Drinks & Nightlife
This place has a soul of St. Pete in there, seriously. The bar interiour is inspired by both scandinavian and soviet design, they call it 'Inner Ingermanlandia'. Make sure you try their house coctail (Svonodnaya Ingria, 'Independent Ingria') or shot (Zapadny — 'Western', — and Severny — 'Northern').
