Friday. There is not much money, but to relax after a hard week, oh, how you want ... Is it familiar? Surely everyone at least once had to find themselves in such a situation. For students, for example, this is a common occurrence. But at the same time, young people are constantly hanging out, walking, and there are enough funds for bars. What's the secret? It is banal to disgrace, but effective.
Are there any budget places to stay in the capital?
Want to have fun without making holes in your wallet? Do it in the right places (for our purpose)! And we will help you find the right bar in Moscow. Inexpensive, but nice and productive, you can relax, even in the capital. We have a lot of institutions of such a plan. Let's quickly deal with the misunderstanding in the form of a lack of money for a solid bar. Our excursion into the drinking world of the capital will turn your idea about how much you need to spend money to get enough time!
"Second wind"
Interesting in cheap beer bars in Moscow? Believe me, those still remain. A good example is the good old bar "Second Wind". After his visit, a third and a fourth may appear, because drinking here is very easy, fun and cheap, which is so important for us!
This drinking establishment is located in Pyatnitsky Lane, and it has settled here for quite some time. And if most of the wineglasses have closed or changed their format (and above all the prices!), Then this legendary place not only survived, but also retained its most important qualities as a cheap bar. Of course, the interior here is far from luxurious - several iron tables, a small bar counter and ashtrays from emptied beer cans. But the main thing in “Second Wind” is the atmosphere and people. This is just all right.
The place is very busy, even noisy, so it's worth a big company to come here: an intellectual dialogue is unlikely to succeed, but to have fun and get to know the neighboring table is quite. Getting drunk at the bar, as already mentioned, is easy. Yes, and you will not stay hungry. The prices are ridiculous and warm the soul: a stack of vodka for 50 rubles and the same amount for a sandwich. At 500 rubles you can cheer yourself up, and hospitable hosts often treat themselves, the main thing is to be friendly and not too demanding (remember our goal is cheap and fun). Having asked the guests leaving the Second Wind, you will be convinced that this place is worthwhile. Although why bother - try it yourself!
"Under the fly"
For several consecutive years, this unusual and highly democratic bar has been popular among students, clerks and free artists. In Moscow, they are still inexpensive, but sincerely and drunk. And Under the Fly is a perfect example. It is located in the basement, while you are walking down the stairs, plaster can easily break off the ceiling and fall directly onto your head. There is little light and a little less air (the location and high popularity of the bar affect the location). Nevertheless, the institution is beloved by many Muscovites and guests who settled in the capital. And all for the same reason - cheap. But this is not the only charm of the bar.
What is good?
Firstly, no one will look down on you here - the visitors and staff are friendly, even when you are alone, you will easily start a relaxed conversation and will soon be dancing in the narrow bar-free space of the tables. Secondly, the entourage reigning in this bar-cellar creates a special mood. If you came to get drunk and have a good time, then you have chosen the right place. But it is better to have dinner in advance at home, since they practically do not feed here. Unless they let you die of hunger, a whipped up salad or noodles, carefully cooked by one of the owner's relatives / friends. So eat on the eve - and forth, drink the night away. And best of all, with virtually no consequences for your budget. If we list the best inexpensive bars in Moscow, then Under the Fly will undoubtedly be among the first.
The choice here is offered quite good, even rich, there is craft beer at nice prices. According to reviews, a few hundred will be enough for you to colorfully spend your Friday night. One thing: during peak hours, not only are there no free tables, but it will be difficult to push among the same hungry for fun.
Free bar
The name of the bar itself suggests that alcohol pours river here - a lot, budget and even varied. If America is close to you in the spirit of the 50-60s, then, without hesitation, head to this party place! Old advertisements, pin-up posters on the walls create a charming atmosphere of the time. It's simple but tasteful here. And the audience is very mottled. A sort of multi-class and rallying all with one goal (to stretch out without unnecessary troubles) is quite a budget bar. In Moscow, not only ordinary employees and students like to walk inexpensively. As the bar workers themselves say, solid personalities often drop by here. They justify their choice quite simply: the place is good, the cocktails are decent, but there is no unnecessary pathos and simulated helpfulness. That is why the tables of the "Free Bar" never gather dust without guests.
What can you treat yourself to here? Firstly, like many inexpensive bars in the center of Moscow, Free bar offers an extensive cocktail menu with various bonuses and discounts. On average, hits like Margarita, Tequila Sunrise, Pinot Colada, Daiquiri, etc., will cost you only 190 rubles per serving. Secondly, there is a really good selection of quality bourbon at affordable prices. How about premium Maker's Mark whiskey for 130 rubles? Visitors praise both alcohol and cuisine, and prices. This is the case when everything coincided. It is not surprising that there are always a lot of people here. By the way, as for the main menu, the prices are also quite pleasant. The most expensive meat dishes are probably ribeye steak (460 rubles - for Moscow the price is ridiculous). A huge portion of barbecue wings (50 pieces, taken by the company) will cost no more than a thousand rubles.
