Nice place as for big company same for family. Good choice of drinks including draft beer. Evening parties with bbq and really interesting and fanny actions. Strongly recommended.
I recently visited the restaurant "Friends" and was impressed! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cozy and friendly, which makes it a great place to meet friends or have a family dinner. The interior is stylish, with a thoughtful design that creates a comfortable mood.
The menu is varied and offers both traditional dishes and interesting author's positions. We tried several appetizers, main courses and desserts — everything was very tasty! I was especially pleased with the seafood and steak — they were perfectly cooked. The service is also at the highest level: the waiters are polite, attentive and always ready to help with the choice.
The prices are reasonable for such quality. The only thing is, it can be noisy during rush hours, but this is natural for popular places.
In general, Friends is a great place to have a good time with delicious food and good service. I will definitely come back here again! I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a cozy restaurant in Minsk!
A great bar at the local brewery. Several levels of halls, a bar, a stage and live music. There is a small museum at the brewery, where they also sell souvenirs. There are more than enough beers to choose from, the eyes will not run away from the names)) everything is delicious, there is an opportunity to try everything with tasting glasses, and for beer lovers, when ordering a whole liter (mug), a 10-bel discount.rubles (it was in May 2024, I don't know how now) I liked everything we tried for snacks. From the Russian sets and snacks that are offered in bars, it differs very much for the better.
The place is certainly cool, pretentious. The cuisine is very tasty, it's expensive, but it's worth it. Beautiful original setting. A great place to have a good time with friends. However, the beer was a little disappointing. It's sour and it looks carbonated. You need to be careful with him. Good live music, but not enough space on the dance floor for so many visitors. There are also problems with paying by card. I had to go to an ATM and withdraw cash. But overall a good place. I recommend
A great, atmospheric place
We really liked absolutely everything, all the guests were very satisfied
The institution itself is very large, with three floors, there is an elevator for the convenience of guests, very beautiful, a lot of guests (which indicates that the institution is in demand) it was interesting to see that there are women's tights on sale, it was nice to realize that they take care of the guests here to the smallest detail)) great live music , dancing and having fun , it seems to me all the guests of the restaurant
We had a table on the 3rd floor, it was perfect, the table was kind of isolated, we didn't bother anyone, and no one bothered us , there was a TV right above our table where live music was broadcast, you could watch without leaving, or go down to the dance floor, the music didn't interfere with talking in any way
There is a good photographer, it turned out great shots, thank you)
The kitchen is gorgeous, everything is very tasty, fresh, large portions, (the pate conquered everyone)))))
And of course, the best thing that can be is the staff, the staff is perfect, completely customer-oriented, tuned only to positive emotions
Special thanks to the administrator Ekaterina, the kindest-hearted girl, initially when booking the table, Ekaterina greeted us so cordially, sincerely with a sincere smile, helped with the preparation of the menu, with the choice of a drink, answered all our questions (this is very important when you are greeted so sincerely that you immediately want to stay, because the first impression is very important) On the day of our event, Ekaterina also repeatedly asked how we were doing, and if everything was in order, it was very pleasant))
And, thanks very much to our waiter Anton, he served our table perfectly, looked after all the guests, cleaned dirty dishes, napkins in a timely manner, brought drinks, was always in our field of course, thank you very much, we were very pleased that it was Anton who served our table)
The holiday was a great success, everyone really liked everything)))) we will definitely come to taste your beer))))) Thank you very much for your hard work
Convenient location on Kulman street, parking. A beautiful authentic building, the internal architecture is complex and interesting - a lot of cozy multi-level lounges allows a huge number of people not to cross each other while being in the restaurant at the same time. The menu is the widest, the quality of the food is excellent. The choice of flavors is for any discerning or not so gourmet. The volume of portions is large. The beer is excellent. After 19.00 on Fri, Sat - live music.
If you choose a great pastime without the slightest fear that it will be tasteless or uninteresting, then you are in "Friends".
Have a wonderful holiday! Enjoy your meal!
P.S. be sure to take deep-fried cheese sticks (made of mozzarella)))...
On August 26, the family celebrated their birthday, they were very satisfied with the dishes and live music and the prices are pleasant and the main service is that the waiters are an excellent friendly company at the table they watch instantly and any of them passing by removes used dishes and always ask what else you want. At prices, it turned out to be great to eat with cognac for 100 rubles per person - very acceptable.
And what a beautiful park area around for selfies, even a small monument of the legendary Mimino.
In general, we are grateful to the friendly staff of this restaurant for a great time!!!
It's a great place! Very tasty cuisine, huge portions, friendly staff! Sooo delicious beer from our own brewery! Live music, there is a fee for the show on weekends, but the amount is small. The cover bands are great, there's a big dance floor, you can dance or just listen to great music. We had a wonderful time there and even came back again for our little vacation! When traveling to Minsk, this place is a must-visit for me! I definitely recommend it!
