Insomnia Bar

With its unique decor (one of the rooms is Alice in Wonderland themed, with chairs glued to the walls) and an excellent drink list, Insomnia is one of Minsk's currently most attractive, stylish bars. One of its major draws is that food here is served late into the night, making it a good after-party location.

Bars & Nightlife

There’s no real part of town where you can head to just for bars alone so you need to spread your net wide. Good local beers include Krinitsa and Lidskoe, and it’s no exaggeration to say that Belarusian vodka is some of the finest in the world. Minsk offers nightlife that you are unlikely to ever forget. Planning is everything when going for a night out in Minsk, especially considering the size of the city.

Cherdak

Cherdak - translated "attic" - indeed occupies the top floor of a very centrally located building in Minsk's old town. The bar is known for its creative cocktail list and the adjacent airy rooftop terrace, immensely popular with locals in-the-know during the summer months. DJ sets and dancing have their …
