The bar is situated in Gdansk and is advertised as a place for “stray wizards” to enjoy a drink, although “muggles are welcome too”.

It is completely decked out in Potter merchandise, making any fans feel right at home while on their travels.

It even serves Butterbeer, both hot and cold, so it can be enjoyed at all times and in any weather.

A mug of the magical brew, which also comes alcohol-free, costs around £3.80 at either temperature.

There are stronger drinks available too, including cocktails ranging in price from £5 to £6.40.

The drinks are all named after concoctions found in the Potter books and films, like Wolfsbane Potion, the Drink of Despair and of course Felix Felicis, the drink after which the bar is named – also referred to as “Liquid Luck”.

Meanwhile, a beer in the bar will set you back around £3.25.

They also sell chocolate wands, with children as welcome in the bar as older fans during the day.

There’s even Harry Potter Lego to keep the youngsters occupied.

The pub has a score of 4.7/5 on Google from more than 250 reviews.

One visitor wrote: “Magic place! You really can move to the enchanted world of Harry Potter for a moment, and after magical drinks and shots, it’s a real trip on a broomstick.

“My friends and I had a fantastic time and we will definitely be back soon.”

Another said: “Every fan of Harry Potter will be pleased with a visit.”

Believe it or not, Felix Felicis is not the only Harry Potter-themed establishment in the country either.

Dziórawy Kocioł, or the Leaky Cauldron in English, offers visitors both alcohol-free butterbeer and “potions” as part of its menu.

The potions come served with dry ice to add an extra dramatic effect to the drinks.

The café in Krakow is also kitted out with plenty of Potter paraphernalia and has plenty of pastries and sandwiches for visitors to enjoy.

Guests can also take a bottle of Butterbeer home with them as a souvenir.
