The Moscow Times presents Bar Guide.

This book is the result of a joint creative project between Russia’s only daily English-language newspaper The Moscow Times, which for 18 years has been an indispensable source of accurate, reliable and independent information about Russia for the English-speaking community, and the young and ambitious cocktail web site Inshaker.ru.

Whoever you are – student or academic, 24-hour party person or creative professional, middle manager or director of your own business – our Bar Guide will help you find the best watering holes on the cocktail map of Moscow, learn the basic secrets and skills of cocktail mixing, and embellish your vocabulary with new words and names.

Moscow is developing rapidly and becoming one of the centers of global bar culture, on par with New York, Berlin, Paris and Tokyo. We are delighted to be the ones to tell you all about this important social trend.

Cheers!

Even though the name of The Lounge on the first floor of the Lotte Hotel Moscow is not distinguished by its originality, the place itself is definitely not easy to forget. One whole, probably priceless, wall is made of onyx; you could easily lapse into meditation from the play of textures, colours and rays of light falling softly through the natural stone.
