A pub-theater offering authentic theatrical performances, trendy food, stylish cocktails, and a wide selection of beers.

Moscow, New Arbat Street, 5 Website Concept by: Denis Bobkov

ABOUT THE RESTAURANT This new project from the team behind Black Swan pub & shop and the Bambule bar is a two-story pub-theater called The Abbey Players, inspired by the history and decor of the National Irish Theatre Abbey in Dublin. The concept was created by Denis Bobkov, co-owner of Black Swan pub & shop and the Bambule bar on Solyanka Street. The menu is curated by Denis Krupenya and his brother Pavel Krupenya, while the bar program is overseen by Vitaly Bgantsev (Veladora, "Voda," Bambule). The theatrical element extends beyond the decor; young Moscow directors will be staging performances in the pub. The first production is based on Martin McDonagh's play "The Ledge," and the director is Ilya Leonov (Teatr.DOC).
