There’s an open kitchen so you can watch your food being cooked. The prices are very cheap for Moscow – the most expensive alcoholic cocktail costs RUB 250 (around €5). Free WiFi. Read more ›

Craft beer, atmosphere, cheapest price

All your friends (Vse tvoi druziya)

This place was opened in July of 2014 and was the 1st craft beer place in Moscow. The atmosphere is fantastic: there is just a few tables inside, but you could use a keg or a box to sit - who cares. After 22:00 DJ's show up and start playing random music. You could dance in an empty room. Prices are amazingly low. Read more ›
