Who among us doesn’t like visiting bars, restaurants or cafes? And gatherings in the original place leave much more pleasant memories. We offer 8 of the most unusual bars in the capital:
One of the best and original establishments in the capital. Located on Kuznetsky Prospekt, on the 3rd floor of an old mansion. The bar has a unique interior and... quiet rest. Inside there is furniture from the Arkhangelsk province, a very old Soviet TV, grandmother’s lampshades, etc. All the things that ended up in this bar were used by past generations.
Piano bar on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, 22. This is a very unusual place. It is located in an old Moscow apartment. Inside there is wooden furniture, old lampshades, shelves with books and a piano. Visitors get the feeling that they are at home.
This is a cinema, bar and mini-disco in one bottle. Located in the center of Moscow, on Shchepkina Street, 42 (Prospekt Mira). In that unusual place you can eat delicious food, watch movies or football open air, dance and lie on comfortable large ottomans. In winter, the veranda of the Prospect Bar turns into an ice skating rink, with a cozy cafe serving mulled wine and hot chocolate.
The Dragon Temple is a very original bar and restaurant located on Leninsky Prospekt, 37. Inside there is a children's room with slides. There are mandarin ducks walking right around the hall, which you are allowed to feed. And the highlight of the establishment was a half-aquarium with fish and turtles.
It is a bar, restaurant and club at the same time. Its originality lies in Latin American, Cuban and European cuisines. You can also taste authentic Caribbean cocktails at this establishment.
In the dark - this is perhaps the most original place of all those listed. Located on Oktyabrskaya Street, 2/4. In this bar-restaurant, visitors dine in complete darkness. They begin to understand how blind people feel. In addition, food tastes better in the dark.
Drinking is harmful! But, you see, if you do it in moderation, it is very pleasant. Moreover, mixing the ingredients correctly to create a unique, delicious cocktail is an art, worthy of respect. And to do justice to this one-of-a-kind art, it’s worth trying his “works” in the best bars. Fortunately, we just have a list of the world's most worthy establishments.

The incredibly inventive menu changes regularly: last year it was based on flavours, and since July it has maintained a surreal theme.

The bar is located in the basement and is closely connected to the history of immigration. One of the bar's founders, Aline Vargas, explains: “Argentina's major 'migration eras' were between the 1900s and 1920s, and we've created a menu that reflects that perfectly. Our menu has five thematic sections, which include cocktails with a classic composition, but with our personal twist. Sections are dedicated to Italy, Spain, England, France and Poland.” It’s probably worth visiting here a couple of times to make a trip around the world.

More and more people are looking for the most unusual restaurants in Moscow, because visiting original and sometimes even strange places is always interesting.
Below we talk about interesting Moscow restaurants:
- with animals;
- themed interiors;
- unusual menu;
- unexpected entertainment;
- other features.
For complete immersion in the environment there is a restaurant "The Mirror of Carlos Santos", where there are no usual tables, menus and waiters. Instead, guests are invited to put on masks and go through 12 themed rooms, where everyone will be not only a spectator, but also a participant in the performances.
Unusual Moscow restaurants for two - places where you can have a memorable date. For example, perhaps the most unusual restaurant called "In the dark?!". This place is for those who like mystery. There is no usual list of dishes; you can only choose the main ingredient, which will be served in complete darkness. Many visitors to this restaurant are very surprised when they find out what dish was actually served.
For those who love chocolate, there is a confectionery shop Max Brenner- an interesting cafe in Moscow, where almost everything is “saturated” with this sweetness: from the menu to the interior and musical accompaniment. At Max Brenner you can conduct cocktail tastings - chocolate ones, of course.
Unusual and interesting bars in Moscow
Will bring bright resort colors interesting restaurant Tiki Bar- an unusual bar with palm trees, boats, surfboards and tropical dishes on the menu. Guests are entertained with master classes in Latin dancing, parties dedicated to kitesurfing, diving and discos.
Fans of the post-apocalypse genre will appreciate an unusual bar in Moscow "Shroedinger `s cat", located in a former bomb shelter. The interior, reminiscent of the popular computer games Fallout and Stalker, and the serving of signature cocktails in flasks, frozen spheres and test tubes will complement the vivid impression.
A group of men will enjoy an interesting restaurant "Predator Burgers" in steampunk style. After visiting this establishment, I just want to re-read “The Difference Machine” by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson and “The War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells. Burgers and steaks. The unique atmosphere and wide selection of cider and beer are why visitors love Predator.

