“Lokal dość drogi jeśli chodzi o jedzenie. Piwa w przedziale 15-20 złotych. American IPA bardzo smaczna, ananasowy pszeniczniak również. Do wyboru jest kilka, w tym jedno niskoprocentowe. Bardzo starająca się obsługa.“

“Sigh. So many memories with this one. Some 20 years ago we used to go there to enjoy the taste of non mass produced beer, as it was I think one of two restaurant breweries in Poland back then and the shops were crammed full with different beers - so long as those were pale lagers and strong lagers. First restaurant, then they transformed it into a nig disco with 3 dance floors, metal detectors at the entrance and shady people both among the patrons and the security. They closed shop a couple years ago, then supposedly reopened, then sold it to someone. Allegedly it is bound to be re-opening soon and I hope the beers will have been improved upon, as even back in 2012, when my frame of reference was very limited, I found them distasteful and the one I tried a year ago in theit small pub in Katowice center was still below average.“

Odessa Market (Grocery Store)

“market a raczej sklep z pamiatkami w Karkonoskim Parku Narodowym przy parkingu i szlaku na zamek chojnik. Dobry wybor piw, kwasow i innych trunkow. Piwa nie tylko Ukrainskie, ale z Gruzji, Armeni, Litwy, nawet Sarajevsko bylo. Rozne butle i w petach i litrowym szkle male i pol litrowe. do tego spory wybor slodyczy, konserw, przetworow rybnych.“

“Monkey themed bar, in a strange semi-enclosed, semi-open area. The enclosed parts smelt of old greasy fried food, or drains, so we sat outside. Had an impressive array of beers - theoretically 4 hand pulls, and 20 other taps, and lots in the fridge too. Alas, only one of the HPs was on, and it was on-but-off, IYKWIM. Ooof. The other taps were pretty OK though. 5 x 120ml tasting tray was possible - thank you very much! Prices decent. Decent English spoken. Something perturbed me about the loos, I can't remember exactly what. Maybe I was having a piss in a broom closet that didn't lock properly, or something. If you're local, you can jump on the draught beers fresh, so I'm sure this is a gem for them. Alas, just one data point from a flying visit didn't give the place the best chance to show its strengths. For narrower error bars, you're advised to visit here each time you come to town!“

“Fancy-looking place, seems like it's a hotel restaurant or something, but they were happy to let a scumbag like me in, so all's good. Huge place, there's a dining area towards the back, a more sit-up place at the front, and a huge terrace outside. 5 house beers, and a sampler tray offered. Nothing particularly good, alas, but they did have some slightly dodgy stuff on at the time ("multivitamin wheat"). Not sure what to think about this place. Staff were friendly, at least.“

“Marduk didn't want to come here, but I insisted, as I saw about 6 ticks, although several of those were available-everywhere macros. Card system is a rip-off - they don't give any change back, so don't overload it at the start. Also had whiskies and wines available, which did mean they had small glasses, if you know where to look for them. Most of the taps foamed like hell, but we were wise to that, and got the smallest possible pours - for the tick! Other customers seemed a bit crazy, some conversations shouldn't be had at that volume level. Heck, we got some beer ticks and a place tick. Done. Probably never again.“

“Front bar is tiny, but there's always the option of heading out to the side either into a little dungeon or up to a fairly pleasant looking and very spacious terrace that alas suffered from spurious aromas from the environs. Staff was very friendly and chatty. Beer selection was pretty varied - 8 taps and loads of bottles and cans - mostly Polish stuff, but bizarrely they had a big selection of Lehe stuff too after a recent promotion. Alas no ticker-friendly pours, but they're still not universal. Happy to give the barman a little gift from home as the place impressed us so much. A must-visit place in Katowice.“

Upojeni (Bar)

“Situated as if it's a hotel bar just off an enclosed courtyard, which is probably the prettiest part of the location, but the bar itself is fine as long as you like dark. 14 taps, but alas the smallest pour is 300ml. There's a large fridge of cans and bottles, mostly Polish, but we did see some Sori bottles too. The taps were very crafty, so had as many downs as ups. Food was fairly eclectic: Marduk seemed to have no complaints about his pizza, and our kimchi pastrami sandwich was excellent; alas, our baba ganoush was a little sub-par. Prices weren't cheap. Staff were pleasant. Decent place, one to go on the priority list.“

“Entrance is on the corner. Inside it goes back and back until you reach the bar. Order your food and drink at the bar. A good selection of beers inc. a 16% barley wine on our visit. Decor was retro stile and colourful. Service was excellent.“

“Just opposite from the Browariat. It's pay as you pour type of place. Meaning you pay some money to card and you can choose how much you pour to your glass. No return, so make sure not to put too much at once. We took small pours and managed to get quite few ticks. To most of the beers there was way too much foam. But that's how they do money I guess.“

“They got 3 real ale casks, but only 1 was operation. We had one and it was off. Place itself reeked of foul aromas. Outside was better. Otherwise good selection of beers, bit lazy bartender. They do flights and English was spoken.“

“Under the railway tunnel and you are there. This place has many rooms and also a beer garden. Good selection of taps and cans. English spoken. No flights, but 0.33ml portions served. Selection of beers from around Europe. So if you are looking for country ticks this might place to visit.“

“Just under the railway and down a few steps. This place is a maze of tiny rooms. It did feel a bit like being in a dungeon. Upstairs there is a semi covered terrace. 8 beers on draft, some from a nano brewery. An extensive list of cans/bottles all listed on blackboards around the main bar area. Service was excellent given how busy it was.“

“Located down a passageway and up a few steps to the left. 14 beers, but the board was difficult to see due to people sitting at the bar. They need to move it higher or elsewhere. There is also an upper floor. Service was really good. So was the food. Not typically Polish.“

“Enter down a passageway. Lots of seating in the passageway and even a sandy area with deck chairs. The door to the bar is on left. Order at the bar. A good selection of beers and ciders. 1, maybe 2 of the beers were in cask and served through a handump. Decent English spoken. We stayed for a few rounds.“

“Absurdalna has entrance from the corner, to Mariacka ulitsa. "Probierna piwa i sztuki" was stated. Sztuki is art. Interior, a result of someone went to many flee markets. I became so happy. Relaxed. Even strange music was cool. Of course I found new polish beers. Cardpayokay.“

“Stairs steep but not many steps. Many rooms, as catacombe, with wooden barrels as tables, one with single records on the wall, lots of beer effects around, cash okay. No taps found on my search, so it is based on bottles and cans as far as I can conclude.“

“Wybor rozny od globalnych piw czeskich (Sporo Opata i Primatora), niemieckich (zadkie piwa nie craftowe) i nawet Gruzja w 2 odslonach. Reszta to PL craft, niektore zadkie okazy, premierowe, Hazy Disco Pinty najnowsze. Ceny tez sa super tanie. W sumie tak tanio jak w Carrefour Express:)“

“Jedno z lepszych miejsc do zakupu zagranicznych, tych bardziej luksusowych piw, a juz z pewnoscia na Slasku. Ceny kosmiczne, ale wybor przeogromny, sporo Stanow, jest Dania (Amager, To Ol), jest Anglia, Belgia (coz za same rarytasy w tym zadkie Lambicki), Holandia (Emelisse) troche tez i dobrego PL craftu. Polecam choc ceny sa naprawde spora, mimo na niektorych zawieszki ze sporym upustem procentowym to i tak drogo. Ale coz pewne perelki mozna zdobyc. Dziwna lokalizacja gdzies na osiedlu.“
