Lonely Planet review for Glavpivtorg
At the ‘central beer restaurant No 5’ every effort is made to re-create an upscale apparatchik drinking and dining experience. The Soviet fare is authentic, as is the russky crooner music (maybe too authentic for some tastes). But the three varieties of beer brewed on site are decidedly New Russia.

Fantastic place with authentic atmosphere
ubolt recommends this,
I was there first time last night with a Russian colleague who knew the place already. She described it as Stalinist style and it really gives a feeling to be in a unique place, not one of the ultra-modern and luxurious copies of western restaurants. We were on the upper floor iin the library room where you can enjoy dinner in a nice atmosphere perfect for having discussions. The choice of food is great and I ordered Kamtchatka crabs as starters (fantastic stuff, but hard work) and a specialty from there, a whole chicken on a roast pan, very good. I will certainly go there again and try out more of the menu.
