Chroniki Bar
«Chroniki» bar on ulitsa Nekrasova anachronistically yet effortlessly harmonizes the drinking cultures of a modern Scandinavian bar and a classic Leningrad «ryumochnaya» (the traditional Soviet-era watering hole). The stylish interior is very modern yet cozy, simple yet edgy, with white tiled walls, brass windowsills, gilded antique Soviet chandeliers. The preferred order at Chroniki is, as per tradition at a Leningrad ryumochnaya, hard alcohol (there are a many vodka varieties, from the legendary Stoli for 90 rubles to Finnish, Swedish and Danish brands) and the bartenders also recommend Crimean port wine “Massandra”, locally brewed craft beer, and a house-special cocktail “Free Ingria”. The weeknights are more chilled out for quiet but steady drinking and on the weekends, friends of the owners are invited to DJ and merry revelry almost always inevitably ensues
