Price of Old Style: $1.50 drafts
For some reason I thought this bar was called Podlasie, but that place is actually next door. As we pulled up, we didn't see any sign other than Old Style and Okocim.
Then we get this gem on the window:
So, Podhale is the southernmots region of Poland, which actually includes the town of Zakopane, but that wasn't what caught our eye. "Mr. ZJ"? Who was that? The running joke for the next 10 minutes was "if you don't know Mr. ZJ, you can't afford it..." If you have no idea what I am talking about, shame on you, and here you go.
Inside, we were greeted by a wonderfully nice bartender who spoke very broken English, but attempted to have full conversations with us, mainly about the horrible weather Poland had been getting this winter. After 15 minutes, she turned the TV to the Polish news channel, and something bad must have happened, because everyone (the other three people) were fixated on the TV. We finished our 2nd beer and snuck out.
