Dog's nose — Restaurant in Владимирский округ

One night, under a shroud of Russian melancholy, I found myself nestled in the armpit of a cultural colossus, Saint Petersburg. There I discovered a joint called the Dog's Nose Bar. A place small, both in pretension and footprint, hunched like a sleeping hound in an alleyway's embrace.

Its charm resided in simplicity, like a haiku of alcohol. Its canvas was splashed not with the gaudy trappings of the nouveau riche but painted with the earthy hues of life, lived rough around the edges. It was no palace, no grand stage for the cultured elite, but a haven for the everyman and woman to huddle, find solace and perhaps, even a sliver of camaraderie.

The beer was a symphony of honesty, their local lager, a liquid testament to simplicity, was as clear as the eyes of an old friend and as comforting as a well-worn coat. This Local Lager, bereft of craft-brewer's narcissism, sang the sweet ballad of barley and hops like a drunk bard on a full moon night.

Then, the jerky. Oh, the jerky. A rough-cut marinated sonnet, it was a salty kiss of life that danced a fiery tango on the tongue. Paired with the lager, it created an indelible tableau of flavors, like an Edward Hopper painting come alive.

The Dog's Nose Bar, in its cluttered charm, stripped-down authenticity, and unpretentious appeal, stands as a sublime refuge in the sprawling metropolis. It's as if Bukowski himself had doodled its blueprint, with a beer-soaked napkin and a charcoal stick, an ode to simple pleasures and...

This was my favorite bar in Saint Petersburg! The staff was very friendly and were very welcoming to tourists. We had a very good time watching soccer and drinking while making friends with the local crowd. The interior is cozy and the large windows that open up to the street make it a very cool place...

Друзья пригласили в Питер за пару дней до чемпионата, чтобы можно было нормально потусить вечером, потом просто мест не было бы ни в одном заведении. Так как все любители пива, то поехали в их любимый Dog's nose pub на Разъезжую, 11. Я не была в таких заведениях, думала шум, куча пьяных , не сможем пообщаться нормально. Удивил паб, небольшое, аккуратное заведение, приятные бармены, два зала. Ребята взяли по Berliner Kindle, я солянки поела, очень достойно даже, и...
