While your main reason for visiting Stary Maneż in the Garnizon complex will be to see a performance in the main hall, it doesn't have to be the only excuse. The bar/restaurant on the ground floor offers an eclectic menu of snacks as well as a concise choice of starters, salads and mains, including ribs and seafood curry. They also have, as you’ll immediately notice from the large brass vats, their own beer called Vrest, which is made using German hops and named as a wordplay on an early name for the Wrzeszcz district – Wrzos (ENG: heather). On this note, Stary Maneż Browar Vrest serve 'tasting boards', where you can buy 100ml of each taste of vrest brewery's beers (100ml x 5 tastes). Furthermore, every day of the week has Happy Hours from 12:00 till 15:00, when beer is half-price! Reaching the highests standards, the brewery have light, wheat, dark, pilsner and piwko niecodzienne (ENG: Unusual Beer), all of which pair up well with their tapas to provide some sustenance before and after a concert next door.
