Still on the beers!
Bit of a break on Tuesday, just watched the football.. Barcelona v Chelsea, Ronaldinho a genius as usual. Wednesday and I'm expecting my mate Radek from Poznan (Heinz Meenz Beans) to arrive for a few beers as he's got a few hours to kill in Warsaw between flight time and the train to Poznan... his flight gets delayed for three hours in Paris though and I'm already on the beers with the aussie lad anyway.. I found out half way through the day that it's International Women's Day, bah I didn't know it existed, it's virtually unheard of outside of Russia and the former communist satellite countries.... but it turns out to be a big thing over here.. I kinda under-estimated it and went out on the piss for 3am, getting into no end of trouble on my return with Sylwia, which I guess was deserved.
Anyway enough of that, it was a good night out. I'm trying to keep readers informed of up to date bar news in Warsaw, so that you don't end up in the crappy metrosexual filled bollocks in the centre of Warsaw which is known as "one of the best nightlifes in Europe" - yes, if you wear a pink shirt with a collar bigger than nelson's column, go to the solarium three times a day, act like a complete cunt and have three telephones...
We started off by going to Champions as Martyna wanted to buy us a meal to say cheers for buying her a few beers, great food there - Chicken Buffalo Wings come highly recommended from me! All the stuff is bloody expensive, beer is reasonable during happy hour (Zywiec for 6zl) which happens around 17:00 on weekdays and lasts the whole weekend including Friday night.
Full of business men, irritating after a while, especially if a match isn't on... so we head across to the other side of the station and into the old Bar Ania, if you want to visit a dirty, small place by the central station with 80% losers and 100% psychos in, this is the place. It's not too bad in the summer, terrible if a football match is on and shit in the winter. It does however offer cheap beer - Cans of Wojak, Faxe and possibly the legendary Karpackie for about 3zl, a beer on draught (they have the choice between Herman Miller or Brok.. both pretty crap beers) but for 4zl, you can't complain and if your American or Italian, the chance is you wouldn't know a good beer if your wife through it all over your face, which to be fair would probably happen if you were italian, quite regularly.
Move on again, passed the Marriot again and up Emili Plater to Bar Piekna on Ul.Piekna, they offer cheap internet, and Tyskie for 5,5zl, not too bad but it used to be better.. no life at all and yupee customers. Then down to Cztery Katy on Ulica Wilcza... this is personally one of my favourite bars in Warsaw.. been going there on and off for a couple of years now, beer is 6,5zl now (Lech), used to be 5,5zl but it's easily one of the best bars in Warsaw, with comfortable seating, good classic rock music and usually a mixture of young up for fun, down to earth students (not the snobby type) and older eccentrics.
The aussie guy, Michael (Godwinistravelling), eats a hell of a lot.. so we head for more food from A-Petit... then catch a tram to Biker's/Club Rock.. it's basically any tram except for erm.. 19 i think. The place is quiet as it's a Wednesday and even then most of the couples seem to be somewhere else.. there is still the cheap beer (6zl - Krolewskie), nice company, table football, unbeatable music and a tight little reggae band playing some of their songs. By the time we left, we're well into the double figures on the beers and ended up losing 2-1 to two really pissed guys (one really pissed guy with dreadlocks who wanted 100 euros for winning), they stop serving beer, we leave and it turns out we missed the night bus by 3 minutes... so try hitching for a bit but there's not a lot of traffic, end up getting a cheap taxi ride to the centre.
Good fun but I've got to get off the beers for a while now, the skin is as itchy as hell from the insane beer consumption.. it is really irritating. I'm still off to Egypt next week, not sure what after that.. we'll see. I've got to try and have fun going away and keep the business(es) going.
Music Part 1 - gonna include some decent tracks/bands over the next few days.
If your into Rock, you better download some Wolfmother, really decent Aussie rock outfit (yes, I can't believe I said that either).. I'd download/buy the first album (I think it's called Wolfmother too) if I were you, my favourite songs are Dimension and Where Eagles Have Been, but there's not a lot wrong with any of them to be fair!!
Also Stahlhammer are a quality Austrian metal band with interesting twists, download the Feind Hort Mit off the internet or buy it off e-bay...DAN'S CHOICE OF LEGENDARY ANTHEMS.. would be the songs.. Jeanny and Der Mann Mit Dem Koks (sounds a bit kinky to me)
The old roots reggae, apart from Bob (Marley) and Pete (Tosh).. you can't really beat Abja.. the album Inna Red I Hour is top banana.
Current Brit bands.. I am Kloot and the Arctic Monkeys (from Sheffield woohoo) are pretty damn good.
Big fan of Katedras (Lithuanian metal), The Bambi Molesters (Croatian surf music), trusty Alice Cooper's most recent album is Dirty Diamonds and that gets played quite a bit in this house. STEAL THAT CAR!!
Off to bed now and don't want to see a beer until Easter, after all it is Lent.
