Tolstyy fraer

«Tolstyy fraer» on Malaya Morskaya, 8, is part of a Petersburg chain of Leningrad-style beer halls that has been running since 2003. The founder and ideologist of the establishment is Alexander Rosenbaum, which gives the place its distinctive Petersburg character. The metro station «Admiralteyskaya» is nearby, so it's easy to get to. The beer hall serves European and Russian cuisine, with the menu built around the chain's own beer, brewed specially for it at a plant in the Leningrad Region. Guests are offered cold appetizers, salads, soups, dishes from the in-house meat section, meat and fish dishes, desserts, and alcohol for any occasion. Business lunches from 430 rubles are available from 12:00 to 16:00, and on weekdays until 16:00 there's a 10% discount on "fraerskie obedy" (fraer's lunches). For groups, there's a banquet offer priced at 3,500 rubles per guest. Besides the location on Malaya Morskaya, the chain has beer halls on Dumskaya, on Lunacharskogo Avenue, on the 8th Line of Vasilyevsky Island, on Mira Street, and on Belinskogo Street — each with its own character and interior details.
