An atmospheric place, the menu selection is not too wide and large, but it is quite normal. There are a couple of salads, the rest is mostly full-fledged hot dishes or snacks. We ordered different things for a big feast, and we liked the food. The alcohol is good, and there are fruit and berry beers for lovers of sweet notes. By the late hour, live music starts playing - the guys are great, the songs were played completely different in the "era" so to speak)
The institution is losing its position literally before our eyes.. (( I visited it many years ago and sincerely considered it one of the best pubs in Minsk with a large beer list and a menu of interesting snacks. The last visit a couple of days ago left an impression, after which I do not want to return here. Yes, it is clear that the sanctions and imported draft beer have run out once or twice, but there is enough Belarusian and Russian quite good draft beer and why not add it?! If there is no desire to slide into the mass market and you want to remain a pub with imported beer, then why is the menu deteriorating in terms of assortment?!
We were with a friend. Previously, if there was a question of where to drink good beer and eat delicious food, they didn't even think about it-they went to the nail. And this is the second time I've come out of it in mild disbelief. The service and location are still at the same high level. But the kitchen is starting to optimize the gramming a lot, I think. My main criterion is wings. Not only was there only one species left, but even those were ruined. The slightly warm, obviously long-cooked boiled wings were brought. I just didn't eat the sausages. This is the impression the cook bought in the store, lightly threw into boiling water and served undercooked. There are no words at all about pig ears that used to crackle. Some kind of boiled, rotten mass. In general, we need to look for something else.
This bar has its own atmosphere and coziness. The prices here are typical for Minsk, as a simple young guy from Mogilev, of course, it's expensive for me, but still, you know, you definitely won't regret going for a couple! The staff is friendly, immediately finds a common language with you offering good beer and not only at a reasonable price. In any case, the price is really justified. Snacks are also good, in any case, croutons with cheese and pork ears with chili peppers went with a bang)
Upd 13.02.25.:
During the three months of my absence in Minsk and, consequently, the pause of visiting my favorite bar, I noticed an unexpected incident - the local chef decided to realize himself by "improving" the menu.
From the tasted:
Now there is only one option left of the wings- Buffaloes, filled with an incomprehensible sauce. In the new serving, they taste disgusting. They asked for a drier roast, it became digestible.
Pig ears aren't the same anymore. Served soft, the sauce is different from the usual.
The Gvozdevsky sausages, which were a hit of the institution, struck me most of all: they no longer resemble the Nuremberg sausages, both in quality and size. I was very surprised by the dried tomatoes inside the sausages. (I thought I was wrong, but the administrator confirmed that this is the innovation "that will distinguish the Nail from the competition.")
Finally killed the Bavarian mackerel.
The Bavarians would have gone crazy: soaked in water, absolutely tasteless fish, drowned on potato slices, like on a leaking raft, in a disgusting creamy sauce.
It seemed to me that the local chef with this dish is in a share with the nearest pharmacy for the sale of antidiarrheal drugs.
By the way, after returning to the kitchen, this stuff was removed from the receipt.
It was time for a hot drink and we started thinking about waiting for the bar next door to open.
We were assured that the chef would definitely not miss with a steering wheel. As a result, the steering wheel itself is without complaints. The problem happened with the cabbage- The infernally over-salted brew again required replacement.
I clarified that the cook hadn't changed. Apparently, in a creative or midlife crisis, he decided to "look for himself," but in the end he simply got lost in three pines.
People forget a simple axiom: the best is the enemy of the good.
With this approach to innovations in the kitchen, the Nail has a high chance of customers moving, in general (without guile), to good beer bars located nearby.
I would like to note that the beer and the service in the hall are without complaints.
I was upset by the changes and my visit, considering that I was with the guests. I don't even know what to do with the stars- I removed them according to my own understanding.
By the way, the backbone of the waiters is changing. There was a completely unfamiliar shift that day.
At the same time, the next day I met familiar faces from the nail in another bar.
Guys, hold on, don't let the profane ditch the Nail!