In St. Petersburg, everything is not what it seems. You enter the laundry room - and there is a bar. When you enter the front door, there is also a bar there. You go to the hairdresser and they will pour you some. "Pharmacy" - bar. "Mail" - bar. But “Ryumochnaya” is absolutely not what you thought. Our expert will tell you how to go barhopping and not screw it up.
Cafe
The owners of Stirka call it a “laundry cafe.” Indeed, here you can do your laundry and drink coffee (an interesting combination). And yet, this is a real bar with shots, longs and colorful bartenders. Poets and DJs perform here and exhibitions are held. But the most important thing is that the youth of St. Petersburg residents passes here. The establishment has been around for many years and has long become a local legend. It’s not for nothing that even the lead singers of the Rolling Stones and Franz Ferdinand, when they came on tour, trusted “Wash” with their dirty clothes and pure hearts.

Just like at the post office, which is without quotes, here you can get into a queue - only not for a parcel, but for a drink. “Pochta” is a popular place, and this popularity is completely justified. It's cozy, atmospheric and very tasty. The bartenders are intelligent and charming. There is no menu or bar card, cocktails are made on a whim. You just need to set the leitmotif: “I want something sour/herbaceous/sweet,” and they will understand you. There are no fixed prices either; the cost of drinks fluctuates quite a bit. This is not the cheapest place in the city, but certainly one of the best. By the way, you can also eat at Pochta. The music, like the alcohol, is excellent. The interiors are crazy: some huge cans hang from the ceiling, birds look from the walls.

However, there are no stern face checkers at the entrance, and the employees of “Pif-Bang” are not snobs at all. The establishment hosts interesting exhibitions, has a good selection of board games, and has pleasant music.

You need to go to this “pharmacy” for medicine for the soul. Apotheke Bar does not hide, but does not advertise itself - the establishment does not have a sign. Whoever needs it will find it, following intuition. The bar is famous for its interesting cocktails and homemade liqueurs. And, of course, an intelligent atmosphere, completely unusual for most establishments on Dumskaya and Lomonosov.

Favored by the press, El Copitas has long since turned from a semi-secret bar into the most fashionable bar in St. Petersburg. Or even the whole country.
El Copitas is located in a gateway on Kolokolnaya Street and operates without a sign. Finding an establishment is a kind of quest. There are only 25 seats, you need to book a table in advance, and you can only come on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Why put up with all these restrictions? To be in inland Mexico for a while, try real tequila and mezcal, all kinds of cocktails based on them, as well as delicious Mexican food. Well, tell your friends that you were there.

No, El Copitas is not the only St. Petersburg bar where the Mexican surroundings are well played up. There's also Dia de los Muertos, and it's just awesome! The owners of the place call it "a glossy, vulgar pub with fun loud music, craft beer and Franciscan 1% conventual morality." In fact, the place is not glossy or vulgar, although it is buried in flowers and turtles. It's cozy, good, cheap. Very tasty beer (18 European varieties!) and cider. The bartenders are friendly. The food is interesting - hot Mexican snacks. They play some perky Balkan stuff on TV in German (!). In general, if you are not a complete snob, you will definitely like it here.

Vegetarian Restaurant, Bar
There is a stereotype that vegetarians are non-drinkers. They say they are too spiritual and airy for drinking. In fact, this is not true. Vegetarians drink, at least at the polygonal Hexagon. This is the city's first vegetarian wine bar (it happens). And, it seems, the first bar where you can order designer vegan desserts. Moreover, part of the proceeds from their sale goes to the Friend shelter for homeless animals. Well, how can you not celebrate with a glass of wine for only 180 rubles? If after a few glasses the tables and dishes in the establishment seem hexagonal to you, do not be alarmed - they are just that.
The bar hosts lectures, film screenings and master classes.

This is a pub. Japanese. And the music here is Japanese. And food. And beer and other alcohol. Yakitori here is prepared on real lava stones, and portions cost from 100 rubles, rolls from 110 rubles, sashimi from 220. The teas served are fragrant and wonderful. And for those who still want to roll, they recommend Japanese foam - Kirin Ichiban.

This bar is located in the front door of an old and very beautiful mansion. It’s somehow awkward to get drunk here - you’d rather have intellectual conversations with a glass of good wine in your hand. The establishment was chosen by the stars of St. Petersburg gossip columns. If you want to avoid crowds and noise, it is better to come here early, in the early evening.
