Numerous kinds of whiskey, rum, tequila, gin, vermouth, classical and special cocktails are just a small part of what you can find here. The menu includes late breakfasts, burgers, salads and desserts, so in case you want to skip the bar part, you can visit Khorosho, vsegda at daytime: for instance, order good ol’ jam toasts with capuccino or a chicken burger. If you crave Italian, this is also your place: bruschetta with tomato salsa, parma ham and parmesan are served here too.
