Friends

About this place Friends

Friends is exactly what its name implies: a relaxed, welcoming neighbourhood gay bar in central Warsaw where the emphasis is on community and conversation rather than performance or spectacle. The clientele is predominantly gay male with a mix of regulars and visitors, the atmosphere is consistently warm, and the bar functions as the place you go when you want to be in your community without the energy expenditure of a proper club night. For solo visitors to Warsaw, Friends is particularly welcoming — the social dynamic is inclusive and the staff are engaging. It occupies a useful position in Warsaw's scene as the option between a casual coffee at Café Kulturalna and a full night at Luzztro: the bar you go to first to meet people, or last to decompress after the clubs.