Unlike the previous two, this place is suitable not only for stormy fun, but also for a pleasant evening with a small circle of friends. Nobody will shout at you at the next table, and the music will not break your eardrums. Feel free to go to the Free bar, you will not regret it.
"Gold Vobla"
This institution stands out among all of the above with its name and concept. It is worth a look if you are looking for bars in Moscow with a dance floor. Inexpensive, lively, tasty enough and you can drink on a budget. At the same time, live music plays in the evenings, and sports matches are also broadcast! Here you can dance and have fun cheering for your favorite team (on such days in Voble it is noisy and very united), and most importantly, it's inexpensive to drink. The price tag for beer is from 140 rubles per half liter, wine - from 130 per glass, not bad, right? The assortment is wide, there is a draft, and a bottle, and a fish for a snack (the name of the bar is more than justified). The menu here is very diverse - cold, hot snacks, meat and fish dishes for every taste (from pork ribs to chicken Kiev, the price tag is up to 400-500 rubles). There is barbecue, desserts and even a children's menu.
There is also a fish day at Golden Wobble: on Thursdays you will be offered a glass of dry wine for any fish dish. And on Friday, a kilogram of crayfish - a free mug of beer. And so every day - bonus after bonus (a trifle, but nice).
The reviews indicate that another indisputable advantage of the bar-restaurant is the square. There is a lot of space, you don’t have to push around, you can fall into a big company without fear of sitting “on top of each other”. It’s infrequently met such comfortable and at the same time affordable Moscow bars with a dance floor: inexpensive, in the center (at one of the main metro stations - Kitay Gorod), with a variety of “goodies” for guests. But "Vobla" is also in other areas of Moscow - in Sokolniki, on Savelovskaya and Marxist. It is very convenient if you do not want to go to the very center.
Or maybe look into the hookah bar?
It is inexpensive and pleasant to spend time not only in the beer bar, but also in the hookah bar. Now that smoking is prohibited in cafes, restaurants and even pubs, establishments of this kind are very popular. Sitting on soft sofas, having a refreshing drink and smoking a hookah is a good alternative to hanging out at a bar. But pleasure is not cheap. Fortunately, there are good places with prices that warm the soul.
Simon's club
For example, Simon's Club is a hookah bar located on Pokrovka. Moscow (you can inexpensively relax in this city), ul. Pokrovka, 43 - its exact address. This is not just a bar, but a real club for lovers of a good hookah. Masters of their craft work here and experienced smokers hang out: they will show you everything, tell you and realize almost any of your hookah fantasies. Hookah costs from 600 rubles, and on Thursdays the action "FruitTest" is held. You can try a hookah with any combination for the price of a regular one (the main thing is to bring the right fruit with you). Here you can watch a movie, play various games with friends, and also have parties (by prior arrangement). The place is great, stop by!
Fun for the whole family
If you are a family person, you are unlikely to go to bars at the weekend. But what about without a pleasant stay outside the apartment? There is always a way out, for example, we advise you to look into the Globe Bar. Inexpensive (Moscow rarely pleases with low prices), close to the center, comfortable, fun and democratic. Rather, it is not even a bar, but an entertainment center where you can have a great time with friends and children. There is a bowling alley, and billiards, and a restaurant-bar, and even karaoke. If you are planning a celebration, then the place is also perfect for these purposes.
Prices are quite affordable, for such establishments even low. So, a cheese plate will cost you 350 rubles, and a huge portion of pork ribs - a little more than 400. A glass of beer - from 170 rubles, wine - 200. In addition, Globus holds regular events for its visitors. For example, on Friday, before five in the evening, bowling will cost only 600 rubles per hour. A good reason to leave work early. Many guests of this club-bar-restaurant become permanent, and this speaks for itself. Reviews say that it is very sincere, fun, comfortable. Parents like, especially for children (bowling lanes are often occupied by entire families). Come and you.
Or maybe at home?
If you have never liked any budget bar in Moscow, you can have a cheap and fun rest at home. This is always a good idea, and so as not to be trivial and boring, come up with your own surroundings for your home pub. For example, arrange a travel evening. On the walls are photographs from trips and pictures of overseas places, exotic cocktails in hand, and conversations from travel stories. And it will gather everyone around him a real bar-globe (floor). Inexpensive in Moscow, it can be purchased over the Internet. It is a smaller model of our planet, inside of which is a real bar. How to fill it, you decide. But this thing is really unusual and will undoubtedly please your friends.
Conclusion
Well, now you know that drinking and hanging out in the capital can be quite budgetary. We considered only some inexpensive cafe-bars, in Moscow there are much more of them. Start with our list and soon you will not notice how you learn to relax economically, but no less (and maybe more) fun. Have a great weekend!
