DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Arbat
BREWERY
ZHIGULI BEER HALL
10am-2am Sun-Thu,
10am-4am Fri & Sat; ; Arbatskaya)
It's hard to classify this old-style
stolovaya
(cafeteria) that happens to brew great beer. The
place harks back to the Soviet years, when a popular
pivnoy
bar by the same name was a
Novy Arbat institution. The minimalist decor and cafeteria-style service recalls the heyday,
although this place has been updated with big-screen TVs and a separate table-service din-
ing room.
CAFE
GOGOL-MOGOL
10am-11pm;
; Kropotkinskaya)
The front door is painted with a cake recipe in French, which should give you a pretty good
idea of what you are getting into. There are a few lunch items on the menu, but this is really
a place to come to indulge in rich French pastries and sweet drinks such as the namesake
Gogol-Mogol (which is like egg-nog, but it rhymes).
