Browary Warszawskie is located in one of the central quarters of Warsaw, marked by Grzybowska and Krochmalna streets. For many years, this part of Wola, adjacent to Śródmieście, was a post-industrial, neglected area. It returned to the consciousness of the city's inhabitants in a unique version. All thanks to the revitalization carried out by Echo Investment, which breathed new life into the area.
It was here, in 1846, that the Haberbusch and Schiele brewery was established, which quickly became the capital's "promised land". As the largest in the Kingdom of Poland and one of the most important on the brewing map of Europe, it prospered until World War II. It was an icon of local entrepreneurship and a place where a better future was brewing for the people of Warsaw who worked there. After the war, which completely devastated this region, the brewery continued to operate (changing names and owners), and during the years of deepest socialism, it produced Coca-Cola under an American license.
The past of the area became an inspiration for architects and designers who, in 2017, redefined the character and functions of the place, which has since been called Browary Warszawskie. Work on the investment took 7 years, but it was worth waiting for the opening in 2021. Wola has gained a beautiful, open enclave, friendly to the local community and tourists. The post-industrial past of this place is recalled by the revitalized buildings of the former brewery - the historic Brewhouse, Laboratory, Fabrykanta's Villa and the 170-year-old cellars of the Storage Room.
Browary Warszawskie quickly gained the recognition of both visitors and respected architects and urban planners from all over the world. This success is confirmed by the numerous awards that Echo Investment received in the first years after the debut of Browary Warszawskie, including: the prestigious MAPIC Awards 2022 for the best urban revitalization, the title of the best multi-functional investment in the CEE Retail Awards competition; GRAND PRIX and the title of the best public space as part of the prestigious SARP Award of the Year 2021 competition; CEEQA 2021 award - for a timeless design; CIJ Awards Poland (in as many as 4 categories), Architectural Award of the Mayor of Warsaw. In turn, Food Hall Browary won during the Food Business Forum in the following categories: Debut of a gastronomic concept and Culinary event of the year.
The streets and green squares of Browary Warszawskie smell of bread baked on site and freshly ground coffee. Carefully designed interiors tempt you with delicious dishes from almost all corners of the world. Here you can feed your senses with the smell and flavors of cuisine from northern Europe, the Mediterranean and distant Asia.
After the culinary feast, it's time to relax. There are many spaces to choose from: the bustling Malthouse market square with a fountain and benches suspended in a birch forest; the quiet courtyard of the Laboratory; the green heart of Browary Warszawskie - the Central Garden, towering over the Storage Room and Dolny Square; Brama Browarów square, which welcomes guests entering from Grzybowska Street, and Śniadaniowy Square, hidden in the residential part at Krochmalna Street.
When visiting Browary Warszawskie, you must definitely go to the iconic stairs leading from Haberbusch and Schiele's woonerf to the historic part - the square next to the Delighting Room. It is one of today's symbols of Warsaw street art.
The stairs change several times a year, becoming a space of expression for many artists.
It's best to see it with your own eyes, because this is where the city happens!
