If you would like to receive our weekend guide by email every week, please enter your email address below. Delivery every Thursday.

1) Food

Spring and summer weekend diet is all about street food and this weekend the portfolio will significantly expand thanks to the re-opening of two iconic venues and one local food truck festival. Check out your new dining options below!

  • Nocny Market is the new back! brings back outdoor food court beloved by everybody in the city. There will be classics from the previous 5 editions, exciting debutantes, 5 drink bars, redesigned chillout and music zones. We can’t wait for beetroot and goat cheese pizza from Włoski Strajk. It’s an absolute killer. The venue will be open on all Fridays (17:00-01:00), Saturdays (17:00-01:00), and Sundays (17:00 – 23:00) and is located on Dworzec Głowny (ul. Towarowa 3). More on FB event
  • Slow Market is your choice when you are partying by the boulevards. It will be open on all Fridays (18:00-02:00), Saturdays (12:00-02:00), and Sundays (12:00 – 22:00). This year it will be located on Płyta Desantu near Pomost 511 and Fala nad Wisłą which ensures that good food will be accompanied by music that will make your legs dance hard. More on FB event.
  • In our weekly food truck section, we are going to Rembertów for their Food Truck Festival. It will be open on Friday and Saturday between 11:00 and 21:00, and Sunday from 11:00 to 20:00 in CityMarket Rembertów (ul. Marsa 111). This time after visiting the abovementioned markets, we will probably just opt for desserts such as Thai ice cream and Spanish churros. More on FB event.

2) Party

It is not a surprise that due to the restrictions still forbidding indoor parties legal clubbing in Warsaw temporarily means being close to the Vistula. We selected the best Friday and Saturday parties for you and here they are:

Friday, May 21, from 21:00

  • Dziewczyny x Pomost 511 will bring together Practical Lady (Polish DJ Championships winner and runner up in RedBull Music 3style Championships) and Lucy Monsalve (keen on great ladies’ music) in Pomost 511. FB event
  • Guilty Pleasures by Sosia will be a mix of the 80s, 90s, and 00s hits in Fala – Pawilon nad Wisłą. FB event
  • Thank’s God It’s Friday may have some problems with English grammar, but will provide tasty beats from DJ ROMI in Szerokie Bary. FB event

  • Silent Disco in Fala – Pawilon nad Wisłą is the first event of this kind this year. We can’t miss out on that! The cost of renting the headphones is 20 PLN. FB event
