Tsypa

Top choice in The Carpathians


Astoundingly out of character with the rest of Rakhiv, this excellent, colourful, egg-themed cellar pub has some of best food in Rakhiv and incredibly good, award-winning Carpathian craft beers including light Hoverla, blonde ale and Alpine-style rauchbier (smoked beer) as well as their own kvas. Everything on the menu is available and service is pleasant.

The Tsypa brewery is based in the village of Kvasy, 15km north of Rakhiv.
