Gdańsk: Craft Cocktail Tasting at Awarded Bar

Summary

Sample five unique cocktails in Gdańsk’s most awarded bar

You’ll settle into one of Gdańsk’s best bars for a relaxed craft cocktail tasting with five original drinks prepared by expert bartenders. Watch as each recipe comes together right in front of you, hear stories behind every pour, and maybe even pick up some local flavor (and language). It’s more than just sipping cocktails — it’s sharing laughs and new tastes in good company.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was mostly just curious about what “craft cocktails” meant in Gdańsk — I’ve had my share of mojitos and negronis, but this felt different right from the start. The bar itself is tucked away on a side street (I almost missed it), and you can smell citrus and something herbal even before you sit down. Our bartender, Piotr, greeted us with this easy confidence — not showy, just genuinely into what he does. He started talking about their own recipes and how everything is natural. I tried to ask about one of the bottles behind him (the label was all in Polish), but he just grinned and said, “You’ll taste it soon.”

The first cocktail came out looking like a little piece of art — not fussy, but you could tell someone cared. Summer Bloody Mary with tomato, carrot, coconut… I didn’t expect to like that combo but it worked. There was this gentle spice at the end that made me pause. Piotr explained each drink as he made them; sometimes he’d toss in a quick story about where the idea came from or which spirit they’d hunted down for months. It wasn’t rushed at all — we had time to actually taste things instead of just knocking them back. At one point I tried to pronounce “żubrówka” properly and got a laugh from the whole bar (I’m still not sure I got close).

By the third or fourth cocktail (they’re small pours so you don’t get tipsy too fast), everyone at our table loosened up. You could hear bits of conversation mixing with the sound of ice being shaken behind the bar. There’s something about sitting in a place where locals drop by after work — you feel like you’re getting let in on a secret, even if it’s just for an hour or two. Honestly, I still think about that carrot-coconut thing when I see tomato juice now.
