In-Depth Information
It's a club! It's a restaurant! It's a gallery! Set on four levels, ArteFAQ makes use of every
inch of space, with music in the basement, a bar and outdoor terrace at ground level and din-
ing upstairs. If you choose to check out the underground, be ready to get your groove on, as
the music is heavy on the disco.
BAR
KUKLY PISTOLETY
noon-midnight Sun-Thu,
noon-5am Fri & Sat; Mendeleevskaya)
It's a local that attracts a regular crowd of regular people who like to hang out there on a reg-
ular basis. Come to quaff a few cold ones, watch the big screen and enjoy the camaraderie.
While you're here, you can ponder the dolls and guns that adorn the walls, thus earning the
bar its strange name.
ENTERTAINMENT
LIVE MUSIC
MASTERSKAYA
All the best places in Moscow are tucked into far corners of courtyards, and they often have
unmarked doors. Such is the case with this super-funky music venue. The eclectic, arty in-
terior makes a cool place to chill out during the day. Evening hours give way to a diverse ar-
ray of live-music acts or the occasional dance or theatre performance.
CLUB
12 VOLTS
The founders of Moscow's lesbian movement opened this cafe-cum-social club, hidden
away in a courtyard off Tverskaya ul. Buzz for admission. Once you're in, you'll find both
gays and lesbians socialising together in a cosy environment, enjoying great drink specials
and listening to pop music.
