In St. Petersburg, everything is not what it seems. You enter the laundry - and there is a bar. You enter the front door - there is also a bar. You go to the hairdresser's and they'll pour you some. "Pharmacy" - bar. "Post" - bar. But "Rimochnaya" is not at all what you thought. Our expert will tell you how to barhop and not screw up.

Cafe

The owners of "Stirka" call it "cafe-laundry". Indeed, here you can do laundry and drink coffee (already an interesting combination). And yet this is a real bar with shots, longs and colorful bartenders. Poets and DJs perform here, exhibitions are held. But the most important thing is that the youth of Petersburgers passes here. The establishment has been around for many years and has long become a local legend. No wonder even the soloists of the Rolling Stones and Franz Ferdinand, coming on tour, trusted "Stirka" with their dirty clothes and pure hearts.

Bar

As in the post office, which is without quotes, here you can get into a queue - only not for a package, but for a drink. The Post Office 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 and bar list, cocktails are made on a whim. You just need to set the leitmotif: “I want sour / grassy / sweet”, and you will be understood. There are no fixed prices either, the cost of drinks fluctuates quite a lot. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's definitely one of the best. By the way, you can also eat at the Post Office. Music, like alcohol, excellent. The interiors are insane: some huge jars hang from the ceiling, birds watch from the walls.

Bar

Here you will get a haircut, and they will feed you with very tasty burgers, and give you a drink. It sounds cozy and homely, but in fact, "Bang-Bang" is not the place where you can show up in anything and at any time, a very fashionable public has chosen this bar-hairdresser's. However, there are no harsh face inspectors at the entrance, and the Pif-Paf employees are not at all snobs. The institution hosts interesting exhibitions, has a good selection of board games, and pleasant music sounds.

Bar

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

Bar

Favored by the press, El Copitas has long turned from a semi-secret bar into the most fashionable bar in St. Petersburg. And even the whole country.

El Copitas is located in a gateway on Kolokolnaya Street and operates without a sign. Finding an institution 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? In order to be in inner 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.

Bar

No, El Copitas is not the only St. Petersburg bar where the Mexican entourage is coolly played up. There is also Dia de los Muertos, and it's just awesome! The owners of the establishment call it "a glossy vulgar pub with cheerful loud music, craft beer and Franciscan conventional morality of 1%." In fact, the place is not glossy and not 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 appetizers. On TV they are playing some perky Balkan stuff in German (!) Language. 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. Like, they are too spiritual and airy for drinking. Actually, it is not. Vegetarians drink, at least at the establishment with the polygonal name Hexagon. This is the city's first vegetarian wine bar (it happens sometimes). And, it seems, the first bar where you can order original 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, don't be alarmed - they are.

The bar hosts lectures, film screenings and master classes.

Bar

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

Bar

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

Who among us does not like to visit bars, restaurants or cafes. And in the original place, gatherings leave much more pleasant memories. We offer 8 most unusual bars of the capital:

One of the best and original institutions of the capital. Located on Kuznetsky Prospekt, on the 3rd floor of an old mansion. The bar has a unique interior and is conducive to a 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 have the feeling that they are at home.

This is a cinema, a bar and a mini-disco in one bottle. It is located in the center of Moscow, on Shchepkina street, 42 (Prospect Mira). In this unusual place, you can have a delicious meal, watch movies or football in the open air, dance and lie down on comfortable large ottomans. In winter, the Prospect Bar veranda turns into a skating rink, and a cozy cafe with mulled wine and hot chocolate opens on it.

The Dragon Temple is a very original bar and restaurant located on Leninsky Prospekt 37. Inside there is a children's room with slides. Mandarin ducks walk right through the hall, which are allowed to be fed. And the highlight of the establishment was a half-aquarium with fish and turtles.

This is a bar, restaurant and club at the same time. Its originality lies in Latin American, Cuban and European cuisines. Also in this institution you can taste real Caribbean cocktails.

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 total darkness. They begin to understand how the blind feel. In addition, the taste of food is better felt in the dark.

Rest is an important part of our life. Where can you have a good rest with friends, if not in a cozy bar? Relax after a working week, chat over a glass of cocktail. And what are the bars? Variety. There are places so interesting that it is worth talking about them.

Let's start with a bar in Jordan. The bar is located in the grave cave.

