Michael Collins pub

Michael Collins pub brings a slice of Dublin to the heart of Moscow, just steps from Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Named after the Irish revolutionary leader, the pub is a favorite among expats, students, and Russians who appreciate a good pint of Guinness. The interior is all dark wood, stained glass, and vintage Irish memorabilia, shamrocks, old photos, and a long bar where bartenders pour perfect pints. The menu offers classic pub fare: fish and chips, shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, and burgers, alongside Russian favorites like pelmeni. There are multiple rooms, including a quieter back area with sofas and a front section with high tables near large windows. Live sports are shown on big screens, especially rugby and football. On weekends, live Irish folk music or acoustic sets fill the space with a cheerful din. What makes Michael Collins distinctive is its genuine Irish hospitality in a Moscow setting, the staff are friendly, the beer is well-kept, and the atmosphere is consistently convivial. It's a reliable spot for a hearty meal and a proper pint, away from the city's more touristy venues.

A bit of history

Michael Collins pub opened in the early 2000s as part of a wave of Irish pubs in Moscow. It takes its name from the Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins (1890–1922). The pub has since become a staple of the expat community and a popular meeting point near the Tsvetnoy market.
