Apartamenty

A vinyl bar with rituals and invisible connections.

A timeless interior, a taste beyond context: how the evenings are at "Apartments" on Ramen Avenue. Some establishments don't strive to be in the spotlight—and that's precisely why they become a magnet for those seeking an atmosphere, not just a format. "Apartments" on Ramen Avenue is a bar that only operates three evenings a week and doesn't try to please everyone. There are no random encounters, loud music, or visual clutter here. Only vinyl, soft, subdued lighting, and a taste that sets the rhythm of the evening.

The cocktail menu consists of ten drinks, each crafted like a short, metaphysical story. Each one has an idea, a mood, and its own unique narrative. One unfolds gradually, while another hits you immediately, like an emotional surge. Guests are united by "The Secret Message"—a cocktail ritual and a quiet correspondence between strangers: each drink is accompanied by a note from the previous guest, and the next guest receives a new message—creating an invisible chain of connection between people.

"Whispers of the Apartments"—made with gin, shiso liqueur, shochu, and jasmine-peach tonic—is delicate and subtle, like intuition in a glass. "Alchemy of Shelf No. 13"—made with vodka, pear, linden, strawberry soju, dry vermouth, and raspberry—is conceived as a forgotten love note tucked inside an antique book. Another option is "The Samurai Garden," made with sake and peach liqueur—clean and clear. "Fiery Soul," made with mezcal, has character and a smoky flavor. "Manuscript," made with cantaloupe, lychee, and pisco, is light, structured, with a slightly exotic aftertaste.

The bar offers a concise evening menu, perfectly complementing the cocktails and the relaxed atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a selection of appetizers with shrimp, crab, and chicken liver pâté (770₽ / 75 g), green olives (890₽ / 150 g), Parmesan cheese with fig jam (660₽ / 65 g), and fresh berries (890₽ / 160 g). The dessert selection includes a set of signature chocolates (truffle, salted caramel, Baileys; 660₽ / 45 g) and a refreshing sorbet selection: Aperol, lime-basil, and berries (770₽ / 160 g).

Guests can also order dishes from the menu of the "Alma" restaurant.

"Apartments" is open from Thursday to Saturday, from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM. This small, intimate space is located in the "Lomonosov" complex, next to the "Alma" restaurant. And it's probably one of those places you don't want to talk about too loudly. You just want to remember it. And return.
