BigRib
Eat your meaty heart out
BigRib is a paradise for people who love meat and the only place in town specializing in ribs: beef, pork, lamb and veal prepared on the grill, bbq, stewed or smoked to perfection. If you fancy a burger or a rib-eye steak, you can get it, too. The restaurant is decorated like a late 19th century American town and has a proactive staff that gives you just the right amount of attention.

Bryus Bar
Vintage-inspired cocktail bar
Walk through an unmarked doorway to enter this retro cocktail den. While Bryus bar has a core drinks menu, the expert mixologists will happily create something bespoke. Hundreds of whisky bottles line the walls, and while seating is scarce, there is a cozy anteroom offering more intimate tables. Order an Old Fashioned, perch at the bar and pretend you're an extra from Mad Men.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
