Restaurants reviews

In continuation of the inexhaustible "beer" theme would like to remind you dear friends some familiar institutions, as well as tell about the foam novelties. Regarding the latter, then every year in the capital there are more and more such establishments. Moreover, to the delight of the consumer quality of beer restaurants more pleasing, less frustrating, providing a full range of catering services and entertainment is quite a serious level.

Irish pub "O'Connor's" (St. Horeb, 15 / 8)
Have not visited theesatblishments, where even minus goes to plus. For example the location of "O'Connor's". Of course, Podil - historical center of Kiev, cultural heritage, etc., but whatever one may say in this part of the capital is difficult to keep the restaurant business. And if the street Sagaidachnogo is a good place, than places apart Kontraktova square is inaccessible place. Attendance and financial results, respectively. Fortunately it did not affect "O'Connor's". In the halls of good-quality pub in the evening is going to a huge number of guests. The oak bar, the ideal masonry, designer vintage items, proper lighting, English-speaking staff and very clean common areas (very rare, especially in pubs). Even the basement does not spoil the overall good impression, rather, like to think that way and be designed all the Irish pubs. In "O'Connor's" ruleы the Irish spirit and feeling of security. And it's worth it. Further - more, guests feel themselves not only comfortable here, but also they have high-quality beverages and original cuisine.

But let us go back to earth, namely to the dishes presented in the menu and wine list, then to your attention - a good selection of traditional Irish beer and whiskey, is fundamentally supported by a hearty and delicious meal. I propose you to try "Cheeseburger" (119 hrn), baked with cheese brand burgers (pork beef), tomatoes, pickles, lettuce and onion rings with French fries and ketchup. To this "holiday of tummy" be sure to order a glass of dark, "Murphy" (0.55 / 50 hrn) or "Edinger" (0.5/44 hrn). Also, treat yourself with a juicy steak "Cork" (129 hrn), grilled and garnished with fried onions, bacon and potatoes, or "Shepherd's Pie" (79 hrn), in which minced lamb, onions and carrots stewed in own juice perfectly with mashed potatoes . In a duet with "Newcastle Brown Al" (0.5/52 hrn) - it's just a miracle. But for those who adhere to the authentic Irish tradition and therefore only drink in pubs, as they say work is not an opened edge: Irish whiskey "Tyulamor Du" (50ml/42grn), "Saint Patrick" (50ml/33grn), "Black Bush De Lux "(50ml/50 hrn) and of course, Irish beer," Harp "(0.55 / 50 hrn). And still, "O'Connor's" will offer you affordable "Business Lunch", a hearty "European Breakfast" (79 hrn) (fried eggs, mushrooms, tomato, bacon, toast and sausage with potatoes or beans) and "Happy Hours" from 17.00 to 19.00 (20%). For entertainment, of course - performing "live" bands and watching sports events with multiple screens LCD panels. On the poster are available on the official website of "O'Connor's". Enjoy your stay!

«Golden Gate Pub» (st. Zolotovorotskaya 15)
«Golden Gate Pub» can be attributed to that rare category of institutions that can boast the longevity and stability. Moreover, this stability is evident in everything from interior design to entertainment. Like ten years ago in a restaurant cheerfully, crowded and noisy. Like ten years ago in «Golden Gate Pub» one of the best beer offerings. Like ten years ago, guests of institution foreigners who feel in «Golden Gate Pub» by several times better than at home. And ten years ago, with each visit to the new facility opens, and almost always positive. Today, in the upper hall facilities can not just "eat and drink," but also to fight in darts or billiards. The atmosphere is very possession. Well, in the lower hall at your service themed party music and always current views of sports programs.

As for the assortment of beer, I counted twenty-one position. This is a draft beer. Here and familiar Czech "Budweiser" (0.5 l/43 hrn), a delicious Belgian "Hoegaarden" (0.5 l/43 hrn), the status Irish "Guinness" (0.5 / 43 hrn) and domestic "Lviv Premium" (0.5 l/43 hrn). Under a list of alcoholic beverages - food. For large companies «Golden Gate Pub» recommends: "Grill Mix" (297 hrn) - an impressive plate of deli meats: steaks, chops, several kinds of sausage, stuffed chicken, roast ham with apple sauce, ketchup and mustard, or "mix of hot appetizers "(235 hrn) - calamari, stuffed mushrooms, brewer's rings, potato skins, chicken wings, cheese sticks with tartar sauce and mustard. For individual meal take "Celtic Steak Torpedo" (115 grn/450 g) - juicy slices of grilled steak, tomatoes, cucumbers in a crisp bun will not leave you indifferent. Of course in the menu «Golden Gate Pub» and there are salads and desserts, but in my opinion "to chew the grass," or feast "cream caramel" in the pub just blasphemy. Staff, oddly enough, always in good spirits, contact with the guests arranged. Therefore, the case for small, to visit and get a lot of positive emotions!

