Top Craft Beer Spots You'll Find Only In Moscow

Modern-day Moscow’s craft beer scene can be found at various bars, pubs and cafes throughout the city centre. There is a wealth of beer spots in Moscow, where visitors can spend their evenings; however, we found seven craft beer bars that are a step above the rest.

1. Beermarket

Bar, Pub Grub

Beermarket shop and bar, located in Moscow’s Tverskoy District, is truly one of the most popular spots among locals, who love good beer, nice company and football. Here you can try craft beer from all over the world, from classic Belgian to newly crafted Australian. This place is usually full, so we highly recommend booking a table in advance, especially during match days.

2. HopHead Craft Beer Pub

Pub, Russian

Located in a residential area of Moscow, this pub is undoubtedly a leader among local craft beer venues and hidden gems in Moscow. HopHead has a wide variety of local and imported beers offered daily, plus extraordinary local beer snacks, juicy burgers, British fish and chips and more.

3. The Tipsy Craft Beer Pub Moscow

Bar, Pub, European, Irish

This essential local craft beer pub is located in a quiet, central neighbourhood in Moscow. Here you can try different draught beers imported from the EU, Australia and the U.S. We highly recommend visiting between Tuesday and Friday. It’s usually full of local football fans, so be ready for a crowd.

5. Haggis Pub & Kitchen

Gastropub, Pub, Restaurant, Russian, British, Beer

This classic gastropub offers a vast choice of imported and local craft beers along with the best menu options and Russian savoury snacks. You’ll definitely want to try as many items as possible. Get yourself some beer, soup and Russian selyodka for an even better experience, and enjoy a football game during the World Cup 2018.

6. Sosna & Lipa Bar

Bar, Pub Grub, Russian

One of the most favourite bars and craft beer boutiques among Russians is located right in the heart of Moscow. Various drinks from local and European breweries are served at Sosna & Lipa Bar. Prices are more than affordable, and there’s always a place for those who prefer a real beer experience abroad.

7. Zotman Pizza Pie

This spot reminds its visitors of the true spirit of Brooklyn-based craft beer bars and cafes. Many American and local craft beers are offered here daily. Book yourself a table and have yourself an incredible experience.
