“Khoroshiy Bar v Kaliningrade” (A Good Bar in Kaliningrad)

The original concept of this place will not leave you indifferent. Tinctures, cocktails and chebureki (!) at very democratic prices.
The urban interior is decorated with accessories from an old Soviet apartment. The music is 90s hits, and together with a classic feast-table menu it plunges you into the atmosphere of the not-so-distant past. There are no reservations — seating is first come, first served.

Karla Marksa St., 41

An atmospheric, cosy music bar in Kaliningrad with signature cocktails. It is not far from Poplavok Pond in the historic part of the city.

Gendelya St., 3A

The brewery “Pivovar” is a special place in Kaliningrad where draught beer flows like a river. You can buy draught beer to take away.

There is a wide choice of hearty snacks, hot dishes and tasty lunches. The beer restaurant “Pivovar” also sells export beer from Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic and England.

Aleksandra Nevskogo St., 137B

The English pub “Sir Francis Drake” is an atmospheric, cosy bar on Sovetsky Avenue in Kaliningrad, where you can try beer from various European breweries in England, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany and elsewhere. The interior of the beer bar is in traditional English style and looks like a ship’s deck. “Sir Francis Drake” is rightly one of the legendary and oldest bars in Kaliningrad, but, alas, it has few seats. So we recommend booking a table in advance.

Sovetsky Ave., 19A

The bar “Dreadnought” in the centre of Kaliningrad offers the best beers from around the world — popular, exclusive and local Kaliningrad ones — as well as more than 12 signature craft tinctures. The interior of the “Dreadnought” is styled as a warship. The kitchen offers English, Balkan and Greek dishes, as well as tasty gyros, hot dogs and charcoal-grilled dishes. There is a lively entertainment programme on weekends.

Gendelya St., 5

The Irish Pub&Grill “Liberty” is in the very centre of Kaliningrad. Quality beer, refined grilled dishes, democratic prices and a special sporty atmosphere! Inside it is almost like a museum, with many paintings and sculptures. The “Liberty” bar in Kaliningrad is divided into zones, all the rooms have TVs, and different rooms can show different matches.
It is usually noisy and crowded on weekends, so we recommend booking a table in advance.

Leninsky Ave., 11

A craft bar in the centre of Kaliningrad where you can enjoy various kinds of craft beer and buy beer to take away. A wide choice of Russian beers with different flavours (classic, sour, fruity and even salty!), as well as plenty of bottled export beer, including rare American craft. There is a small choice of snacks and no hot dishes, so come to try beer at “Krany i Stakany” already fed ;)

Bramsa St., 40
