Wars, a company known for operating bar and restaurant carriages on long-haul trains, opened its first bricks and mortar restaurant in Warsaw on Wednesday.

The company, which is a subsidiary of PKP Intercity, wants to break away from the negative stereotypes it has been associated with throughout the years. It has been slowly revamping its restaurant carriages offering new interiors and menus.

Its new restaurant provided the company with an opportunity to serve alcohol, an activity prohibited on Polish trains.

By 2012 Wars intends to open eight such restaurants in major Polish cities, two or three of which will be located in Warsaw.

The establishments will be situated outside of rail stations. “Railway stations in Poland are not necessary a symbol of aesthetics and tidiness. It is another way of escaping the negative association following Wars since the communist era,” said Krzysztof Supa, CEO of Wars.

Besides restaurant carriages, Wars also operates sleeping carriages on overnight trains.

Established in 1948 its shareholders are PKP Intercity (50.02 percent) and the State Treasury (49.98 percent). PKP Intercity is the owner of all 97 carriages Wars operates on.

Two years ago the company started a program of upgrading its restaurant carriages. In 2008 alone it spent zł.3 million on revamping the cars. Since February 2009 it provides its passengers with internet access.

Last year the Treasury Ministry withdrew from plans of privatizing the company.
