Learn Polish: W weekend często bywamy w tym kameralnym lokalu. - On the weekend we often frequent this intimate venue.

Bywać is the frequentative form of być (to be). It specifically means "to be somewhere often" or "to frequent a place". While jesteśmy just means "we are" right now, bywamy emphasizes a repeated, habitual action. Combined with często (often), it highlights that visiting this venue is a regular habit.

Why is it w weekend and not in the Locative case, like w weekendzie?

When expressing time with days of the week or the word weekend, the preposition w takes the Accusative case, not the Locative. Since weekend is a masculine inanimate noun, its Accusative form is identical to its basic dictionary form.

Does kameralnym have anything to do with cameras?

No, it is a false friend! Kameralny means intimate, cozy, or small-scale (similar to the English word chamber, like in chamber music). It perfectly describes a quiet, private atmosphere in a restaurant or cafe. Here it is in the Locative case (kameralnym) to match lokalu.
