With all the details. I, as always, about impressions! The joke is good. If it was newcomers who came up with this, without the history of personas and the background of past projects, this banter would lose half of its charm. Agree. Moreover, realizing that this is the second place in Rubinstein from the same team. It is necessary to separate the audience or give one different impression. And yet - a long name, but every word is "for me." Anonymous - here! Society, community, “we are all gathered here today”, are united. Diligent, not fools! Tasters.

So. Rubinstein, about which everything has been said. Two doors above the arches, where the heading of the name is hiding. The central counter, as in Fiddler's Green. Around it are bar stools and a few places for food along the wall. Again, as in the sister Fiddler's Green. But this is a wine bar, unlike the "port tavern" in building 5. And a separate counter with a "strong man", on the left hand of a sober guest. Until the guest gets confused. This "shop" is open from 18.00, unlike the main hall - the one from 10 feeds and waters. Welcome.

The most sociable bartenders, they are the main people here. Bartenders, they are also diligent “slicers” of homemade (and here this already zatyukenny word blossomed with meaning) smoked meats, as well as diligent pourers of wine. They clink glasses with the guest, drinking culturally themselves: it is impossible to communicate dryly, to support the toasts of the guests. I won’t say much - for now, this is the “Bar of the Year” in the traditional Results. They are diligent cooks. By the way, three salads and four hot dishes of the compact menu are prepared in the same place, behind the bar, serving in front of you. This is more charming than a dozen videos with kittens. Chess word.

The menu is funny - in addition to "cuts" (180/100 g), there are assorted smoked meats for 350, with additives - arugula, home-made bread, olives, pickled, it seems, in a porter bag, and two mousses, where beetroot shades off meat smoke much more interesting. Fine.

The calculation, as in the older brother, that is, in front of the guest, is a “coupon”, of course, with the rules of the Anonymous Society and the bartender’s handwritten notes: drank a glass of Tempranillo for 280 - get the top stick to the X cross, or rather, the third glass. On the third visit, I even figured out the hieroglyphs. Ask to withdraw a souvenir souvenir voucher. Argument like this: "You are very good and pleasant." Water is free, it seems that there is still kvass here - motorists also need to drink kvass sometimes. It's true? And beer. Seems. Although to me people with beer behind this counter would seem strange.

Salad with dried beef, butter cream, red pepper and marinated eggplant (350) - fresh, simple, understandable. Therefore, no questions asked. Thank you in general.

Warm salad with loin, halves of cherry potatoes, tinted egg, of course, mix, pickled cucumber (350). And with mustard dressing. Potatoes, I think, should still be cooked properly - al dente for a knife is quite difficult. Other than that it's great for a bar.

Separately sausage - 150. Pleasant. I advise you to start with assorted dishes, then continue to “communicate” with the meat you like.

Let's move on to the hot: Lamb Sausage (350) juicy, tight with good minced meat, probably, this snail could have been fried a little more ruddy. Although it's so good.

This is a bar, and I don’t intend to fall into a familiar swoon because the toilet has not yet been cleaned at 14.00. Yes, bar. No one during the day - why clean up? But the photos came out okay. But superformat, really original for the city. Excellent meat delicacies, normal wine, reference contact. I am now a friend of the four shifts that I have seen. Hooray. Favorites. Now.

A wine bar, a wine bar and a butcher's shop behind the same door (previously, these walls housed the old grocery "Epic" and the hipster coffee house Mitte). Responsible for anonymous meetings and zealous libations - Andrey Klimenko and the entire The Hat Group. This brave team owns a port tavern Fiddler's Green, cocktail bar Apotheke, exemplary jazz bars The Hat in St. Petersburg and Berlin, and a couple of months ago they had a hand in the restaurant "Full Ballet". Self-proclaimed "A.D." ( reduction and at the same time analogy with AA) promises to be just as characteristic, but this is a completely new story.

Butcher shop and wine bar

Initially, the place was conceived as a deli meat shop. The team has been working on these matters for more than a year, producing 10 types of dried meat and 8 varieties of raw smoked sausage - we could evaluate the results of the work in The Hat, in friendly "Cabinet" and "Animal Farm". The Hat decided to sell takeaway meat and arrange buffets on the spot - to support the idea, they installed a U-shaped bar counter and completed a wine cabinet. According to Sid Fisher, the wines were selected according to one's own taste, personally and repeatedly drunk: “I don’t know how to describe wine with the words “light”, “thin”, “with a touch of vanilla” - for me there is a tasty wine, but there is a tasteless one, if I drank more than a bottle with pleasure and remembered the taste the next day, not because my head hurts, but with a sincere kind word - this is what you need ". Wine is poured into glasses (150 ml) for 250-350 rubles, expensive items are sold by bottles.