It's a very pleasant place. The food is delicious, the portions are sufficient, the ribs, as many have said, are quite enough for two, the draniki are awesome for one too much, but if you take your time, under the liqueur, and there are four types, mmm, savor.
The service is fast and high-quality. The waiters are very friendly.
Music.. this evening there was a new band “Sound Lab”, they played with a bang. Half an hour playing, half an hour break. This interval has come to us. It sounds great. There are places where either you can't make out the vocals because of the music, or both are out of the bucket. It was the best place here.
The dance floor is too small.
Security.. He gets a PO for a reason,.. an incident happened (did not even happen, but originated) in the hall, it was eliminated instantly. They didn't even understand where so many of them came from.
I highly recommend visiting the company.
I was there this summer, a chic restaurant with live music. Three floors, there is also a veranda. The cuisine is delicious, the portions are large! If something is cooked wrong, there is always a gift from the chef! I ate a delicious author's pastry from the chef "cheesecake". The portions were so huge that they took a lot with them. I can pack food for you with me. There are festivals every week and there are special dishes for it! We took this and it turned out to be a lot for a company of 4 people! Because it includes several dishes: from appetizers to dessert! We really liked it. And we ate delicious food and danced!🤗
It's a good place. My friends recently celebrated there. Delicious food! Pleasant atmosphere. A lot of beautiful people. Musical accompaniment of the evening. Everything is fine. The photographer overshadowed the impression. I took great pictures. We bought a paper photo from him. The digital promised to be reset by e-mail. It's been a few weeks. I didn't reset anything. He didn't even reply to the messages. It's a shame! That's not how things are done!
A great place for any kind of event! Spacious halls, a stage, entertainment programs, an indoor karaoke area and many locations for boarding various groups of guests. For lovers of beer and fresh air, there is an outdoor beer bar near the park area. As for the service and cuisine, everything was always delicious and at a decent level during all our visits to this institution. Well done guys! We wish them good luck!🌟
We were there on Friday night. The waiters are friendly and welcoming, the order was delivered super quickly. Everything that was ordered was very tasty, the portions were large, and I liked the beer too. My husband is delighted with the hand and the dark beer.
The room is spacious, 3 floors, the distance between the tables is quite comfortable, you do not have to sit closely. The interior is pleasant, the overall impression is very positive.
We will definitely come back when we are in Minsk.
I love this place, every weekend my children and I relax in the street in Bigarden. Everything is super and I like the kitchen. We decided after a couple of years of such trips to go inside in an adult way and were terribly upset (
The kitchen is good, the orders arrived relatively quickly, I would even say that it was surprisingly fast. The live music was wonderful. A dance floor of wonders.
But, as it turned out, it is customary there for those tables that are high and far from the stage. They just take their food and drinks and go sit at the bar and at the tables around the column. Where people with red bracelets are already sitting. A scuffle begins. They take away the chairs, they say they have a table ordered there, they are in a more privileged position and can go down with their food and kick out those who just bought a place behind the bar. The hustle and bustle, the lack of space, it felt like we were in a country club.
+delicious food and drinks
+fast service
+the kitchen works fast
- the contingent is different, although the institution is expensive, but they can "get drunk".
-high prices, but when you see the price from 140, then the price of 25p for a salad seems to be for nothing)
-there is a lack of organization at the bar,
-if you sat down at tables on balconies in the afternoon, then you know that the waiters have probably already forgotten about you. It's better to be in sight.
Excellent modern brasserie. Not exactly in the historical center, but it's worth a visit. There is a large park nearby.
Friends: this is a brasserie in the building and next to the summer BeerGarden, but only with self-service.
We visited the restaurant and were in a great mood afterwards!
Freshly brewed beer, excellent cuisine, the atmosphere of the place - everything turned out to be on top!
Well, I would like to mention the local horseradish. A very decent specimen😉
We celebrated the anniversary in your restaurant with a large and friendly company on June 6th, 2024 . Everything is just fine, the level, the service, the cuisine, the atmosphere, the music. I will recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances. I would especially like to mention and thank the administrator Ekaterina for her professional ability to work with guests, excellent business qualities, tact, politeness, responsible and attentive attitude to the requests of guests, quick order processing and highly qualified assistance in its formation. Communication leaves very positive impressions. Thanks !!!!!!! Success and prosperity to the whole team!!!! With gratitude, Sergey Vorobyov.
A good restaurant. The restaurant, if I understood correctly, is about food. The portions are large and huge. The food is great, especially if the meat is for you. The prices are average.
The drinks are average, there is a beer of its own brewing.
