Bring back the Beer Gardens to Warsaw!
Do you remember the Warsaw Beer Gardens located between Gdański and Śląsko-Dąbrowski bridges along the river? You could find your favorite beer by looking at the umbrellas, and there was always a different band playing at every small patch in the beer garden. It's too bad a few bad apples had to spoil the fun. All that would be needed is some police presence -- and all the bars could pay a small fee together to pay for private security.
IN their place is some kind of 'beer barge' on the river -- maybe the bilge is on tap? Has anyone been there?

The real problem with the "gardens" was the lack of parking space. Public transport has never been sufficient in this area, cause, apart from beer fans during the season, no one goes there, really. People are lazy gits by nature: who in the right mind would enjoy a walk alongside the river on a nice summer day, when you can just drive in?
So they did, and then drove out, often in a state in which they shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel.
Sure, not all of the people visiting were asshole drivers, but the very fact so many of them decided to come by car was a problem in itself.
The peek of popularity of the "beer gardens" came before the tunnel was dug up. Driving alongside the river in those days, you saw rows and rows of cars parked at the side of the road - where no parking was allowed. Too bad all the legal parking spots were taken. No wonder in the end some city official got pissed of.
In the end, what killed the beer gardens was their popularity. And, very polish attitude of their owners, that it all gonna work out SOMEHOW in the end, without i.e. dealing with city bureaucrats to work out some system solution to the parking problems.
