The Best Modern Bars In The Sochi Area

There was a time when the term ‘Sochi-style’ meant something so specific even locals weren’t really sure what it meant. But now that the World Cup is finally coming to Russia, the home-grown bar scene has been increasing in popularity and spreading its warmth across the city. Surely we cannot include all the options available to visitors; however, if you’re looking for places to imbibe in style and comfort, we’ve made this list for you.

It’s all in the details here at Cocos (coconut in Russian), from tiny, cut-crystal glasses complimenting your vodka experience to the outstanding table service to the best Negroni and snacks in the town.
