Cocktails, chaos and community collide at Wrocław’s wonderfully unconventional Dziady i Koktajle
First question. Why open a bar?
One teenage dream, one burnt-down bar, one bottle of mezcal.
Why “Dziady”?
A proudly Polish name full of mystery and humour.
Bar or hangout?
Both. We wanted strangers to become friends.
What is this place?
A mountain shelter in the middle of Wrocław.
Planned chaos?
ADHD, a forest creature, and somehow… it works.
Signature drink?
Mai Tai—classic with personality.
Who creates the menu?
The whole team.
Three must-try drinks?
Two from the menu, one chosen by your bartender.
Weirdest cocktail?
Chicken-stock vodka… or mushroom risotto.
Why all the events?
We never wanted to be just another bar.
Weirdest night?
What happens at Dziady stays at Dziady
Who surprises you most?
Professors, metalheads and tourists drinking together.
Behind the scenes?
Endless cleaning, paperwork and little sleep.
What makes Dziady different?
Serious cocktails, zero ego, real hospitality.
Hardest part?
Cleaning. Every single night.
Hidden location?
We’d rather be discovered than over-advertised.
Business or lifestyle?
A business built around the life we wanted.
Biggest myth?
You’re mostly an accountant, not a bartender.
Last one…do your parents get it?
Mostly… now.
Definitely give these guys a try. And if you’re wondering where to start, here are our TOP FIVE drinks we’d order again in a heartbeat.
