Sort of niceish place to have a game of pool and a drink. European drinks and coctails available (though priced accordingly!). Good security, nobody would disturb you and taxi awaiting at the entrance. Open all night. Better quality people, too.

Dress Code: No particular dress code, though appearing in sports suit or pajams might not be smiled upon.

VIEW TO TOWN FROM AIRPORT

It is worth remembering that when flying in Kazakstan, when the aircraft stops at the terminal, stay seated.

The pilots always get off the plane first.

Dangerous to flash money or be offensive to locals, especially rough looking youths. Stay away from public gathering where can be lots of drunken people who are easily out of control and hostile to well-off foreigners.
