A super bar, from the smallest details to delicious cocktails!) First of all, I liked the involvement of the bartenders in the atmosphere, who were very happy to talk about the concept of the bar, as well as keep up the conversation, as if they had come to the bar with us, so Vladislav, Valery, Konstantin, Alexey, I remember you all, you are great, thank you for the atmosphere. Secondly, of course, the interior, I didn't know that watching the shining without sound would be so funny)) I highly recommend you to visit!)

As a speakeasy bar, it's not bad. Bartender tries to please your preferences. But I was surprised by the fact that the cocktail, which I did not like because it did not meet the expectations and the ingredients mentioned (by me and the bartender), was included in the price. Although they took it 3/4 full from me. Instead, a cocktail was made that was similar to what we discussed earlier. And in the end, the cherry on the cake, a guest drink was offered to my companion, nothing to me :) That's how it turns out, while the establishment is not ready for inquisitive guests who are interested in an interesting product, as well as in discovering new bars.

Its peculiarity is that it is a cocktail bar but without a menu. You say you want tastes, drinks, impressions, vision, feeling and the bartender makes you a cocktail. I don't know how much it costs, but there are a lot of emotions and tastes. I have port wine in the first, mentha Branca in the second, my wife has mint distillate. 😎👍🔥 On the screen is an American CB movie from 1961, a billiard player and Christmas melodies are also America in the background. In general, the surroundings are gorgeous. My third cocktail was "I want Santa to come in now" and it turned out. Top place.

The best bar I've ever been to, go ahead, you won't regret it) They don't have a bar card, they make cocktails based on your wishes, the prices are slightly above average, but it's worth it.💯

I didn't understand this bar a bit... as we wrote earlier, there is no menu here as such, you say your wishlist and they cook something for you based on it, as the waiter explained, they don't have any food/snacks (although they seemed to write in the reviews that they were present), there are only cocktails, maybe we were so unlucky with I was the bartender on this shift, but we didn't get this "something" at all and it wasn't at all according to our "wishlist"… The price tag also seems to me very high, for one cocktail it turns out 30 b.rub. (or more than 800 Russian rubles). For me, the only advantage was the location, in the evening, when different light bulbs are on, it's beautiful here, something like ala "new Orleans"

A cocktail bar in a very atmospheric corner. There is no menu or food/snacks in the bar, and there is no bar card. The waiters select and make a cocktail according to your stated preferences. No menu, no prices ) This surprised and intrigued me. We voiced our wishlist, but in the end they didn't quite bring it in accordance with what we asked for. Instead of a sweet fruit cocktail, there was a sour one with lemon. The second one is a regular whiskey cocktail instead of a herbal one. As a result, each cocktail cost us 30 Belarusian rubles (850 Russian rubles), which is not humane at all. And in the final bill were the names of the cocktails. I believe that they still have 10-15 varieties of cocktails, and they serve just the one that is most similar to the wishlist of visitors.

An unusual bar, with a very pleasant atmosphere and super professional bartenders. There is no menu in the bar, drinks are made based on your preferences. We liked all the drinks we tried. It can be compared in terms of entourage with El Copitas in St. Petersburg, but with less pathos. The bar is located deep in the courtyard, it is not immediately possible to find it, but it is definitely worth a visit if you are in Minsk.

It's a great place! An interesting approach to cocktails - there is no card as such - you create a cocktail based on your wishes and emotions. The staff is very friendly and attentive (special thanks for making cocktails based on ideas and dreams :)) There is an opportunity to sit separately from everyone, and to sit at a table with random people - quite an interesting experience and weaves an additional thread of atmosphere to this place.

Well, this is a chic class top. A chamber bar with two small rooms. Dim lights, beautiful interior, well-dressed bartenders, interesting visitors. The conversation will be supported at the bar, and a rare cocktail will be prepared. And without arrogance and stress. I definitely recommend you to visit one of the best bars in Minsk.

It's a very cozy bar. As many have already written, there is no menu, but there are bartenders who are ready to listen to you and mix a cocktail according to your wishes. How many times I've been, so many times they've made really cool cocktails according to my wishes. The atmosphere is pleasant, but there is not much space, be prepared that there may not be enough places. But I usually go to children's time on weekdays, and therefore there are places :)

It seems to me that this is the best bar in Minsk. The attention the bartenders pay to the guests, the atmosphere they create, and the way they choose a drink to suit their mood and taste is amazing. This place is perfect if you want to talk and enjoy a drink, but not if you want to eat, sing and dance.

I came across a bad bartender, a little overweight with a mustache. He did not specify whether I liked the cocktail or suggest that I adjust it. But the bar specializes in cocktails prepared according to your preferences. When I told him that the cocktail had failed, he said that I was the first one to say that, and that's your opinion. Guys, cocktails cost 40 rubles, and they should be delicious for the client, not for you, because you are an "awesome" bartender. Zero customer orientation, the impression is that the bartender is unsuccessful.

It's a good atmosphere. Interesting, original cocktails. But since cocktails are made at the request of the guest, it is important that the taste falls into the request. It didn't happen to me. There are also not enough bartenders for the guests. We have to wait, wave, catch.

