Black Swan Pub

«Black Swan Pub» is located on Solyanka Street, near Kitay-Gorod, with the entrance from Zabelina Street. The venue occupies several floors and rooms, each with its own character. The central hall is hand-painted with exotic plants — orchids, ferns, palms, and water lilies — inspired by the Kew botanical gardens. It also houses a two-sided bar: one side opens directly onto pedestrian Solyanka Street, while the other faces into the hall, so you can grab a pint of beer without even stepping inside. Next to the "greenhouse" is a fireplace room with an old bishop's bench and a fireplace that hasn't been lit in a long time but remains a decorative feature of the interior. On the minus-first floor, guests will find the "Library," "Storeroom," "Mirror Room," and "Gothic" halls — each with its own atmosphere and details. A separate story is the "Secret Room," or Hidey Hole. It can be reached through what looks like a service exit, followed by a suite of corridors from former salt cellars leading into a Gothic space with organ pipes, antique stained-glass windows, and a real bell. This nearly two-hundred-square-meter vaulted space, with five separate halls and a medieval wine cellar, operates on a special schedule: May 1–3 and May 9–11, from 4:00 PM. The pub's cuisine is mixed, with an average check of 1,000 to 3,000 rubles.