Mid-2021:
A great cozy bar with delicious cuisine. Not all the beer assortment is good. This is the first time I've come across a situation where a bald magus comes out to challenge my comments in parallel, during a discussion, sipping beer from a mug. This is beyond good and evil. By the way, the kega was changed. The rest is without complaints.
A wonderful, atmospheric place with wonderful staff, delicious food and legendary live beer. No institution can compare with this. The best brasserie I've ever visited. Excellent lunch menu, and live music on Fridays. Super!!!
Atmospheric, delicious.
The only thing that was very confusing was the connection to Wi-Fi through the entrance to public services. In all other institutions where we were, you could easily connect by sending SMS.
It's not just expensive, but very expensive! Even for Minsk. Prices are higher than in Moscow. Just like in London. Excuse me - for a glass of beer under $10?
As I understand it, our "Chinese friends" are hanging out there today.
The Chinese elite of the second level. That they've been living in luxury hotel rooms for years. There are plenty of them there even on a weekday. It's not for me.
It's delicious in a European way. There is a lunch menu. Because of the sanctions, there is no famous European beer. The best dish for the company "meat on nails".
I have held presentations, trainings and other educational events in this bar many times. A cozy atmosphere. Delicious cuisine. A comfortable conference room for small groups. It is convenient to spend time with good company in such a hall 👌👍🔥🔥🔥
A creative place. Delicious beer, it's a pity that there are almost no local producers. But what was on the menu is quite decent. They took beer snacks, croutons and baked cheese for the company. Everything is very tasty. We also ordered a steering wheel. I had no illusions about the steering wheel. I'll say it's not bad, but I ate better. The staff is attentive, served promptly. The place is interesting in itself. There is a lot to see and take pictures in the original locations.
A great place, the food is super fast, the staff is very polite, there are a lot of cool German beer and not only) reasonable prices. After the visit, only delight and positive emotions!
Interior, service - nothing. Delicious beer. But there is one thing.
Price. Very expensive for a beer bar. And it would be fine if it was delicious. But beef cheeks with mashed potatoes for 40 rubles were extremely so-so, and in some places the meat had a strange taste, in some places it was too fatty, which is strange for beef. Yes, the portion is large, but it would be better if it were smaller and tastier.
In the same Lithuania, a similar dish costs 25 rubles and is many times tastier.
Beer prices are also not a fire, what I liked cost 20 rubles for 0.5.
I will not go there anymore. There are more interesting, tastier and cheaper places.
Great place, great beer, delicious snacks, lightning fast service! The location is as convenient as possible, there are a lot of Parking spaces and could not but please pre-booking day in day out! Thank you, we will go often!)
Hello everyone. I've been there a couple of times. I liked the bar. A good place to relax. Convenient location, there is a place to dance, some days there is live music.
Great pub! We were in Minsk for work. We accidentally went to the Nail in the evening. We were satisfied! Good beer. The knuckle is the best, in all seriousness, tastier than anywhere you've ever eaten! Ears to beer fire 🔥The cook has a separate 5* The service is good. The only thing I would like to offer is to offer blankets to guests! We were sitting in the first hall, not far from the front door, and there is a very strong wind, we are frozen, but it is not convenient to eat in jackets!
I'm not a local. I was with a group of 6 people. We all came to the hero city of Minsk for work. There was a football match that day. We found a place for four people by phone, and upon arrival we managed to upgrade.
The nail is a sports bar. Everything is at a high level here. Great food. Fast service. The price tag was pleasantly surprised. Good beer. In general, everything is cool!
I highly recommend it.
I really liked everything! Friendly staff! The menu is great! It is cooked quickly and very tasty! Very interesting interior! I recommend it for a visit!
There is a fairly wide selection of imported beer. Delicious food, friendly staff. The service is fast. The only thing I would like is a more atmospheric place.
We met with a friend after 5 years of separation. There was a wonderful table on the entourage veranda - and it wasn't hot or cold. In addition, excellent waiters (especially Annushka) suggested the menu, told about the promotions and brought everything on time. in general, what you need for a warm meeting with an old friend.
