Cafes/Bars/Pubs, Moscow

Nice beer pub with German sorts. Nice place to relax after job. It's possible to have 0.33l, 0.5l and 1l in beautiful vassels (it's hard to say it's glass). The average price for 0.5l is RUR 200-250 (USD 6.50-8.20).
It is one of the place where you may have good meal.
I was in 3 places: in Okhotny Ryad area (seems to be closed now cause of reconstruction works near by), on Nametkin Street (near of crossing with Profsoyuznaya Street) and on Peschannaya Street (near of Sokol metro station).

Favorite Dish: Hefe-weizen sorts of beer

All we know, who comes to Moscow, that there are plenty of luxury places with good music and, sometimes, even good food. But for me there's one thing - atmosphere!

I'm in love with New York and in Nooning i felt, like i'm home again.

This loft style place is so lively and hip and I got why, when it discovered, that it was made by a london team, and now this fun and creative guys are my friends!

Menu, cocktails, music - perfect!

So if you come to visit Moscow this place is definetly - NEED TO GO!

Favorite Dish: Maracuja mousse with mango and coconut!!!

why it's good??? just come and try!

I know it's foolish to go all the way to Russia (from the USA) and want to have something I can get anytime back home, but after weeks of traveling, sometimes it's nice to see a familiar place.

The coffee here tastes the same as any Starbucks back home.

Favorite Dish: Caramel Macchiato

Rambling layout with balconies, beer and a dance floor with a stage. It's not cheap but it's not expensive. The service is typical Moscow: no smile no follow up.

But the locals are not stuffy.

Favorite Dish: The duck was good. The quesadilla was bland as was the salsa that went with it.

The restaurant is not far from Lubyanka square and it is styled to the interior of the direct room in USSR times, especially the hall on the second floor of the restaurant with tables with the green cloth. The prices are a bit higher than in other places with beer and I think it is mostly cause of the restaurant destination and interior because nothing special on beer list and menu I can't mention. The average check could be around RUR 1 000-1 200 (EUR 28-44).

Favorite Dish: Beer

The restaurant is situated near of Mayakovskaya metro station, in the beginning of Tverskaya-Yamskaya Steet. The choice is not big in beer, only 3 sorts that are brewing in the restaurant. In the same time the meal menu is very rich and tasty.

Favorite Dish: Smoked goose with cabbage

If you've spent any time in Moscow you'll probably have noticed that a) everything is very expensive and b) getting even the most minor thing done can be a chore.

This cosy little bar/restaurant is a welcome break from all that.

About 5 minutes walk from Red Square and Tverskaya, you'd hardly notice this place unless one of the funny amateur portraits outside catches your eye. Inside, it's pretty unassuming. Just find yourself a table, order some of the simple but delicious bar snacks (pork, chicken, salmon, buckwheat, freshly baked russian bread, pickled cabbage), get a cheap beer and you could spend all night in this lovely little place.

Boho types and students chat with each other over drinks, the bar staff are friendly and speak just enough English to get you by. This place is also a welcome break from bad Russian fashions, burgundy-dyed hair and billionaire extravagance.

Kamergersky Lane - it's a really nice european styled lane only 10 min by walk from Kremlin, between Tverskaya st. and Bolshaja Dmitrovka st. This lane is only around 200 meters long but have plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants for any taste and budget:

Snackbar "5 zvezd" - sandwiches, salads, soups, desserts, beverages, sushi (by the way their sushi are really very tasty!!!), small prices
Snackbar "Prime time" - all the same but not so tasty IMHO
Coffee house "Zen coffee" - i like their pancakes much))).
Coffee house "vatrushka" - i don't like it all: place has no concept, pink walls and plastic chairs, completely empty huge windows, all the desserts are like made from rubber
"Posh" cafe - name says for itself
Self service restaurant "Seno" - russian cuisine, very cheap
Italian restaurant "Gusto" - nice cozy place, reasonable prices
Italian cafe "Pinnocio"
French cafe "Cafe Des Artistes" - expensive, tasty, cozy
Cafe-pizzeria "Academia" - ordinary food, normal prices
Restaurant "Cebab city" - normal prices, arabian + japanese cuisine (japanese is really good, arabian one i didn't try)
