St.Petersburg fine: Craft beer - Draft beer, and Georgian Food

St.Petersburg rocks.

I just visited St.Petersburg. As I every year do...Once or more...Short or little bit longer...

I find, St.Petersburg is an interesting metropole and only 3,5 hours by train from Finland, Helsinki.

 And open all day and night long...

 I heard and it seems cervezas artesananales or craft beers are kind of in mode in St.Petersburg at the moment too. May be so or not. Anyway...I found one very nice bar selling craft&draft beers as they call it...

It means "Mom - I did not drink" or "Mom - I am not drunk yet". Go there. It is on "Ulitsa/Street Pestelya". By the way, thanks for the nice talks to the one of the owners of the bar!
 .....

 One year later...The bar above has disapperead. I found though in the street nearby another craft beer local!

 

And a very nice restaurant. The cabbage pie was such deleicious....!!!!

 .....

The other day I visited a Georgian restaurant. As I almost every time I visit St.Petersburg do...Georgian food is very good. I visited a Georgian restaurant who the locals said is a new one and up to that very good. "Hatschapuri" on "Pereulok/Alley Mayakovskogo". Some hundred meters from the bars and restuarant above.

In the Georgian restaurant you mus take Georgian pelmenis called "Khinkalis" and Hartcho soup. And the famous Georgian wine, of course. I allways do. Ay-ay how delicious!

The song became globally popular (or at least in Japan) through Japan animation...

And till the end something very-very interesting.