For commercial purposes, only one cave is allowed to be used here. And it housed this unusual bar. The walls of the ancient cave are part of an ancient tomb, which was hollowed out many centuries ago by the Nabataeans. Tables stand both in the open air, on a spacious platform outside, and in the cave itself, where the lamplight casts ominously bloody reflections on the sandstone walls. Some of the tables are located in niches, which, most likely, should have been used for burials. The bar will be to the taste of the originals, as this scary place is both terrifying and intriguing. All in all, an exotic place.

But a bar in Jamaica is a warm piece of paradise. It looks like a bunch of palm branches, leaves, casually fixed on piles right on the water. Inside the bar there are rope ladders, hammocks that will receive their guests and allow you to sit comfortably with a glass of cocktail in your hands. And friendly dolphins are happily splashing around the bar.

Another extraordinary bar is located in Sweden. He accepts his visitors only in the autumn - winter period. This is an ice bar. Every year it is built from huge blocks of ice. The very beautiful design of the bar from the inside sets you in a romantic mood, despite the cold.

Another exotic place is a bar located in a cliff cave above the ocean - a favorite vacation spot for both locals and tourists who come to Menorca. Regular visitors to this bar like to sit under umbrellas on the outdoor terrace and admire the Balearic Islands. At night the bar turns into a disco.

In the Israeli city of Eilat, you can visit a real underwater bar-restaurant. It is built in the shape of a star, which corresponds to its name. The bar is completely decorated in a marine style. The lower floors are immersed in water, on the upper floors there is a kitchen and a dance floor. Luxurious and exclusive bar.

Have you ever wanted to dine in total darkness? Or maybe you would like to taste a marvelous dinner in the company of lions or giraffes? Maybe dine in a place where you can drink wine from a baby's bottle? We present to your attention the most unusual restaurants from all over the world that can surprise even the most demanding and sophisticated visitors.

Unusual restaurants of the world

1. "Hitlers' Cross" ("Hitler's Cross")

Mumbai, India

Inside this neo-Nazi restaurant, everything is decorated with a swastika. Owner Puneet Sublock says that before that, he didn’t think much about the name and chose this only to attract visitors, because the menu is mainly Italian cuisine, and not at the cheapest price.

3. "Eternity"

Truskavets, Ukraine

A coffin restaurant called "Eternity" offers dinner in the Ukrainian city of Truskavets. The exterior of the building and the interior are completely connected with the funeral theme. There are many funeral candles on the tables and on the walls. There are coffins everywhere. The menu offers dishes such as "9th day" or "40th day"; a dish called "Meet me in Paradise" is served as a hot dish. It should be noted that the restaurant turned out to be quite popular even for wedding celebrations.

4. Dinner In The Sky

Brussels, Belgium

For those who are tired of noise, smoking and hustle in the halls, we suggest visiting restaurant"Dinner in Heaven" The name speaks for itself. A special table that is lifted into the air by a powerful crane can become another place for a lunch break or an unusual date. True, getting a fallen spoon will be problematic. The institution is located in Belgium, but if there is a desire and means, the organizers are ready to bring it to anywhere in the world.

5. The Hobbit House

Manila, Philippines

The only restaurant in the world where only dwarfs work, but the owners and staff call themselves exclusively hobbits. The institution is located in the capital of the Philippines, so national dishes and live ethnic music are included.

6. Nyotaimori

Japan

In many restaurants in the Land of the Rising Sun, food is traditionally served on a naked human body. This custom was called "Nyotaimori". Girls are specially prepared for such work: at the first stage, the entire hairline is removed from the body, and after that the girl takes a bath using a special odorless soap, and at the end she is doused with cool water. Before serving, the body of a girl (or a guy) must acquire the right temperature for serving dishes (mostly sushi). Also, girls, like real plates, should be able to lie still for several hours. They are also specially trained for this.

Unique cafes

7. "Christian Cafe" ("Christian Cafe")

Shinjuku, Japan

The interior of this cafe resembles a Christian church. There is an iconostasis, a cross and many statues. The institution often hosts noisy parties, so drinking cocktails, including alcoholic ones, is not uncommon here, but drunken brawls have not yet happened in the Christian cafe.

8. "Modern Toilet" ("Modern toilet")

Taiwan

An institution with the proud name "Modern toilet» for those people whose appetite is difficult to spoil with anything, because food is served here in special bowls in the shape of a toilet bowl, drinks in plastic containers for collecting tests. Visitors to the cafe sit on toilet chairs, under the transparent tables of the establishment there are ordinary sinks. All this is done, according to the manager, to refresh the taste sensations of visitors and, of course, to shock.

