Grupa Warszawa

Grupa Warszawa is a Polish entertainment company based in Warsaw, Poland, founded in 2008 by the entrepreneur and film producer Norbert Redkie.

[2] The company specializes in cultural and gastronomic initiatives around Warsaw, by emphasizing the architecture of individual locations, inspired by the local tradition.

At a cost of PLN 750,000 (US$190,000), in the former ticket office rented from the Polish State Railways, and renovated by the design group Centrala, the company opened a café-bar with homemade food and beer.

[13] In 2013, Gazeta Wyborcza called the Warszawa Powiśle one of the “10 Pubs That Changed Warsaw.”[14] Although from the very launch of the bar, its popularity that attracted crowds was the reason for numerous complaints and city guard interventions.

[20] On New Year's Eve 2011, Redkie and Kraciuk, together with the new partner Hubert Karsz, opened a whiskey bar Syreni Śpiew [The Mermaid Song], in another modernist pavilion of the former hotel restaurant-and-cafe.

[26] In 2012, Grupa Warszawa opened a small confectionery Lody na Patyku [The Ice Lolly], that served dessert wines and organized art workshops and animations for children.

In April 2020, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the program evolved to a crowd-funded charity Posiłek dla Seniora (Meals for Seniors), where the Syreni Śpiew cooks prepare and deliver lunches for the elderly.
