Minsk

Café entertainment in Minsk

  1. A

    Stary Mensk

    The hippest cafés are the itsy-bitsy Stary Mensk and its teeny-weeny cousin, London. They both serve coffees and fresh teas, and whip up a mean hot chocolate. In summer, Stary Mensk puts on batlejka (traditional Belarusian puppet shows) - very nationalistic, and all right across from the KGB headquarters.

    London

    The hippest cafés are the itsy-bitsy Stary Mensk and its teeny-weeny cousin, London . They both serve coffees and fresh teas, and whip up a mean hot chocolate. London has an upstairs area, but you'll have to order an alcoholic beverage to sit there.

    Karchma Stavravilenskaja

    In the Old Town along the riverfront, this café has a breezy summer terrace and a low-key interior. Its food is good, if overpriced, but it's the beer and coffee that most head here for.

    Air Grip

    By day it's a hangout for wealthy foreigners enjoying the excellent Italian espresso and gelato (the specialities here), by evening it's one of the city's premier meeting points for a younger, rowdier crowd. This place has the right attitude: to try to reduce the billows of smoke from their customers, they sometimes offer free coffee for those who actually don't smoke!
