LiBEERti is an Irish pub in the very heart of Kaliningrad. With its cosy interior, eight TV screens, wide selection of beers and cocktails, and tasty food, you can’t go wrong with watching the World Cup at LiBEERti .

5. Khmel

Budget restaurant Khmel is located in the city centre. Offering some 200 seats, two big projector screens and eight smaller ones, this spot also brews its own beer. Khmel is the perfect place to spend an evening.

6. Pirate House
