Дом, В Котором / PUB (The House We Live In) is a bar in central Moscow that feels like stepping into a Soviet-era communal apartment. Located on Pokrovka Street, the bar is named after a popular Russian novel and TV series. The interior is a maze of small rooms filled with mismatched furniture, vintage lamps, bookshelves, and retro knick-knacks. Each room has its own character, from a cozy living room with a fireplace to a kitchen-style area. The bar serves a wide selection of craft beers, ciders, and classic cocktails. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, attracting a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate the nostalgic vibe. Live music and themed events are occasionally held. It's a place to unwind, explore the quirky decor, and strike up conversations with fellow patrons.
