This bar serves Becherovka. And it has Russian constructivist themed artwork. And it is called the Avant-garde Bar. Therefore it is the perfect bar.

Decor inside the venue is amazing and so fun. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and efficient. The venue isn't laid out great for live music, as the stage is right next to the door and looks out onto a tight passage way, making it a bit of a traffic jam around the bar and exit.

We get here for the drinks and they were so good! The owner it’s very friendly, we had a great time, can’t wait to go again.

Went to rock show here. The band's were great and the old fashioned was delicious!

I've had the pleasure of DJing there twice and both times I was very impressed by the welcoming and friendly Owner / Bartender Alexei and just absolutely love the decor! I'd absolutely recommend stopping by to enjoy the atmosphere for a drink or consider hosting an event with the tables and bar/ floor space around the venue as it's just an amazing vibe when it's full of people dancing and drinking and chatting and just having a good time.

One of the coolest bars around, always great acts, drink and anything else you could want

Great place! Friendly stuff and good Russian food. Live music makes difference as well. I feel like home here. Thank you!
