Bar Shalyapin

"Shalyapin" bar – a successor to the first cocktail bar in Moscow, which opened at the "Metropol" hotel. The foundation of the cocktail menu is based on significant events in Shalyapin's life that influenced his creativity and success.

The "Shalyapin" bar at the "Metropol" hotel is once again ready to welcome guests. The atmosphere of the renovated bar skillfully blends different eras: the elegant hotel of the early 20th century and the modern cocktail bar create a new concept for the Grand Lobby & Bar space. In the process of renovating the "Shalyapin" bar, the internationally renowned design firm Denniston went beyond a single space and created a holistic concept that connects the historical interiors of the main entrance area with the bar, designed in the context of modern classicism and understated luxury.

The cocktail menu for the bar was created by head bartender Kirill Sencha (ranked among the top 20 bartenders of 2021 according to Diageo Reserve World Class, and an expert at the Bar Solution school) in collaboration with one of the most acclaimed bars in Europe, El Copitas Bar (included in the international ranking The World's 50 Best Bars-2021). The cocktail menu is based on significant events in the life of Fyodor Shalyapin, which influenced his creativity and success, and the emotions associated with these events were reflected in the flavors of the drinks.
