The pierogi here is also recommended.

Simply put, Spatif is Sopot’s legendary hang out for the areas budding creatives. It is a famous meeting place for writers and artists. It’s not just the people that make this place special.

Retromaniak is exactly as its title suggests – it’s a retro themed pub, owing its interior design to days of yore, when Poland was a communist country known as PRL (Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa).

Cocktail Bar Max, situated on Grunwaldzka and very close to the beach is the best place in town to sample delicious cocktails.
