An important plus - you can come with your snacks. There are no tables and seats, but it’s much more interesting to sit at the bar and chat with people around while drinking craft beer, and recently, the place has already started holding traditional thematic nights, acoustic concerts and other musical events.
Rock star cafe

Hookah is an atypical format for a rock and roll bar. But at the same time, in rock culture there are no frames and limitations for experiments. A restaurant with a mysterious interior that, among other things, creates an atmosphere for relaxation. Hookahs, cocktails, good cuisine, the best music, dark and scarlet tones, portraits of musicians - these are the components that form the idea of a lounge for a rock music lover.