A great place, pleasant staff (absolutely unobtrusive), the menu may not be very diverse, but this is only a plus (it is better to cook expertly from fresh products than to chew semi-finished products a week ago). Well, a separate attraction is the toilet room, I won't even describe it, it needs to be visited)))
We visited this restaurant 5 years ago, so.... the quality has not deteriorated, the owners maintain the level. Keep it up !
Delicious. The service is generally good, but it can be difficult to catch a waiter when you have already partially ordered. The staff is polite and friendly. Even the restrooms are decorated in an interesting way. I love this place
It's a very cool place.
We sat on the veranda, drank beer, ate all sorts of delicious things. I was advised Nail as a place "where the food is cool." All right.
Fast service, reasonable prices. The "knee" was highly recommended, but the waiter warned that this dish was for about four people and I did not order it.
A cool place, fans of foam are sure to visit. A lot of different and delicious beer. The bar is as atmospheric as possible. 5 liter towers, not usual and decent) interesting posters in the toilet))
The widest range of good beer, excellent cuisine. The staff (beautiful girls) are on top, they know almost everything about beer. Yes, the place is not cheap, but it is definitely worth it.
The food for 4 beer sets was taken, the beer is excellent matches the brands,the service is good decent polite with a smile, the atmosphere is pleasant the TV Champions League was at my moment, I took a Budweiser!
A good place for a friendly company, the choice of beer is good, the dishes are wonderful and delicious, the serving is original and not at all usual in places, the staff is very polite, it was during the day, but judging by the equipment there is live music in the evenings, which is fine, judging by the entourage the music should be good! :)
A good place, a good selection of beer and food. There is a waiter girl, remembers those who have been two or three times and remember what they ordered, it's nice! Good live music! Previously, they gave discount cards to regular customers, it's a pity there is no such thing anymore
The place is advertised. The interior is interesting, the staff is friendly and professional. Beer for 5. Everyone can choose all imported beer according to their taste. Although the price of beer is cosmic. The prices of the dishes, to put it mildly, are also significantly higher than average, but the quality does not match the cost. Of the 3 dishes ordered, none was delicious. The pleskavitsa was burnt, the perch was overcooked and therefore not tasty as a sole, and Caesar with so many crackers gave the impression of some kind of mess. In general, they spent money, but did not get pleasure. Only beer and a cheerful and helpful waitress saved the evening of February 23rd. At these prices, guys, everything should be perfect. In my opinion. Or am I wrong?
Fire place, welcome from the entrance, friendly staff. On Friday, it's worth booking. On weekdays, there will definitely be a free table. Delicious, affordable, like at home.
It's a wonderful place. It's delicious. Emotional. Not very noisy for spending time with friends, by 5 points. The interior is impressive, saturated with life and about life. I wish there were more such stylistic cafes and bars.
One of the first beer bars in Minsk, a large selection of beer and drinks, delicious cuisine, friendly staff! It is located in the center of Minsk, near the Yakub Kolas metro station
A good beer restaurant with a large assortment of beer and snacks to it, the contingent in this restaurant varies from young people to the elderly. We enjoyed everything very much, thank you.
The food is delicious, the setting is beautiful. The beer list could have been bigger! The waiters are pleasant, always with a smile. The furniture is capacious, it's not scary to dance on the table)))

A truly legendary and atmospheric place. The best brasserie, the best staff, the cuisine is always at a high level throughout all the years of work. Pork ribs are generally a culinary work. However, the place is not very cheap for today's times. But the pleasure is worth it.
A pale shadow of the past. The price tag for beer is terrible, beer is no longer a cake. Intrusive music that interferes with conversation. If I wanted chaos, I'd go to Clover.

A very cozy and atmospheric place! The prices are average, personally, according to my preferences, the cuisine is delicious, the beer list is excellent! Very polite, attentive and caring waiters! The design of the pub is also very cool and old-fashioned! In general, everything was great, thanks!
A few years ago, there was a favorite restaurant in Minsk. It's getting a little sad there now… But the kitchen is still great, the service is excellent. There is not enough life and movement.
