Zhiguli Brewery

Top choice in Volga Region


Samara's own Zhiguli Brewery, 2km north of the centre along the embankment, offers a couple of diverse drinking options. Most popular on a warm day is to bring an empty plastic water bottle and fill it from a small shop inside the brewery and then walk along the river. You can also purchase smoked and salted fish to eat as a snack.

There's also a pub in same complex, where you can order by the glass as well as enjoy simple pub food.
