It doesn't make a great deal of sense to buy an ukulele in Moscow, but this music shop has
the miniature 'ukubar', which serves a few dozen types of coffee drinks and teas. In the
evening, your bar stool becomes a vantage point from which to observe people learning to
play ukulele and its Russian equivalent - balalayka .
CAFE, CLUB
SOLYANKA
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; http://s-11.ru ; ul Solyanka 11; cover Fri & Sat R500; 11am-6am; )
Solyanka No 11 is a historic 18th-century merchant's mansion that has been revamped into
an edgy, arty club. Wide plank-wood floors, exposed brick walls, leather furniture and
funky light fixtures transform the space. By day it's an excellent restaurant, serving contem-
porary, creative Russian and European food.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the big bar room gets cleared of tables and the
DJ spins hip-hop, techno and rave. The music usually starts at 11pm (and so does the face
control).

It's a sports bar, but it sure is a snazzy one. The gorgeous interior features big windows,
tiled floors and Gothic arched ceilings, in addition to the 20-plus flat-screen TVs. The
centrepiece of the main hall is the huge screen, complete with projector as well as dramatic
auditorium-style seating.

( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 495-624 1320; www.cafe-didu.ru ; Myasnitskaya ul 24; lunch R190-320,

This playful club-cafe invites relaxation and fun with lounge furniture, tantalising cocktails
and colourful modelling clay. Containers of pliable playdough are found on each table (right
next to the condiments) and the sculpted results are on display all around the restaurant.
If that is not enough to keep you entertained, there are also late-night movies (midnight
Sunday to Thursday) and weekend dance parties (11pm Friday and Saturday).
