"The Most Expensive Beer in Poland!!" Warsaw Warnings Or Dangers Tip by johngayton

Having had to curtail my Polish visit at relatively short notice and the most reasonably priced flight out being an evening departure from Frederic Chopin I decided to spend the afternoon just hanging at the airport. Call me a bit strange if you like, but I kinda like just hanging around airports, railway stations etc. find a bar, use the internet connection, read a book, have a few beers, watch the world go by, whatever - and SMOKE!

Not so here at Frederic Chopin - yes there are bars, and a WiFi connection (though I couldn't figure out how to work it - or rather how to pay for it) and I did have a book to read. BUT THEN I FIND THAT THE WHOLE PLACE IS NON-SMOKING, not even in the bars, not even a little corner of one ;(

Then I noticed that the Courtyard by Marriot hotel across the road from the main departures entrance advertised WiFi access in its bar AND had ashtrays on the table - that's my afternoon sorted then and in I go :) Bar area is plush and comfortable, service excellent, good WiFi connection (tho' a tad on the expensive side) but the beer was 17 Zloty, SEVENTEEN!!! - needless to say I only had 4 - HA! At that price there was no way I was going to give them the benefit of a full-on John afternoon ;)!!
