The story behind the new Kyiv venue is painfully and universally recognizable: one of the bar’s creators who spent his days in the office found himself sitting on the Obolon Quay, thinking “I’m f#cking done with all this. Maybe I should go to a bar?” That’s how the title and concept of the Za#balo were created — simple as that (I’m f#cking done - is the meaning of the bar name).

The owners call it “the first bar-therapist” both for the visitors and staff. Za#balo is a strict no-judging zone, where visitors can share their hardships with a compassionate bartender, and maybe lend an ear in return.
Sure enough, such a concept is hard to imagine without a broad menu: 8 classic cocktails and 10 specials with unique names that contain Ukrainian puns will serve as a good call to upgrade the language skills. Those who hit an especially rough patch might be interested in cocktail sets with speaking titles: “Last night was a mistake”, “Let’s stay friends”, “Dear God, I’m so… done”.
The food is mostly concentrated on burgers, served with fries and sauce. Up to date, guests have a choice of chicken, beef, and salmon. The owners plan to add salads in the menu soon.

Moreover, 20+ cocktails and a bartender that will listen to you venting about hardships are hard to pass by. Let’s check it all out.