Pub "U stanka" (street Zhilyans'ka 97)
To be honest, institutions like the pub "U stanka" just surppises me. Long and well-hackneyed "proletarian" theme with pennants and cheap posters , expensive interior details and issued to the surface under the guise of post-modern eclecticism is very annoying. Rather, a conceptual solution was devised and implemented for future visitors to the capital, crowds are expected in the near future. The only thing forgotten by "openers" that enchanting design ideas and press releases are not enough to attract guests. High-quality food and professional staff - is a guarantee of true success of any institution. And if with the first pub is in the handle, then the service of "U stanka" a disaster. Everyone is busy with own important things that do not interfere with your desire to sit with a clean table. Apparently this is the "proletarian" concept.

As for the "bourgeois", the menu is composed of twenty-five Belgian beers, German and Ukrainian manufacturers. Price per pint of domestic products somewhere around 20 hryvnia (Chernigov light), the Belgian is more expensive, for example, a glass of light "Dyuvel" be ready to pay 51 hrn for 0.33 liters. Of course represented in the menu is worth paying attention to the "Pilaf with veal from the workers of Samarkand" (67 hrn), "Pike perch with vegetables" (162 USD), and "casserole of spinach with salmon" (58 hrn). Also, for fans of the classics on the menu is crabs - 650 hryvnia per kilo. In the evenings, in "U stanka" works pretty decent music bands and broadcast sports matches.

Pub «GastroRock» (st. Vozdvizhenski 10B)
"We will never serve pizza and sushi!" - is written on the motto of the new pub in Vozdvizhenka. For the author, the new man in the restaurant business (Dima Borisov, a bar, "BarSuk") statement bold, but thank goodness, judging by the result is not presumptuous. In any case, democratic approach (want to smoke - smoke,with the animals - no problem) and won the Western European market, the concept of 'Gastropub' - a combination of classic pub and restaurant with author's cuisine, in my opinion is very topical for Kiev.

Interior self-contained. The main hall «GastroRock» is divided into areas with leather sofas for large companies and tables for two. In a small area housed a rational and functional and a place for musicians, and plasma, and even an open kitchen. A cuisine is delicious, aesthetically pleasing dishes are not cheap.

High quality products, the emphasis is on authenticity, seasonality, and environmental friendliness. Demand dictates supply. In the absence of a lot of time in «GastroRock» you can just eat. More than appropriate "Brusketta and tuna salad Romaine" (49 hrn), " Brusketta with caramelized onions and soft cheese (39 hrn) or the wonderful " Warm salad of marinated beef, fresh tomatoes and aubergines "(75 hrn). Also "Aysbayn (shin) with sauerkraut, pickled tomatoes and cucumbers, Dijon mustard and toasted" (1500 g/167 hrn), "The turkey confit with sweet wheat porridge and cream sauce" ( 600g/99 hrn), "Curry with marine reptiles and rice" (300g/87 hrn) or the "Pound of sausages of pork and beef with cucumber, mashed potatoes, braised cabbage and Dijon mustard " (500g/79 hrn). Portions are large.

As for the beer supply, the most important advantage of this drink in «GastroRock» is its freshness. The range is small, but in my opinion no one complains. "Blanche" (35 grn/0.33), "DAB light" (19grn/0.33), "Belheven Stout" (23 grn/0.33) flow like water here. And in «GastroRock» and there never will be karaoke, but in the presence of Rock Band and says it all.

Restaurant-pub «DAKOTA» (Heroes of Stalingrad Str 14g)
«DAKOTA» looks and feels more like saloon than a pub. In confirmation of this design decision that reflects the world of gold and vestmen, as well as the menu is well seasoned with representatives of American and Latin American cuisines. Since the construction of the second floor has more space and air, though fully-evening visitors usually do not have either one or the other. The air conditioning system could be better. As for the atmosphere, in «DAKOTA» is quite comfortable and fun. I know of few cases where the "local by-passing contingent" in the literal sense behaved cowboy, but who do not happen. These unpleasant situation little impact on traffic facilities, but rather on the quality of visitors. Well as they say, all the oligarchs are not enough!

The menu has interesting dishes worthy of our attention. I recommend to try a spicy "Chili con carne" (115 grn) from the Latin American section of the menu, "Pig Burger" with bacon, pickles, tomatoes, fried mushrooms with sauce "Tar-tar" from the American, Steak, "New York" (128 UAH ) with mustard sauce and "Calf's liver on a skewer" (75 grn) from the grill offers. In the chart you can enjoy drinks unfiltered "Paulayner" (25 grn / 0.33 L), a slight "Carlsberg" (15grn / 0.33 L) or the "Baltika № 7." Connoisseurs of single malts can savor "Balbleir 1997 vintage" (90grn/50ml) or twelve "Old Paltni" (60grn/50ml). Log on to the party «DAKOTA» free or paid, depending upon the need for speakers. On a weekly music program can be found on the official website of institution. In my opinion a good place for leisure activities with friends.

P.S.
Summarizing all the above, I would like to add just one thing: "When we want - we can ". And remember, start drinking beer in decent places and no one is ever too late. Good mood and then, of course, will be ...
