Famous for their fine vodkas and superb beers, Polish distilleries and breweries have no shortage of thriving outlets for their wares in Warsaw. For visitors, the choice is mind-boggling. If you're a music-clubbing nightowl, you'll find plenty to keep you up late in Polska's party capital. Clubs are springing up all over the place, with the Praga district now something of a mecca for serious partygoers, whilst in the older parts of the city, cafes and traditional pubs abound.