The place is popular with tourists, especially if guests come to Minsk residents.
There is a veranda, live music, dancing 30+))). It's a cool place.
The restaurant is located in a "green" area, surrounded by a park, so you can make noise.
Excellent brewery restaurant. A very creditable beer of its own production. There are many halls on several levels, a karaoke club in a separate room, delicious cuisine, business lunches, live music in the evening and a good dance program on weekends. Come at any time - you won't regret it.
A very atmospheric restaurant. There are many zoned seats. Thoughtful interior design. Fast and courteous service. Own brewery, bakery. Very tasty bread of our own production. We tried machenka, I also liked it, it was satisfying.
I recommend.
Spacious brasserie, with balconies, veranda. The location is not in the center. The service is friendly. I liked the kitchen, the ribs, the wings, the burger.. interesting - mojito on kvass, I liked the beer, especially the fruity one (the restaurant has its own brewery) with strawberry flavor, the portions of the dishes are decent.
We were Friends with Friends on all floors. One of the best places in Minsk! Beer is beyond praise! The kitchen is mind-blowing! Live music every day! Hookah karaoke is the best! In a few days of staying in Minsk - visiting Friends, the staff became native!)))) It would be possible to put 10 stars! The place is a must-visit!
Anastasia Volodina Friends
We have been to the restaurant more than once, the impressions are different, but yesterday's dinner was a success. All the dishes are delicious: the taste is exquisite, the presentation is beautiful. Many thanks to the boss and his team!
Special thanks to Anastasia Volodina for her professional service: she is very attentive, does everything quickly, unnoticeably and with a smile. Also, grilled dorado is easily "stripped" of skin and bones! We had dinner with great pleasure 😁
It's a good place. It's gotten better over the years. Lots of places. Free spaces. It is convenient both to come to lunch and to hold an anniversary. Good live music. The mood and tone have been created. They often complain about the food there. The serving of the dishes is ugly. The menu also does not appetizingly show the dishes depicted there. The taste and color, as they say... At prices - as everywhere in similar establishments.
A very large restaurant. With a large selection of dishes. Delicious, expensive. There is a stage with professional equipment. The territory is well maintained. The portions are large,
I recommend friends to visit and enjoy the cuisine and surroundings.
A great place to relax with friends. A varied menu, all items are very tasty, high-quality tinctures. Pleasant atmosphere, live music. On the 1st floor there is karaoke, good equipment and a nice girl presenter.
Good atmosphere, pleasant atmosphere, kitchen for a solid 4. Not a gourmet, but in some dishes with the addition of sour cream (mayonnaise) there is an excessive sourness, as for me. Overall, everything is at a good level. I liked the multi-level location of the visitors, as well as the location in the center on the ground floor of the stage and the opportunity to watch the performance from the second floor. It is comfortable to listen to a live performance-well-tuned sound. Convenient Parking near the establishment.
We come here with friends, usually there are no problems: delicious food, good service, live music…
What I didn't like:
30.06. ventilation didn't work, from the word at all
We clarified several times with the waiters, the administrator, the answer was - "the air conditioning system cannot cope, it is difficult to work in such conditions ourselves," that is, it had been coping perfectly for 5 years before, and then suddenly it broke down…
In general, instead of a pleasant pastime, they fanned themselves with leaves, left upset
It is a pity that such an institution cannot provide a comfortable temperature in the room
Despite the delicious food and super service, the impression of the visit is extremely negative
In general, the place is suitable for different ages and generations, the cuisine is excellent, the range of dishes and the quality of their preparation and serving are pleasing to the eye and taste buds. The situation is also at a high level. The most important thing is live music and excellent performers of songs of different genres.
A very good spiritual institution where you can celebrate a birthday or any family holiday, or come to relax for no reason. Polite and helpful staff, as well as live music that lifts the mood. The food is very tasty and the portions are large. After the restaurant closes, you can go to karaoke in the same place.
We came to visit from Russia. The first thing we thought about was where we could have a delicious dinner. According to the recommendations, we went to "Friends". What can I say: a great restaurant, a cozy interior, the coolest serving and delicious dishes. The staff is attentive and customer-oriented.
Thank you for the hospitality and a delicious dinner!
Belarus is a wonderful country!!!
The place is very large, the food is delicious, the service is fast, the prices are appropriate. Live music, which is very nice. The dance floor is too small for such a scale. Polite staff. The establishment leaves a lot of good emotions.
A normal place, a large hall, many tables on the street, a playground nearby. Concerts are held periodically in the main hall. In general, everything is fine there) I lower my rating only for the beer of my own production, it is not terrible, but leaves much to be desired.
The brewery. We were in the evening with live music. A great place, you can sit inside and on the terrace on the street (on the 1st and 2nd floor), attentive waiters, the menu is small, interesting serving, delicious. I liked the beer!
