Optimists

«Optimists» is a bar on Bolshaya Pochtovaya Street in Moscow. Inside is a loft-style space with a friendly mood: the walls are covered with stickers and Soviet posters, creating a lively and slightly ironic atmosphere. Guests are invited to settle at the spacious bar counter or make themselves comfortable on the windowsills with soft cushions — a good option for those who like watching the street while chatting. The kitchen here is European, with an emphasis on snacks. The menu includes falafel and other dishes that go well with drinks and suit a group. The bar's format is conducive to long hangouts without a strict tasting-menu approach: you can order a couple of snacks, settle by the window and watch the city, or simply talk with friends at the counter. The place suits those looking for an informal setting in the city center, where the interior tells its own story through Soviet posters and stickers on the walls, and the snacks serve as a good complement to drinks and conversation.
