This is not the first time in this restaurant. Right now we decided to share our impressions)
, Interior.
It is immediately impressive that this is not a rented space somewhere, but a detached building. And it's very impressive for a restaurant. I am pleased with the spaciousness, scope and atmosphere, designed in the style of a brasserie. The interior is high-quality, thematically thought out, comfortable and moderately saturated. There is even a personalized stand with personal beer mugs of regular customers, and a concert hall with a real stage for rock bands, and we just got to one of the performances)
, Food.
We celebrated our son's birthday on this day. There were 8 of us, so everyone ordered dishes of their choice, and we took advantage of this to try many dishes. None of the dishes were cooked normally, each dish had its own soul, its own zest, and they were all very tasty.
1. The borsch was not simple, but rich, rich, like homemade. With rich accompaniment in the form of bacon, onion, bread and garlic. Bomb borscht!
2. Steak - delicious, juicy, with grilled vegetables.
3. Vitello tonnato was made with good roast beef, the right tonnato sauce, delicious capers, and truffle mousse, which of course is not in the classic recipe, but which very interestingly adds a zest to the dish.
4. The venison goulash in the bread was delicious. But, as Masha says in the cartoon "Masha and the Bear": "It's delicious, but not enough")))
5. Pleskavica is a chopped Serbian steak. I didn't understand why Serbian, but it was delicious, juicy, and flavorful.
6. Draniki. Well, in such an institution, simple draniki for 5 rubles are not interesting to serve, so they were tuned with salmon, cheese mousse with horseradish, fried champignons and brisket. A 5-plus combination. I recommend it)
And all the other dishes were delicious too. There is no longer any place or time to dwell on them))) See just the photos)
🤵♂️ Service.
With a full landing? And a small number of waiters, coped quite timely, did not keep waiting. The kitchen was apparently working at its own pace. But I want to point out that if we talked with the waiter about having salad first, then soup, and then hotter, then you still don't need to bring the soup along with the hot one - this is incorrect (I hope it's not worth explaining why).
,Live music.
A cover band performed. Famous songs were sung. The lighting was excellent, and the restaurant was enlivened by adding a sparkle that evening) I even managed to order a birthday greeting for my son and a song) My son was delighted 😜
To summarize: the place is cool, the food is delicious! Come, hang out, enjoy!!!

We were celebrating a friend's birthday. The food is just wonderful. Own-made products have a separate Respect. The portions of the dishes are also very substantial. But the service is terrible. The waiters could not be reached, they could not wait. To ask for additional water and juices, we searched for them all over the hall. I asked to change the plate, it was just taken away and forgotten, again we were looking for someone to give us a new plate. The hosts of the banquet have the same opinion. If the establishment has such Full Houses, then it is probably necessary to expand the staff of waiters. And the dance floor is too small when there are so many visitors.

When visiting Minsk, we had lunch twice in this cafe. A fairly large, spacious restaurant - several halls for guests. I liked the service - the waiters, the administrators are tactful, attentive. We did not choose the dishes ourselves - the lunches were paid for by our sightseeing tour. I would like to mention the crispy, delicious, fragrant bread - many people bought an additional cold kvass with them. Otherwise, the dishes are edible, but they did not cause a WOW effect (salads, pancakes with meat, cold meat, rice with chicken, etc.). We were in the Fasting period, but, unfortunately, there is NO lenten menu in this restaurant. I give 4 stars for this. We ordered beer - it turned out to be more expensive than in similar establishments. I liked the interior - beautiful views from the windows, a lot of cool elements in the design.

The service and staff are 5+, nice, polite, unobtrusive - really great.
The menu is good, the selection is large. We were at the gastrofest, we were satisfied. The ale that they brew themselves is at its height.
But we won't go a second time — it's too noisy. We were at 13-14 and expected a calm atmosphere, we wanted to chat. Instead, they listened to the cheers of the animators, and then loud music that needed to be shouted over. For an amateur. For this, a minus star.

The establishment surprised with its layout. Several floors with a central stage and a dance floor on the ground floor. The menu of the beer restaurant. The sausage platter is very tasty. And in general, a good menu. The prices seemed low. So I recommend stopping by with friends

Delicious dinner, good music, great mood. The musicians have a separate respect - they lit up the dance floor! The only drawback is that there is not enough space for those who like to dance.

In general, the establishment is decent, the service is more or less. The prices are above average, to say that the portions are large is not true. The biggest disappointment is the dish "The Big dish of the brewer", for 250 rubles, worse than shish kebab than in this dish, we have not eaten yet, Uzbek, like pork neck, but oak, tasteless, does not chew, the meat is red, as if raw. To which we were answered by paprika marinade. In the end, everyone took a piece and no one ate. The rest is potatoes, beets, cabbage, sausages, sorry, everyone's consumer goods. Do not take this dish if someone chooses. The waiter took the dish to roast the meat, but they said they couldn't do anything.

