Chaynyy Pogreb

«Chaynyy Pogreb» is tucked away in a basement not far from Chernyshevskaya — you need to walk through an archway into the courtyard at Chaikovskogo, 34. The space itself sets the mood right away: low vaulted ceilings, white brick walls, and instead of the usual sofas, furniture made from wooden pallets with soft cushions. This is a classic hookah bar where tea takes centre stage — various kinds are brewed and served with desserts. The place suits long hangouts with friends: board games are on hand, and there are also video games for anyone who wants to add some action to the evening. The kitchen is billed as chef's own creations — anyone stopping by for more than just hookah and tea should ask on-site about the specific dishes available.
