Kraken Rum Bar

Portions of food too small. Not so good if you come hungry. Every other aspect I liked

The restaurant is just opposite of our hotel H15 Boutique, food is very tasty, we 2 people ordered mixed seafood, fish, Caesar salad, and house white wine, portion was not big but enough for us. Btw, you need to serve yourself, order at counter and take your self. Atmosphere was good. I will come back during my stay.

Kraken Rum Bar has delicious, well priced seafood for Warsaw, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, we came to grab a bite to eat not knowing there was a concert of sorts going on and the bar was completely packed and we had to search for a table for quite some time. When we did eventually get a table we ordered our food at the bar and when it arrived, it made up for the crowded packed place.
I ordered the shrimps and mussels, they were divine! The mussels were in a white wine cream sauce which was served with a side of bread and soaking up that sauce with the bread was delicious.
I definitely recommend! Just make sure you don’t come for dinner on a night when there’s any music event going on.

Nice ambient, good music and beer delicious seafoods, one of the best place for afterwork

Die Kraken Rum Bar ist ein ganz gemütliches Lokal mit viel internationalem Publikum und einem sehr großen Barkeeper: D Allein er verdient eigentlich schon einen Stern ^^ Das Essen war sehr lecker und schön angerichtet. Die Portionen sind nicht riesig aber wir sind alle satt geworden. Die Cocktails sind sehr sehr gut und für 22−26zl bezahlbar. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Cool place, very nice atmosphere, nice food and excellent value for money. Avoid the muscles, but the octopus, shrimp and calamari was exquisite. You can also order ftom the next door Lebanese place, of the same owner.

The saddest thing about leaving Warsaw was leaving this place behind! A dedicated Kraken rum bar, with exclusive Kraken beer, and full seafood menu as well as cocktails; what more could a birthday girl ask for?!
We arrived a bit late for my birthday dinner, but thank the sea gods they serve food till midnight, and though it was still heaving we managed to get a seat right away. Like I said, the menu is all seafood, so if squid and crustaceans don’t rock your boat, then go for the cocktails!
We picked the mussels, fish curry, salmon tatar and mixed seafood to share between 3. You order at the bar and when your dishes are ready your table number is called and you collect it from the bar. It’s quite loud, and in Polish (obviously!) so it was a bit hard to listen out for our food, but the staff were sooo lovely that they called ours out in English when they realised it was our table. I could not fault a thing we ate, though I would have preferred a bit more lighting to actually be able to see it, especially as my companions weren’t fans of the octopus, so it was left to me to hoover up the delicious tentacles and squid. Poor me, I hear you say. Well, someone had to take one for the team.
The cocktails were out of this world, and so reasonably priced, but considering the exchange rate and general cheapness of the city, I could say that about everything. The wee barman that served us most of the time was a total star, and made a nice fuss for my birthday, so much so we put a shot of tequila to the side for him.
The music isn’t really to my taste, and it’s pretty loud and dark, with only one toilet serving both here and it’s adjoining bar, but none of that really had any negative effect on the evening. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend my birthday!

We were in Warsaw over the Easter break, and being good Friday we were looking for somewhere to eat that served seafood. This place seemed to fit the bill, and boy oh boy did it exceed our expectations.
The bar was quite busy, and it took a few minutes to find somewhere to sit. There are two bars, which makes it easy to order food and drinks, and the menu is above the bar, so no need for table menus.
Though the menu isn’t in english the servers speak perfect english and can help you out with menu choices.
We ordered two rounds of food, as we were starving, and the dishes are quite small. The baby squid was delicious as was the calamari. The cocktails are well made and I recommend the ginger rum (the name escapes me now).
The prices are good for english tourists, however I imagine for a local they can seem a bit over priced.

Solid, solid cooking of seafood. Only thing I disagree with is the pricing. However, because of Warsaw’s physical location, importing seafood is more expensive than meats and produce. Shares the same space with Beirut.

Run by the same folks behind the next door café Beirut, Kraken has very much the same feel to it: hipsterish & cool… in other words, perfectly tailored to the nouveau-​cool of Warsaw (tink Kreuzberg in Berlin or Shoreditch/​Dalston in London).
As you can hear by my slight irony in the above sentence, I’m not such a fan oft this style, but nevertheless I did like what I ate here. In fact, my colleague at recommended me to eat the hummus from next-​door Beirut Café and order the seafood platter from Kraken Bar… as the two places are joined with each other, you can place your order at the same time (in each place separately though) and then eat it in any one of them.
The mixed seafood platter came with mini octopus, shrimp and calamari; the bigger pieces of calamari were stuffed with some kind of grain — almost like dolmas. This dish seemed to be very popular, as I saw at least 4 other people eating the same dish. And it’s popularity is well-​deserved, as I quite enjoyed eating it… soaking up the last bits of lemony sauce with the white bread served on the side.

The guys next door «Beirut» just bought out space, broke the wall and opened this lovely pub. I love Beirut so I knew these guys will get it right before even coming here and they sure did. The nautical theme fits perfect with amazing seafood and good draft beer that they serve. I got a chance to meet their chef, really cool guy who used live in New York so I assure you he knows good seafood :)
