Orthodox Bar

St Petersburg


Tired of the usual mojitos and margaritas? Head over to this intimate cocktail bar with a heavy Russian accent. Its cocktails menu has five sections, each named after one of the greatest Russian artists. The cocktails include only traditional (and unique) Russian ingredients, such as polugar (bread wine). The food menu has only three dishes but they're definitely worth trying.