9. The Owl Cafe

Japan

You won’t surprise anyone with cat cafes in Japan, so quite exotic establishments began to appear in the country. Owl theme is in fashion now. In a standard cafe, they keep 20-30 owls, with which visitors are allowed to communicate and pick up. The Japanese love to drink their usual tea or coffee in the company of such cute, but still predatory and wild birds. The cafe is usually darkened, because owls are nocturnal birds and their eyes are not used to bright daylight. In these cafes, visitors can buy owl-themed souvenirs, which, by the way, are very popular. And long queues line up at the cafe every day, but even the lucky ones who got inside are given only 1 hour to “date” with the owls. But it's worth it!

10. "Chongqing"

China

In China, an unusual summer cafe has opened right on the shallow water of the local river. The institution has managed to gain great popularity. To the question " How much does it cost to open a cafe in a place like this?" the organizers, perhaps, will answer that not much, because they saved a lot on the air conditioning system. Also, the cafe is equipped with the usual cheap plastic chairs and tables. The depth of the river at the location of the cafe is only about 1 cm. The long summer here is known for its high temperatures and high humidity, so the cafe on the river makes it possible to get cool.

Original bars from around the world

11. The Brandy Library

New York, USA

To the question "How to get to the library?" the answer "What can be a library at three in the morning" will not be relevant. After all, this drinking establishment is an intellectual bar. They read labels here, and they teach not new words at all, but the names of drinks. The interior of the bar, as the name already implies, is made in the style of a library, but on the shelves there are by no means books, but more than 900 brands of brandy, single malt and blended whiskey, rum, cognac and liquor. Jazz evenings complete the picture, which, together with the general atmosphere, immerse visitors in the atmosphere of old New York. This bar has become the most popular among tourists visiting american metropolis .

12. Big Baobab Pub

Sunland Farm, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Who said that on opening your own bar need a lot of money? Here in Africa they just found the largest tree in the world and converted it for tourists into a bar, which is now famous among tourists all over the world. In the bar, despite the unusual appearance, the interior is quite ordinary. The indigenous peoples of South Africa associate many legends with the baobab. The giant baobab from the province of Limpopo is as little as 6,000 years old and about 60 people can easily be there at the same time. The idea in such an unusual way came to a local businessman Van Herdens and in 1993 the bar received its first visitors. The choice of bar drinks is quite standard, the main one being beer. The advantage of this institution, located in the south of the hot continent, is that it always has a pleasant temperature (+22 C).

13. Dick's Last Resort

USA

This is a chain of bars and restaurants in the United States. The highlight of this establishment is the out-of-the-ordinary service. Here are collected all the boors, foul language and bullies, because only such people are hired at Dick's Last Resort. Neither the administrator nor the complaint book in this bar will help you. Insulting and humiliating visitors is one of the duties of the attendants.

14. Museum HR Giger Bar

Gruyere, Switzerland

Sometimes glamorous bars get so boring that you want to spend time in a place where there will really be something new and original. It was this principle that the sculptor and designer, the legendary artist Hans Rudolf Giger, adhered to, before how to open this bar. It was he who once created the concept of creatures and art design in Ridley Scott's film "Alien", and then founded the museum, where he exhibits his best work. But perhaps one of Giger's most impressive creations is the bar at the museum, opened in 2003. Every detail of the interior of the bar makes visitors feel like they are inside an alien ship from the movie "Alien" or just in another reality. Loved in the pub spend your free time eccentric personalities and drinkers in unusual places, and in 2011 this bar won the title of the most original bar in Europe.

15. "The Clinic Bar" ("Clinic")

Singapore

Singaporeans offer tourists to visit an unusual hospital. A client with a sense of humor will easily imagine being sick. This is a world famous nightclub and bar-restaurant. The extravagant D. Hirst worked on the design and concept of the establishment. Upon entering the bar, you will feel like you are in a morgue. Inside, instead of the usual places at the tables, you will see wards with beds and gauze curtains, and instead of chairs - wheelchairs; droppers instead of glasses, food in medical plates. Despite all this, there are enough people who want to relax in hospital style. After all these procedures, you can 100% feel like a healthy person.

Such are the excesses for gourmets. Travel and be amazed. Bon appetit!
