Kalina Bar

The Kalina Bar is located atop the newly opened Lotte Plaza in Moscow – a twenty-one storey shopping and business centre. This is just a couple of minutes walk from Old Arbat Street in the vicinity of the White House. The Bar cum Restaurant cum Karaoke (the latter in a separate room) is a vibrant concept with a special atmosphere. Unsurprisingly, the major draw of the Kalina Bar is its elevated position with 360 degree panoramic views of Moscow.

The extensive Kalina Bar area serves a vast selection of cocktails and has an enviable wine list. The chief barman learnt his trade in London’s renowned Light Bar and known to be a favourite bartender of Robert De Niro. The restaurant serves a delicious fusion of Japanese and European cuisine under the watchful eye of the renowned Italian chef Fabrizio Crespi. An original speciality of the Kalina Bar is the heavy presence of all types of berries on its menu – raspberries, cranberries, strawberries and viburnum (an exotic single-seed fruit).

The Kalina Bar is a popular venue to start-off an evening. The multicoloured, vibrant lights of Moscow’s streets and buildings glow in the background all around you - a stark reminder that the city is waiting for you to be explored into the early hours of the morning. It is an ideal venue to enjoy a drink with friends, a romantic dinner with a loved one or to impress a stranger with your vocal chords.

Affluent Muscovites have made Kalina Bar a popular meeting place as starters before heading out into the Russian capital’s pulsating nightlife.
