Hey everyone!
June 14th is the opening day of 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Numerous foreigners will flood Moscow so I’ve decided to create a Top-10 list of places where you can drink beer and watch some good ol’ football. It includes 5 British pubs with classical beer and 5 craft beer bars for those who are ready to experiment. All bars are located in the city center, easy to find and with plenty of seats and screens.
1) Connolly station pub @connollypub
Stoleshnikov pereulok 8
The best British pub in Moscow. Plenty of space and TVs, beautiful interior, delicious food
2) Tap & Barrel Pub Moscow @tbpub
Bolshaya Dmitrovka 13
Connolly station’s neighbor located the basement of an 19th century mansion. It’s pretty similar to Connoly, but a bit smaller in terms of space and a bit bigger in terms of prices
3) Liga Pap @ligapap
Bol'shaya Lubyanka 24/15
and
Liga Pap New Arena
Krasnoproletarskaya 16
The two best spots for watching football with a LOT of screens, tables placed as tribunes, decent food, with only one downside – there’s not that much beer to choose from compared to other bars.
4) Scotland Yard @pubscotlandyard
Petrovka 34
Classic English pub with a bunch of screens and a good selection of beer.
5) O'Connel's Pub @oconnellsmoscow
Pokrovka 18/18
See Scotland Yard.
6) Crafter @crafter_bar
Mal. Palashevsky 6
A bar with burgers and two large TVs
7) Craft & Draft Taganka @craft_draft_taganka
1 Goncharnyy 3 building 3
and
Craft & Draft Arbat
Arbat 6/2
Plenty of space, a projector and a great selection of beer and food in both locations
8) Parka @parkabar
Pyatnitskaya 22 building 1
Two floors with two counters and TVs all around. Food is mostly snacks but beer is great.
9) PivBar @pivbarmoscow
1 Tverskaya-Yamskaya 2 building 1
A great craft bar with delicious hot dogs
10) And finally, three small places, that all deserve an honorable mention:
Beer Gik @b33rgik
Myasnitskaya 22/2 building 1
Beermarket @beermarketmoscow
Strastnoy Blvd 4 building 2
Pig and Mouse @pigandmousebar
Maroseyka 9/2 building 8