Diligent Drinkers

Having had a bite for decency, you can move on. Another bar counter was put together in the adjacent hall, the shelves were filled with outlandish alcohol, a neon sign Diligent Drinkers was hung on the wall and all “diligent drinkers” are invited here to try domestic buckwheat and barley moonshine, Georgian chacha and French agricole, Old Believer ratafia fruit and berry vodka. Drinks from private Russian distilleries are bottled at 150 rubles, imported and rare distillates - at 250.

The Anonymous Society of Diligent Tasters will try to be a hospitable circle of interests, without snobbery, fanaticism and inflated prices. Tasting is allowed right from 10 am. Since then, Chef Anton Osochnikov and his team will be behind the burners. The on-duty menu is not expected - depending on the mood and the contents of the refrigerator, the Society prepares a couple of salads and several hot dishes (350 rubles each). “Today there is cod, but it will be ready in 20 minutes, and now I’m frying sausages - if you want, I’ll put another one in the pan for you,” the kitchen works in this way, simple and satisfying, like at a party.

The creators of the anonymous society were Sid Fisher, Billy Novik, Andrey Klimenko and the entire The Hat Group (Fiddler's Green, Apotheke cocktail bar, The Hat jazz bar). Combining two premises (the former space of the Mitte coffee shop and the store), they created two halls, each of which works according to its own hours and rules.

The first is a sausage shop and a wine bar. Meat products are of their own production, and the owners selected the wine themselves. This is one of the ideas of this institution - its own atmosphere and comfort. You can feel it as early as 10 am. The second room is a small glass room. It will be possible to try tinctures and dozens of distillates only in the evening, when she starts her work.

The analogy with the society of psychological support ("A.A") reveals the main idea of ​​the creators - live communication. The usual paper menu is not served here, so to find out the whole range, you need to have a heart-to-heart talk with the bartender.

Everything new is well forgotten old. And I'm sorry that there is no place in the city where you can eat in peace, clearly understanding who you get food from. This is very important. You come to visit not to furniture, not to bottles, but to people. I even want to make a sign with the text: "Anonymous society of diligent tasters, deli meats and pleasant treatment." The main task is to make it very comfortable.

Interior

The bar was designed by the owners themselves. The melancholy interior of the wineshop, adorned with a single neon sign, is in contrast to the welcoming salami area, complemented by an open oak kitchen.

The almost complete absence of separate tables is striking, there are only a few of them. This place still assumes that visitors will be as open to each other as possible. Therefore, you will have to sit down at the U-shaped bar counter, and in the glass room you will have to stand in your own way at the bar with an antique glass made of art glass made in Leningrad.

Kirill Radchenko, nicknamed "The Dog", provided a huge help. A wonderful young architect - a supporter of old traditions. And that wonderful copy of Alphonse Mucha, which is painted on the wall, was made by his wife. So, we can say, a family contract.

Menu

The sausage shop is made in the Italian style: here you can not only arrange a buffet of various meat snacks, but also take home smoked sausage or home-made jerky (1,500 rubles per 1 kg). Among the wide range of snacks you can find several hot dishes. For example, fried homemade sausages with potatoes or cod fillet with green peas. But the list of dishes will vary depending on the season, products and mood of the chef. It's simple: to find out about the availability of a dish, you need to chat with chef Anton Osochnikov or someone from his team.

ratafia- a kind of alcoholic beverages, which is obtained by insisting ripe fruits and berries on 90 ° alcohol and adding sugar.

The wine-glass showroom has a large collection of strong alcohol for every taste. There are wheat, buckwheat and barley distillates, as well as fruit distillates - cherries, pears and apples. This glasshouse revives the culture of berry tinctures aged in oak barrels - ratafia on raspberries, cherries, dogwoods.

There is also imported alcohol. His collection is impressive: from Batumi grape chacha to agave mezcal and French agricole.

Prices are pleasing: domestic alcohol can be tasted for 150 rubles. per glass, some varieties (honey, buckwheat moonshine) and imported drinks are more expensive - 250 rubles per glass.

I try to concentrate on the domestic manufacturer. From my point of view, the alcoholic geography of Russia is known to us, unfortunately, less. Everyone assumes that the Russian distilling tradition is dead. This is not true. There are still enthusiasts who are passionate about their work, who rent refrigerators and go to the South for grapes. Therefore, I have magnificent samples from Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, from the Pushkin Mountains.

Menu excerpts

Meat plate - 300-1,000 rubles.

Cod fillet with potatoes and green peas - 350 rubles
