Pub Quiz in Warsaw?

Hey there!

I moved to Warsaw a few months ago and I miss my trivia+beer nights, so I'm looking for a Pub Quiz here in Warsaw. I was actually quite a bad player I must say :P, but the atmosphere was great and it was a good place to meet new people from all ages and all parts of the world. So, does anyone know where/if they are organized in Warsaw?

Thanks in advance!

Hi If they are none, why don't you try going to some expat bars and see if you can create one there.

Legends on Emilii Plater has a quiz every week, check their Facebook page for details of when the next one is.

Seriously give it a miss. The food is, well what can I say, sad, below what you would expect - given the high prices - and, well not edible... it's just sad. And the beer, I went for the English beer... its flat, flatter than a glass of still water, flat - I had high hopes for this place but it is just not good... so I'm looking for another British place that may deliver quality for the high prices British pubs charge in this town.

This confirms me what I since ages think about InYourPocket and other expat product placement publications. They pretend that bar is the best ever happened to Warsaw...Suddenly Bradley's is not the place to be anymore....I suppose it has to do with the editors not getting any freebies anymore...

Are there enough British people in Warsaw to provide business for a pub? Or is it, as would seem more likely, that the clientele are Poles as well as foreigners from other countries such as Britain and the US? Probably a silly question but am curious in case Warsaw looks like Spain or France (full of Brits).

Not at all. It's more to do with the fact that Kevin Bradley (the man that the place was named after and also the man behind Cork Irish pub, if you remember that cracking place) was stabbed in the back by certain shareholders and generally treated like dirt. When that happened a lot of the expats started drinking elsewhere. The new management don't have a clue what they are doing, which means that the service is utterly dire, the beer (if you manage to get any) is laughably bad, virtually nobody in the place has any clue how the satellite TV works (so if you do go there to watch a game, you might miss it) and the food is appalling (although to be fair who ever went to Bradley's for the food?).

I know both Alex (editor of Insider) and Mat (the only presence InYourPocket have in Warsaw) very well and neither of them ever used to get freebies in Bradleys (or at least no more so than the other regulars who would occasionally get bought a pint by Kevin, and then buy him one back).


Personally I reckon that Legends is very much a curate's egg. However, there are people I know who genuinely think that it's the best bar in Warsaw. It certainly gets busy for big football matches and so on. And neither Alex nor Mat get freebies there.

But then, I very much prefer gastronauci.pl, which gives a local intake. Lots of places mentioned there are not even known on the expat fora

Now that one I know for a fact is fixed!

Has to be mentioned Graham is a very nice fella and does his best, although its a tough business to be involved in.


I never use IYP if I am looking for a place to eat my reference is: warsawfoodie.pl

You nailed it there, he's a top bloke.

I had some spectacularly, laughably bad food there. Otherwise it's Ok and the landlord is indeed thoroughly nice. Southern beer though, but I suppose you can't win them all.

The food by the way was allegedly steak and kidney pie but was really a bit of very bland kidney stew (no steak) and a seperately cooked square of frozen puff pastry.

The OP has asked about pub quizes. please keep on topic.

Given that there is only one pub in Warsaw which organises quizzes, are we not allowed to discuss the pub in question? The pros and cons of going there, etc? There was a pub which used to run them but doesn't any more, should we assume that that pub can't even be mentioned?

Isn't it on topic? After all, there's only so much you can say about the quiz itself...

Before you sadly cut in when I was adding the stuff about the quiz, I'd written that the quiz is usually very well attended and the landlord does his best to make you feel welcome. The questions however are only as good as the person who sets them on any given day, so the quality is sometimes good but not always.

The beer is unfortunately southern, but at least there's Zywiec.

Avoid the food though. I made the mistake of eating there a second time hoping the first disaster was a one off. It wasn't.

I suppose we could discuss whether the supposed answer third question in the fifth round of the Legends quiz in the first week was correct or not; that would be entirely on topic.


a) Zywiec is about as far south as you can get.
b) Zywiec isn't beer.
c) Zywiec is probably the worst part of the quiz.
d) Wasn't 'Zywiec' the answer to one of the questions in the Queen's Birthday quiz at Legends?

Last time I was there there were several setters and one guy asked questions that had ambiguous answers. The standard is generally high though. Usually quite tricky as pub quizzes go.

I like the fact there's a cash prize - extra excitement!

Re. Żywiec, I agree it's muck, but imagine the gloom when I see a pump selling English beer and it's not real English beer at all, just that flat insipid cat's discharge that southerners drink. If they can get Boddies, Stones and Sam Smith's here in Dubai, they can surely get it on Emilii Plater.

Pub Quiz this Friday night in Lodz organised by my rugby club. Questions in Polish though.Can provide a translation.

PM if interested by chance.
