On bar-lined ul Belinskogo, Farsh & Bochka stands out for its wide-ranging line-up of craft brews, with over 30 on draft, including SPB and Russian varieties. It's a noisy, buzzing place – a fine spot to catch a game or have a low-key night while sipping a full-bodied Vienna-style lager and munching on barbecued meats, rosemary fries or shrimp tacos.
