7 Best Bars in Moscow

“I loved this place! Let me preface by saying that my husband is a chef, and I have lots of experience in the industry. We are both adventurous eaters and pretty accomplished in the kitchen. I say this because it makes us pretty tough judges of restaurants. Too many restaurants in our area are style over substance, and we know when we are being nickle and dimed. Example, date night out at an unnamed “high end” restaurant and my side of “seasonal vegetables’ was onions and kale tossed into croutons. The croutons were over salted, made from the restaurant’s old bread, and not even moistened correctly so that some of the croutons were rock hard in the middle. Basically, I got a dish made from the cheapest ingredients that wasn’t even made well. My husband got the same side dish and was disgusted. It was a 40$ plate and our total bill was over 200. The food at Countrymen’s Bierhall was unpretentious but well prepared. And while it wasn’t pretentious, there were delicious creative twists. The goat cheese in the potato fritters added a very subtle flavor and a lovely creamy texture to what might have been a run of the mill fried potato dish. The tart apple in the slaw on my rueben was a happy surprise that elevated an already delicious sandwich. Very nice beer selection too. Our service was flawless and friendly without being intrusive, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. The appetizer was really a dish that you could share and still get more than two bites. I also enjoyed the music, but I understand that is very subjective. Just glad I wasn’t subjected to bad electronic music or yacht rock. Johnny cash, the black keys, outlaw country! Absolutely nailed it!“

“If you don't mind being crowded, at least during the school year, then you will almost always have good scenery,at least after 10pm. On event weekends during the school year, the place gets really crowded and you may have to wait to get inside, unless you get here early.“

“Great atmosphere, free pool and the best karaoke west of the Appalachian Mountains. You are guaranteed to have a great time. Go Vandals!“

“Doug and Hayley were spectacular hosts. I am blown away by the detail of the remodel. Truly inspirational. The cocktails were so creative and delicious. I had the Cowboy in Cabo and could taste every ingredient when I concentrated. I stole a menu to teach my students what can be done with hard work and passion.
Cheers!“

“I originally had a bad experience here and felt embarrassed during karaoke. But the manager, Sarah, personally reached out afterward, which I really appreciated. I’m still feeling hesitant about coming back, but I want to acknowledge that they cared enough to follow up. Thank you, Sarah.

The drinks and bartenders were good, but this experience really hurt. I wish the karaoke process was communicated more clearly so people don’t feel singled out or embarrassed. It made an already rough night even harder.

I hope others have a better experience.“

“Cold drinks!! Always have a great time!!“

“Such an amazing experience tonight at Gambino’s. The service was top notch and the food was delectable. We started with arancinis and fried mozzarella. Both were delightful. The arancinis are a must try! Amazing flavor and a crunchy outer shell. For entrées we ordered the Wrigley pizza and the balsamic chicken salad. The Wrigley was perfect, tons of toppings and thin crunchy crust. The salad was tangy and fresh and a generous portion size. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks, Gambino’s crew for a great date night.“