I loved this place so much! 08/17/24 was once again.. but after a long break. The last time was 2 years ago. It's all wrong. Very sorry. Salad a la Caesar, sorry, nothing at all. Half of the salad is crackers. God be with him... The barbecue was brought. Delicious. It can taste better. The heating device was asked to be lit three times in 1.5 hours! Quote... We have to wait... After the third request, the random waiter completed the task. Our girl came and asked in surprise.... You 've already been lit... oh.. We don't quote my vocabulary here... Little things.. but such important ones. Everything was pre-ordered, except for alcohol. They came to an empty table. On the cake is a call from the administrator after 40 minutes ( who conditionally met us and marked us) with a question: are you going to be with us today?....
Dear friends? What happened?
And music.. 20 minutes of songs with lyrical digressions, and more than 30 minutes of break. If it weren't for the maintenance flights, maybe I would have tolerated it.
In short, think. The bagel, as always, is sooooo diverse, it's always fascinating... To observe especially,
My verdict: if you haven't been, go, you've been to different good places - think about it. There used to be an unambiguous choice. Now hmm...

My favorite place, but it's getting worse every month.
And with the last visit, there is a direct complaint to the waiters and chefs. It didn't work out from the start... After boarding, the menu arrived only 15 minutes later, and then we had to go and ask for it ourselves, outraged that the guests who came after us and sat next to us were served the menu instantly, but we were allowed through. We knew that it would take a long time to wait for a portion, due to the holidays, we made an order. The small items arrived quickly, within 30 minutes. But with a hot one, there's a huge claim. Not only did we wait 1 hour and 40 minutes for the hot stuff, but we also brought it cold, which was very disappointing for such prices.
The menu has changed a lot over the year. It used to be super delicious, but now it's just not very good, and the design of the dishes is suffering a lot.
The standard problem with bar counters at the top is that everyone will rush in there to shoot with their alcohol and no one cares that people are sitting there.
I don't think I'll come there to eat again, but I can listen to music with a little snack.
One of the advantages: a good program that managed to distract us from these jambs.

It's very strange, the place is atmospheric, the service is, in principle, normal, BUT just not tasty, and I really don't want to pay at the level of a Rakovsky Brovar or a Cook for something that is simply not tasty.
At the moment, we will leave the institution, we will visit in a year or more, maybe something will change in terms of food.
We ordered black puddings, steak, salad with rosebeef, cutlets with mashed potatoes. It feels like the cook went out somewhere.

I would especially like to mention and thank the administrator Ekaterina for her professional ability to work with guests, excellent business qualities, tact, politeness, responsible and attentive attitude to the requests of guests, quick order processing and highly qualified assistance in its formation. Communication leaves very positive impressions. Thanks !!!!!!! Success and prosperity to the whole team!!!! With gratitude, Sergey Vorobyov.

One of the things I liked was the interior. The star is for him. Everything else is just terrible! None of the 8 people sitting at our table brought warm food: everything is cold. The taste qualities do not shine. But the most annoying thing was that the waiter turned out a tray with drinks (including hot tea) on the visitor, soaking her clothes profusely. And that's 5 glasses! Only the closed cola, bonaqua and a portion of tea, which the waiter took off the tray, did not spill out! The others at the table also got it: splashes of tea and morse "decorated" their clothes. The auditor didn't even apologize!!! Not immediately after the incident, nor at the end of our lunch. The receptionist came up, silently watched the waiter wipe the table and left! In general, the words of apology are not known to the employees of the shift in which we were "lucky enough" to be served. I'm already silent about the compensation of a girl drenched from head to toe!!!

I really like this place! The portions are just huge, very tasty, the serving is beautiful. The staff is polite and courteous. The visitor is not ignored. And everything is culturally and unobtrusively. It's nice.
The prices are acceptable, not cheap but tolerable)) It's not a pity to pay for the level that the restaurant offers. I advise you to visit. You can safely bring guests from other countries here for a business lunch. I bring my business partners here to eat.
Many people will also enjoy the evening and night programs.

Excellent modern brasserie. Not exactly in the historical center, but it's worth a visit. There is a large park nearby.
Friends: this is a brasserie in the building and next to the summer BeerGarden, but only with self-service.
We visited the restaurant and were in a great mood afterwards!
Freshly brewed beer, excellent cuisine, the atmosphere of the place - everything turned out to be on top!
Well, I would like to mention the local horseradish. A very decent specimen😉

A magnificent establishment, stunning for its spaciousness and conciseness inside, as well as exquisite cooking. Large portions, beautiful serving. Live music every evening, there is a dance floor in front of the stage. Gorgeous staff, it is impossible to leave without leaving a tip. One disadvantage, which is rather not a minus: compared to the size of the dishes from the usual menu, the lunch seems negligibly small, although the size is normal. But it's delicious! I advise everyone!

