Summer in Warsaw can be a very busy season... Concerts in most bars along the Vistula River, movie projections under the stars, happenings in the Old town, demonstrations all around the city... but what if you took a while and sat in one of the most charming gardens of the city?
There are a large number of bars that offer the possibility to sit in a quiet garden, but The Cool Cat TR offers you the garden right in the city centre, just along Marszalkowska Street.
This spot with his charming staff (the waiters will suggest you and help you with the choice) will give you a taste of the developing culture for cocktails (good cocktails finally) that is popping up very quickly in Poland's capital. The list of cocktails is a CD cover where the drinks have names of popular songs, so you choose according to your music taste.
The menu of drinks changes seasonally, so do not be upset if after a while you cannot find your favorite drink - just take your chance to find the next one.
