LOT, Poland's national airline, is an underdog in European aviation, it is in the Lufthansa galaxy, but it is not controlled by the German group and while waiting for the new flagships it flies, with its 8 Dreamliners to Asia and North America and does so at really attractive prices, this is the reason that brought me all the way to Warsaw to fly to Japan to with LOT.
Location
The Mazurek lounge is Lot's VIP lounge in the area dedicated to non-Schengen flights. Once you pass through security you must follow the signs and go down the escalators, make a U-turn, and a few steps later you will find the two lounges in this area of the terminal.

Mazurek is LOT's, while Etiuda is the independent one that also serves non-Star Alliance passengers
Access
This lounge is designed for Polish airline passengers and gold Miles&More members, LOT in fact is a Star Alliance member and participates in the same program as all LH carriers.
So those who travel in business and those who have Gold Star Alliance status and obviously fly Star Alliance from this airport can enter.
The lounge
As anticipated in the title it is tiny, although the non-Schengen destinations served by LOT and the other airlines that fly here such as Turkish, are not few. Of course the long haul is not infinite, with only eight 787/9s difficult to cover a larger network, however, there are many destinations in the Eurasian area served besides the Middle East.
It is a small tastefully furnished openspace, Wood and warm colors dominate, illuminated by the runway light. The special feature is precisely that we are on street level, so you have a view of runway life as well as a chance to admire the planes from an unusual angle.
Past the reception desk is the buffet area, then there are small tables and sofas with cabin-like decor, complete with a fake fireplace.
Along the entire window runs a table with high stools that allow one to work (what I am doing now) while admiring the runway in the sunset light.
In terms of services, it offers little to nothing. There is Wi-fi, bathrooms and showers, and nothing else.
Food & Beverage
There is little space so the offerings are also calibrated accordingly. There is a small central island with some hot offerings and a small cold buffet.
Then there are two areas dedicated to beverages. One dedicated to beverages and the cafeteria.
A second area with integrated counter instead dedicated to spirits, we are in Eastern Europe here breakfast vodka.
It's just too bad that at 8 p.m. with two flights departing at 11 p.m., the hot offer was dismantled, the same thing that had happened to me in Beijing at Air China lounge, and that is absolutely not good.
In conclusion
A small lounge for a company that is not small. True, for Schengen passengers there is a lounge on the opposite side of this one, but perhaps a few more square feet would not hurt.
