Poland Bar Hop Pt7: Absynt has such a comfortably homey vibe about it for a bar centered on the most famously fiery spirit. And indeed their Absynth Sour cocktail was refreshingly welcoming. My partner stuck to wine. Na zdrowie! Poland Bar Hop Pt6: Such a great little bar in Krakow. Singer, named after the sewing machines, which make up the bulk of the tables in the joint. Talk about atmosphere! I had a shot of Jim Beam 7 Year and my partner had a beer. We played a few rounds of cards and she won as usual. Na zdrowie! Poland Bar Hop Pt5: When in Poland drink the local spirit. First drinking stop in Krakow was a vodka bar, where we had a flight of 6 vodkas. (see 📸 4 & 5) I’m not a big vodka person, and there were no revelations for me here. But I’d say the Forest Fruit vodka was one I could see sipping for dessert after a meal. Na zdrowie!
