Entertainment in Southern Buryatiya & Chita

  1. A

    Mir Igry

    This casino complex has three great bar-restaurants (meals R100 to R400), each with its own theme and atmosphere. It’s popular with young professionals and a great place to strike up conversations over a shot of vodka or 10. The large beer and shashlyk terrace is the place to eat on sultry summer evenings.

    Kofeynya Shokolad

    Remarkably suave for the surroundings, this minicafé makes the best macchiato in town and serves 11 types of latte. It’s built into the front terrace of the Buryat National Theatre building and uniquely enjoys simultaneous views of Ulan-Ude’s two finest churches.

    Kakadu

    Smoky, upbeat basement pub with a very nominal Mexican theme. Entry is from a side alley opposite the less-appealing Dauriya bar.

    Guarded by a hook-handed pirate, this nautically themed pub-restaurant is entered down a stairway from ul Zhuraleva.

    Kofeynya Kofe Moll

    Occupying half of a hotel lobby, it’s the only place in town offering true solace to disciples of the bean.

    This discordant glass and yellow-concrete monstrosity is Chita’s top disco and bowling alley.
