes drinks with fresh ingredients. The current cocktail list builds each drink around a single seasonal fruit, and the kitchen changes its dishes with the seasons.

Szkocka opened in January 2023 inside the old Dworzec Świebodzki station building and describes itself as a place built on a love of single malt whisky. The malt selection was chosen with the independent bottler Loża Dżentelmenów and is poured in tasting flights, alongside signature and classic cocktails that are not only whisky based. There is a VIP tasting room, whisky tasting booths, regular guided tastings and live music evenings.
