PROLETARYAT Pub-Museum

The pub is divided into two parts. The first lets say „stationary” part is a bit cramped, however the smart arrangement of tables and bar stools allows for an easy movement around it, so there is no problem with getting to the toilet, to the second part of the pub and finally to the bar.
The second part is located further from the entrance, so you have to walk through the first part to get there. It is an extension of the existing structure which basically is a wooden frame with insulation on the walls. While it may be a great solution for rather warm spring or summer evenings, in winter and autumn it is simply too cold out there. The already mentioned factory signs and plates are an undoubted advantage.
The only flaw we were able to notice is that there is only one coeducational toilet in the pub and its state leaves a lot to wonder. However one may think this is intentional as everything in communistic Poland was falling apart.


The interior is by any standards original. Anyone who enters the pub will immediately notice that they have in fact entered a time portal. Muted light coming straight from the factory standard lamps, scarlet walls and loads of signs and plates taken out of old factories reproduce the unique climate of the communist era. The torso of Lenin in the window makes the place complete.

The music is barely noticeable making it easy to talk without shouting and it fits in the represented era perfectly.

We had no idea that it was possible for a pub that depicts the communistic era so good to have such professional, pleasant and most importantly fast service.

FOOD
Focused on appetizers – pickled cucumbers, herring in vinegar, bread with lard – again everything that was traditional for communism in our country.

BEER
The lovers of non-commercial brews should be ecstatic with what this place has in stock. Noteckie beer is considered by many to be one of the best in the region and due to fact that the brewery that produces it is relatively small not like all the other large (commercial) breweries we are all too familiar with, the beer tastes great and its quality is exceptional. You can choose from a standard lager and dark beer either from a cask (which is unique in Poznan) or a 0,33l bottle. The interesting fact about Proletaryat is that they also sell beer brewed specially for them – Proletaryat and Proletaryat Dark.
