Delicatessen is a basement gastro-bar with house-made drinks and a hard-to-find entrance, and Mendeleev Bar & Music is a relaunched cocktail bar on Petrovka. All three are at an upscale level (₽₽₽).

Practical details

The venues cluster around Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya and Chekhovskaya stations, with Teatralnaya and Kuznetsky Most close to the clubs and bars near the Bolshoi Theatre. Mendeleyevskaya is the stop for Molodezh.

For basics, Fasol is a franchise chain of convenience stores run under METRO, and several are open around the clock. Respublika is a bookstore chain, and the status of its first store was not verified, so check before a special trip.

Evenings are calmer early and busiest on Friday and Saturday, so arrive earlier if you want a seat.
