Kembridzh

«Kembridzh» at 42 Chkalova Street is styled like a London pub, with bookshelves, tapestry cushions, and heavy wooden tables in dimly lit rooms. Even on a weekend evening, it's easy to find a free table here, since this isn't the kind of place that draws noisy crowds. The atmosphere invites a quiet conversation over a drink rather than commotion. The place's main point of pride is its beer list of 40 varieties — English and continental European brands sit alongside craft beer from domestic producers. For those who want to get a proper feel for the flavors, there are tasting sets of five glasses, a convenient way to compare varieties and learn to tell them apart by more than just color and country of origin. The kitchen serves European and Russian food, and portions aren't skimped on. The menu includes dozens of appetizers and house-made sausages, and for mains you can order a skillet of meatballs in lingonberry praline or Celtic-style meat with vegetables. The average check at «Kembridzh» runs from 1,000 to 3,000 rubles.
