“The most intercultural bar in Warsaw hands down.” Google review · ★ 5

You'll know their names by the second pint.

Who you'll meet

Owner · pours at both bars

Curtis

Irish, red hair, runs both Shamrocks. Pours pints himself on busy nights. If a ginger bartender finds you a seat, that's him.

“Yer man Curtis pours a cracking pint and keeps the place together.”

Bartender · the Classic

Maria

Behind the bar Friday through Sunday. Pours a Guinness people remember. Holds court without trying.

“Maria is the Goat of all bartenders. I've never seen anyone pour Guinness so perfectly.”

Whiskey

Curtis's dog. Comes to work. Will find you, settle in for a bit if he likes you. Good lad.

“Also great vibes and a lovely golden retriever called Whiskey.”

Six reasons you'll text someone to come meet you here.

What this bar is
Pint of Guinness on the bar at the Classic, drinks menu underneath

A proper Guinness pour

Two-part pour, creamy head, right temperature, right glass. Maria does it well enough that people remember it on the way home.

Always on
Crowd packed in at the Classic on St. Patrick's night, singing, green in every corner

Karaoke, every week

Wednesday and Friday nights. Loud, late, no one minds the wrong notes. Pick something you half-remember, go for it anyway.

Wed & Fri · 21:00
Upstairs room during Wednesday language exchange, regulars at tables talking across languages

Free language exchange

Every Wednesday, 19:00. The one reliable answer to "I just moved to Warsaw and don't know anyone." Sit at the table with the sign.

Every Wednesday · 19:00
Crowd spilling onto the street outside the Classic at night, themed party in full swing, the Shamrock neon sign overhead

Something on, every night

Latin Night Thursday with Venezuelan food, pub quiz Sunday, live music Saturday upstairs. Themed parties when there's an excuse. Bringing friends optional.

There's a kitchen

Walk in any time. Full menu at /irish-bar/menu. Eat alongside the pints, or eat instead of one.

Walk in
Cowboy on the mechanical bull at the Classic, green inflatable surround, TV behind showing pro bull riding

There's a mechanical bull

Don't ask why. Eight seconds is the rodeo goal. Most people last three. Climb on anyway.

Ask at the bar
This week at the Classic

Come back Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or pretty much any night.

Recurring weekly. Specials and one-offs on the full calendar.

Guinness, proper. Whiskey by the shelf. An ale when the mood asks. Chips, because of course.

What's in the glass

We pour what an Irish pub should pour, because that's what we are. Guinness gets the two-part pour, the right temperature, the right glass. The whiskey shelf is wide and the opinions about it are wider. The ale selection rotates with the weather and whatever Curtis is into.

“A cracking creamy pint of Guinness. Love the atmosphere and the staff. Ten out of ten with a nice creamy head from yer man Curtis.” Conor · Google · ★ 5

No cocktail menu acrobatics, no flaming sambuca unless you ask. We do one thing, we do it right. And if you don't know what you want, Curtis will figure it out faster than you will.

If you were wondering

Warsaw's only Irish pub actually run by Irish people.

Curtis is Irish, red-haired, behind the bar most busy nights. Maria pours a Guinness people travel for. The whiskey shelf is real and Curtis has opinions about it. The craic isn't a tagline. It's how the room runs.

So yes, if you're looking for a proper Irish pub in Warsaw, you found it. But also: you found a lot of other things. Wednesday language exchange. Thursday Latin Night. The upstairs balcony with the roof that opens. The Tuesday regulars who'll say your name the second time you walk in. The Irish part is the soul; the rest of it is the reason you'll come back.

The craic: on record.