A great place with delicious food and beer.
My choice was:
Pleskavitsa - 40 rubles.
Local red ale - 12 rubles.
The dish was served in 15-20 minutes and it met my expectations. Delicious meat and a large portion.
A large hall and live music, we were a company of 11 people. Everyone liked everything.

A good restaurant. The restaurant, if I understood correctly, is about food. The portions are large and huge. The food is great, especially if the meat is for you. The prices are average.
The drinks are average, there is a beer of its own brewing.
The place is popular with tourists, especially if guests come to Minsk residents.
There is a veranda, live music, dancing 30+))). It's a cool place.
The restaurant is located in a "green" area, surrounded by a park, so you can make noise.

I visited this place before the New Year, before that I was a long time ago and the impressions were good. But as they say, nothing lasts forever . I ordered a burger, it used to be very cool , but now the savings and prices have probably done their job .
There was a small one with a small dried cutlet, dry, the slicing of the filling was shocking, the onion is usually raw, but here they probably wanted to put it fried, in the end it was stewed and in addition it turned out to be half raw and half boiled , imagine the taste …
I didn't take a photo right away, but there are masterpieces of components..
And the fries were cold

Surprisingly a good place! The kitchen is delicious, the service is fast, the prices are adequate. One disadvantage in my opinion, the tables are on top of each other, the waiter serves the next table and constantly rubs against your back. Live music is quite competently arranged, which I don't like, BUT there are 30 minutes of music, 30 minutes of silence...

It's a pity that a wonderful kitchen is overshadowed by terrible service. We stopped by for lunch and tried the gastroset. After the menu was brought, a decent amount of time passed and the waiter, if I'm not mistaken, Artyom, came up to us. He started to take the order, but then his phone rang (personal, because the call was synchronized with his smartwatch), he said "wait a minute" and left to answer. After chatting on the floor above for 10 minutes, he returned and finally accepted the order. We asked how long it would take to cook and, having learned that the children's menu can be prepared for more than 20 minutes, we asked what can be prepared faster from the main menu for a child. In response, they received the phrase that this is a beer restaurant, and it has nothing to offer from the main menu (although there is plenty to choose from and the child is not small and omnivorous). We made an order. After bringing the drinks, he spilled lemonade on the table, wiped the table so that his hands stuck to it later, and the glass also turned out to be poured, sticky and dirty, and in a good way, it had to be replaced. As a result, no one has touched this lemonade. Noticing that another waiter brought coloring books to the next table, I asked Artyom to bring them to us, he left and then I only saw him either at the bar or at the counter where other waiters were sitting and, after a while, I went up to this counter and asked another waiter to bring them to us which was done. Artyom has not returned to us. The rest of the lunch was served by a girl who left a radically opposite impression about the service, but the desire to leave a tip disappeared.
Even if it's a brasserie, it's not a diner. There is always a great kitchen here, for my taste, one of the best with a simple and understandable kitchen, but it gets boring to go and wonder if you will be lucky with the waiter.

I want to leave a negative review. How many times have we been to this institution, everything has always been at a high level. But this time, something went wrong. There's a sign at the entrance to Friends that says birthday boys get a 20% discount. In the middle of the evening, we find out that she is no longer available. They promised to smooth it out with a cake, but it was canceled as a result ((
After almost all the ordered dishes arrived, they simply forgot about us for an hour. The dessert ordered after the reminder arrived in 20 minutes. The barbecue burner wasn't even lit. They asked me to pack almost a whole dish of cold shish kebab with a side dish. Upon arrival home, we found that we had only a barbecue with us, without a side dish. In general, the mood and the holiday were ruined to zero!

"Enemies" is a more appropriate name for this place!!!! The place has become disgusting, a couple of years ago we enjoyed spending time here, it was fun and comfortable. On December 21, my colleagues and I gathered at karaoke for a New Year's corporate party, the WORST corporate party in my life!!! The institution cares only about super profits, no one cares about the atmosphere, and indeed, in general, to declare that you have a New Year's SHOW program is a deception. A weak presenter who couldn't tear herself away from a piece of paper at all, 3 primitive contests and this is the whole program ((( The hall was 120% full, everyone's tables were full, the waiters regularly watched only full glasses, drunken guests were their main task and it was obvious. There was mostly a fight in the restaurant, fractures, and a call to the police, which is probably the show that is now in favor here. With a crowded room with full orders for both food and alcohol, this is not enough for Friends, and at 24:00 karaoke opened the doors to everyone, several dubious personalities appeared at the bar in their favorite state, who, like the joke about Vovochka, came to the party in all brown and the holiday came to an end (((( 2-3 times in a row We all had to listen to their premium orders. And these are mournful songs of a yard-bland theme, but no one cares, it's real money!!! We approached the manager and said, well, we all have NG, the reaction is 0. Friends are not bothered, neither the empty dance floor nor the spoiled mood of the guests, but the cash is yes, you sit and drink more, your holiday is over!!! It's a pity that our New Year's Eve corporate party was ruined, we won't go here anymore and we don't recommend it to others!!!!
