Cool and off beat yet close to everything.
I frequent Kazimierz about two - three times per year. I have never had a bad time here; I think it would be hard too. It is in the heart of Old Town but somehow manages to not have the douche-bag clientele that goes with the area. It is dimly lit and the decor is eclectic. There is a map of the world made of pennies that is the backdrop for the live bands.
When I first moved to AZ 3 years ago I had my birthday party here and I decided to have my birthday here this year as well. OK, well it was birthday 2012 part deux. I had just returned from celebrating my birthday in Atlanta a couple of day before: See Nikko Bisto review.
We had a reserved couch that was in perfect position to see the live band. To my surprise the band for the evening was Elvis Before Noon! I love that band and Mr. Peabody, this to me was a great gift. I say that because that was the first time they played at Kaz. They sang happy birthday, the Beach boys version. Fun.
I gave 4 stars because our waitress was not very attentive. Our bill was over $500 for about 5 or 6 people and she was not worth her tip at all. We seemed to be in a miserable mood and was just not coming around enough and was not very good at presenting the food and drinks. Also, I know she was not a sommelier but she was not too good at wine recommendations either. Hey this is a WINE bar.
Aside from our server we had a great time here as usual. They have a great wine menu as well as a full bar. The food is really good. They have a really good cheese board and anti-pasta. The hummus is also very tasty as is the flatbread. I think you get my point; it is all good. Will be back soon.
M-