I agree, the "Embargo Bar" really seems like a place with a special character and atmosphere. The embargo is not just an institution where you can drink. This is a place with a soul and a special atmosphere, where you can feel history, creativity, freedom, relaxation and communication. It seems that here you can escape from the hustle and bustle, enjoy good music and interesting drinks in pleasant company.💯

There is no food, BUT there are snacks that will not just let you get drunk, but will provide pleasure at the same time.. It 's actually a cool place, with a HUGE selection of everything alcoholic and non-alcoholic Excellent bartenders don't kill with tons of cocktails.. They just get in the way of something that blows the roof off .. and so imperceptibly that then you find yourself a stalemate

An incomparable bar. The atmosphere, the service, a very unusual approach to the creation of drinks, bother about the history and branding. The presentation is simple, but I was very inspired by the story about the choice of dishes and the attitude towards it. All glasses and glasses are collected all over the country in retro stores and bought from collectors. Each glass, if it is cracked, is not thrown away, but carefully polished according to the ancient Japanese technique of restoring dishes. Therefore, do not be surprised by uneven edges)) A light fragrant goose liver pate with toasts can be offered for a cocktail, the pate is tender, slightly sweet, the portion is enough for two. Since I appreciate the author's cocktails with a sour-sweet taste, fruits or berries, my favorite is the summer concentrate, every sip of which is soaked in warmth, the aroma of summer herbs and flowers, the name is Lipen, served with rowan leaf without ice. Of the cocktails of the "fourth element" series created specifically for the competition, the Fire was very impressive. This unusual aromatic tequila-based drink has a tart aroma, bittersweet taste and aroma of Palo Santo wood, a small piece of this fragrant wood is set on fire right on ice. For girls, I would recommend paying attention to the Choleric cocktail, its aroma is much simpler and sweeter than the taste, the main notes are coconut, mint, basil, prepared on the basis of vermouth. Do not be afraid of the coconut in the composition, in this cocktail it is light, fragrant, complementing other elements, and not interrupting them. For those who like it hot, it is worth appreciating Maui, it is a bright nectar with a combination of the freshness of pomegranate and lime and the taste is complemented by a small amount of tabasco and aromatic spices. For those who would like to plunge into the southern countries, try Saturn, this sour cocktail with bright notes of passion fruit is surprisingly complemented by the sweet taste of almonds. As a conclusion, this bar is definitely recommended for those who are ready to devote their time to diving into the wonderful world of new combinations and trust the bartender.

This was the last place we had a chance to visit during our stay in Minsk. Unfortunately, unlike other places, we left disappointed. I am always sympathetic to literally any jambs, but I do not want to make exceptions here. No one greets guests at the entrance for quite a long time, so the guests turn around and leave, while the waiters themselves can stick to the phone in the middle of the hall, the drinks are quite mediocre for an institution specializing in cocktails. But the cherry on the cake was that we were literally kicked out without offering alternatives. Maybe I'll give the bar a second chance, but I definitely won't recommend it to my friends. High marks seem unreasonable. I wish the bar to work on growth areas and raise the level of service, there is definitely potential.

I left this bar in five minutes. We came with a young man to the bar that had been recommended to us before, they said that it was the best bar in the city, so my choice of place for my birthday was on it. I had booked a table in advance, and I was looking forward to a pleasant evening that I would remember for a long time in a positive way on a special day. Everyone was friendly on the phone, but no one even met us when we entered the bar. Just a glance from Bartmender, who called out to us only after we entered, asking, "What do you want, young people?". Is banal politeness not your thing? The young man sat us down at a table and left. we came to Minsk for a vacation for the first time, we went to the Embargo for the first time, we didn't know how everything was arranged and set up here. from my experience, I know that waiters usually warn that they have some other concept, for example, there is no menu and explain immediately how it works. Bartmender came over anyway, and I asked about the menu, but the young man just gave me a dumbfounded look, as if I should have known about it. Well, he explained everything, told me. I have indicated the amount, but I cannot say anything about its justification. The young man and I talked about our wishes. Bartmender took everything into account and asked for a passport, everything would be fine, it's fine. We reached for our documents, and I heard, "To confirm your 21st birthday." I didn't understand at first, I thought maybe I didn't hear it. I ask again: "since the age of 21? why didn't you say so right away?", to which the answer was: "Did you ask?". Were the Bartmenders taught to talk arrogantly and rudely? You know, if you have a different policy in a bar, you need to be warned about it right away, because alcohol has been sold in the Republic of Belarus since the age of 18. We just have to warn you about this. to which he simply replied sarcastically: "Thank you, we will take this into account." After that, I double-checked your social media, website, and there was no "21+" designation anywhere. I'll attach the photos. We were completely dissatisfied, we don't even want to give a second chance. I was really hoping for a pleasant time in this particular bar. polite service for bartenders is also worth teaching. it is also worth introducing yourself, because Bartmender's name is still unknown, I only remember from his appearance that the young man was wearing glasses and spoke very unprofessionally. I really wanted to try the signature cocktails that we have already ordered, but I don't think it's from you.

I was delighted with this place. There is no menu in the bar, the bartender suggested that I tell him my favorite cocktails and wishes. After that, he created a variation on the pornstar martini, I really liked it. There were also several snacks to choose from. I really liked the bar itself, the interior is unusual, everything is in semi-darkness. The staff is polite and friendly. The music is pleasant, unobtrusive, and allows you to talk calmly.
