El Koktel is one of the most respected cocktail bars in Warsaw. The room is intentional — leather banquettes, dim warm lighting, around 30 seats — and the cocktail programme is committed to classical discipline with seasonal Polish twists.
The drinks are precise. The bartenders use Polish ingredients heavily — Polish vodka, Krupnik (honey liqueur), żubrówka (bison grass vodka). The seasonal menu rotates regularly.
The crowd is mid-thirties Warsaw cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Wesoła Cocktails Etc for a complete Warsaw cocktail evening.
