Description
This is not a usual pub crawl, it is a cultural experience with drinking! You will visit three authentic and cosy local bars that we chose from our favourites. On the way to the bars, as a starter, you will hear about the most popular drink in Russia, which is...not vodka! It is tea.
You will be introduced to the craft beer rush and visit an extremely popular craft beer bar. You will learn how to toast in Russian and how to drink nastoikas - berry infused spirits, so commonly made at Russian homes. We will teach you which appetizers work best with which drinks before you get a shot of the queen of spirits - Russian vodka!
If you feel that the night is young, and you want to explore the other bars, just ask your guide for recommendations. Luckily, our tour takes place on the busiest bar street of the city.