The location is almost in the center of the city, service, food, live music - everything is good. We had a corporate party with a large organization of about 170 people, everything was fine. There is a terrace where in summer you can isolate yourself from the noise inside the establishment and get some fresh air.
It's a great place. Delicious and hearty dishes, pleasant interior.
The only thing that caused a seizure was the sale of photos.. I thought they were taking pictures for a report, and then you can download these photos for yourself.. but no, they print them in 20x30 format without asking and bring them to you in fact. You don't have to buy, no one forces you, but this is a cringe from the past. Moreover, they ask for 15 rubles for one photo. despite the fact that it is printed on the cheapest paper, the cost of which is 40 kopecks per sheet. In general, this is inappropriate for such an expensive place.
The place is good. It was especially pleasant to come here earlier, when the prices were adequate. The menu is varied, they cook delicious, their own strong and non-strong drinks, their own beer. Sometimes there's live music, lots of space.
It's a great place. The service is excellent. The problematic issue (due to our lack of care) was resolved quickly. With a positive result. The serving of the dishes is super. Draniki are beyond praise. I can't appreciate beer, I don't understand it. We took small portions of beer for tasting on the advice of the waiter. Very tasty croutons.
The best restaurant in Minsk. A variety of food and drink menus. My beer. You can buy a set as a gift. Everything is delivered quickly enough. Live music is above all praise. The real average check per person is 5,000 Russian rubles
I highly recommend this restaurant for a family holiday.
During the daytime, there is a lunch offer.
The portion size and the quality of the lunch dishes are excellent.
The children's menu is just super, a cockerel on a stick is brought to the hot dish.
The main menu is also excellent, the borscht is beyond praise.
Good day to all! 🖐
We would like to sincerely thank your restaurant and the team of employees for our wonderful wedding evening, which took place this Saturday, August 3rd! 🙏
Thank you for the professionalism, comfort, tons of attention and kindness from the waiters and the banquet manager - you are real professionals! 💯
As a gift from the restaurant: congratulations from the cover band, a spectacular presentation of a cake with congratulations and fireworks. Before you have time to think about something, the waiters are already doing: helping to put flowers, regular replacement of dishes, appliances, napkins - and all this instantly, all on time: serving dishes, drinks - they fulfilled any whim! Thank you very much for your hard work, understanding and, of course, professionalism!
We would like to say a special thank you to the banquet manager Daria! It was really nice talking to you! They told us everything professionally, tactfully, advised us, guided us and went to a meeting on many issues.💖
It was a real holiday!!!
We wish your whole team all the best! 💕
When visiting Minsk, we had lunch twice in this cafe. A fairly large, spacious restaurant - several halls for guests. I liked the service - the waiters, the administrators are tactful, attentive. We did not choose the dishes ourselves - the lunches were paid for by our sightseeing tour. I would like to mention the crispy, delicious, fragrant bread - many people bought an additional cold kvass with them. Otherwise, the dishes are edible, but they did not cause a WOW effect (salads, pancakes with meat, cold meat, rice with chicken, etc.). We were in the Fasting period, but, unfortunately, there is NO lenten menu in this restaurant. I give 4 stars for this. We ordered beer - it turned out to be more expensive than in similar establishments. I liked the interior - beautiful views from the windows, a lot of cool elements in the design.
I liked the "Friends":
1. A huge institution with several floors. Scene. The dance floor. I liked the counter on the third floor with a view of the dance floor.
2. Cuisine: delicious. BUT I didn't like that everything was brought at once, it eventually cooled down, etc., etc. However, we did not come to eat 😉
3. Beer: they drank and tasted better, but in general they are normal.
4. Leisure: we were on Friday evening, the band was performing, we really liked it. The dance floor was rocked properly!!!
From the features: the group performed for half an hour, then half an hour of silence. Silence does not even turn on the tape recorder, it seems at the request of the regulars so that they can talk.
Dancing until 2 a.m., then everyone is invited to go to karaoke.
In general, I really liked the way we spent time at Friends. I recommend it!
Py.Sy. I really liked the pate (I attached a photo).
The service and staff are 5+, nice, polite, unobtrusive - really great.
The menu is good, the selection is large. We were at the gastrofest, we were satisfied. The ale that they brew themselves is at its height.
But we won't go a second time — it's too noisy. We were at 13-14 and expected a calm atmosphere, we wanted to chat. Instead, they listened to the cheers of the animators, and then loud music that needed to be shouted over. For an amateur. For this, a minus star.
A great place to celebrate!) Delicious food, clear service, live music just 🔥!) We were on a weekday, and it was still fun, and even spacious for dancing! I liked the area near the establishment: benches, paths, there is a place for the company to go out to breathe.
