Olkhof: beer bliss |
“Not another beer restaurant,” you may well say, as the number of Moscow’s beer-flavored dining establishments grows by one with the addition of Olkhof. But this new pivnoi restoran is not your usual Oktoberfesty alehouse— rather, Olkhof has a refreshingly bright basement interior, with plenty of pine, comfy couches, plasma TVs and wide-open spaces. Although Germany is well represented among Olkhof’s 16 different draught brews, Olkhof avoids a lederhosen-and-dirndl dress code for its staff, instead attiring them in what could pass for 1920s workers’ overalls and floppy caps. The menu offers a wide range of European dishes and a surprisingly good wine list to boot. Beer-lovers are advised to try the tasters — your choice of eight beers in 200-milliliter glasses for 430 rubles, or 10 beers in 100-milliliter glasses for 270 rubles.
