Wait a second, wine bars can be...casual? Occupying a uniquely-shaped (hooray for trapezoids!) corner locale near Plac Wolnica, BARaWINO is the first wine bar connected with 'Kondrat Wina Wybrane' (Kondrat Selected Wines) - one of the largest wine importers in Poland. This isn't necessarily the domain of haughty sommeliers, wine snobs and flashy business execs, however, but rather a social, laid-back gathering place for friends (not just couples!), who place their orders at the bar and either take their bottle home (at a discount), or relax at one of the simple wooden tables. The selection of bottles in stock surpasses 200, at least 25 of which are available by the glass from the bar, which also offers some wine snacks like cheese and olives. On Thursdays from 19:30 enjoy free jazz, and watch out for their regular wine promotions and tastings. Perhaps wine culture's response to the craft beer craze consuming PL, BARaWINO is a nice reminder that you don't have to be dressed to the nines to go enjoy a glass of wine.
