A comfortable, boozy refuge tucked in a Holborn alleyway, serving a massive selection of vodkas alongside hearty Polish bar snacks.
Ordering Strategy
Treat the bartender like a sommelier to tour the grain types and infusions on the vodka list, pairing drinks with salty lard on bread or chopped herring.
What to order
Pierogi
The menu's reliable staple; Eater advises sticking to small plates like these, and diners specifically praise the fried version with dips.
Goulash with Potato Pancakes
A filling classic combining rich stew with crisp 'placki ziemniaczane', frequently highlighted as delicious by visitors.
Hazelnut Vodka
The venue is defined by its drink list; while Eater suggests a 'sommelier' style tour, the hazelnut chocolate shots are a specific crowd favorite.

Good to know
Located in a small passage called Little Turnstile; it offers outdoor seating and can get busy despite the quiet location.
