We were at a summer party, celebrating a friend's birthday. The beer is great, the snacks are delicious, the service is wonderful. But! As always, there are some "buts". A corporate party of some kind was walking inside the cafe itself. And every 10-15 minutes they went out to smoke just an incredible number of people, just incredibly "fragrant" cigarettes. The smoke stood in a bluish cloud over all the tables of the summer house. And we are non-smokers, and we specifically wanted to sit on a summer evening in the fresh, cool air. It didn't work out. The impression was ruined. Maybe it was worth taking care of a special room for smokers with a good hood? I don't know. But in the end, the company got high, but we didn't. The prices are average. We were ready to spend that day, but the bill came out a little higher than planned. And not because they ordered a lot. No. We took only two beer sets. Oh! And one more thing. The sausages and the whole meat part were awesome, but the baked potatoes were not baked and gave the impression of undercooking, or something. They didn't finish it. For these "but" minus one star

Craft bar, beer in three-liter cans, glasses in the form of cans. A tight fit, live music, a good cover band played with us, there is a dance floor. There's not a lot of space, it's a little cramped. The service is excellent, the waiters do everything quickly, smartly, unobtrusively, politely.
There are good snacks for beer. Recommend👍🏻

The service and waiters are 1 star. The table is not cleared, you need to order something to look for her in the hall. Still all out of control and not happy with everything. The kitchen is so-so. Don't chew the lamb if you buy it. It's also hard to cut with a knife. Prices are convenient only for beer lovers. Otherwise, it's expensive. A 0.25 call costs more than 1,000 tenge. It is better to choose another leisure facility. So that.At least have a proper meal

Everything is fine! Except for the DJ! Absolutely tasteless, that's the worst thing I've ever heard! And Mvdzhanzha, and tuber, and Kizdarai..... banks have their own special style, but this one..... It only spoils everything. And this is the first time I've seen people react so aggressively to polite criticism. People go to the jar for her special handwriting, not this mess that started after the band's great performance.

It's a nice place with nice music.
The service wasn't bad, but it was hard to call it good either.
I was upset by the bathroom, which was a fairly common place in the beer bar, and it was in a technically defective condition.

A great place to sit and dance. A very tasty menu, we ordered a pig with mushrooms, the dish is beyond praise. Cocktails are varied, I took one of the cocktails with Red lips, it was delicious and only in moderation and the portion was decent. They left happy, but it's a pity that the musicians leave early, well, how early at about one o'clock in the morning, I just want to continue the holiday. It would be possible to just turn up the music louder, then at least😅 in order not to look for a continuation of the banquet further, many would be happy to stay.

There is a "movement" on weekends. Live music in the style of those over 35 🙂. On weekdays, you can sit and chat. The quality of the beer is a three. The prices are reasonable!

It's cool, but there aren't comfortable tables in the middle, and there aren't any seats if you haven't booked on the weekend. So, keep in mind, you have to pay for it earlier. As it is, everything is great. Service and admin,everything is super

It's a very good place. Delicious snacks and the best cocktails! (Tears of the ex, zombies, pink flamingo top) A separate respect to the music group - they danced until the end of their performance, the minus was only 1 - the air conditioners did not work. I do not remove the star, as this is a temporary drawback.

The dance floor is small, there is nothing to breathe when the hall is full. colorful Tinctures in jars gave us a terrible smell and taste. Salads should not be ordered at all. The croutons, the shrimp, the beer, and the whiskey were the most delicious. 🔝

We go often. The music, the atmosphere, the cuisine are all on their level. The service is also not long, despite the full hall. The receipt is acceptable

It's fun! On Fridays and Saturdays, at about 9 pm, there is incendiary cheerful live music. Dance hits for every taste. All this is under the average price level of alcohol. The establishment is primarily a pub. The kitchen is more of a beer-oriented snack bar. I can't really call the dishes worthy. I wouldn't go here for lunch. But having a good evening is a great place!

The pearl of Almaty's nightlife!
Delicious bar cuisine (especially snacks, such as garlic croutons), super beer (I liked Malevich and Rocket from craft), delicious branded liqueurs, good hookah;
Live disco music of the 90s-2000s, the most soulful format that I have come across in the CIS (Kazakhstan, RF, RB, Ruz);
Cool design and style of the bar, friendly staff and administration.
In general, 5/5 is my favorite Friday bar in Almaty.

The fire bar, if you have a desire to have fun and dance from the bottom of your heart, This is the very thing. About the kitchen ...in my opinion, so-so. Everything's fine about the booze. The staff is normal. But the main thing here is the general atmosphere, a pleasant contingent and live music, all this is very exciting.

They were on Friday, October 4, 2024. They noted that there is no accountant. As always, there were a lot of people, but the kitchen is something.....The Caesar salad arrived only 50 minutes after we had already arrived.....the hot dish is served in 2 hours and 10 minutes....the waiters can barely walk.. .we will not go there anymore and I will not advise anyone to my own

The food is lame, of course, but the atmosphere is great. It would be nice if they changed something, but for the better, otherwise everything has been going the other way lately. I like the time I spent there yesterday. It's become a little expensive there lately. It's a great place.

Recently, a birthday party was celebrated with guests at this institution.. We found a hair in one of the dishes.. it was very unpleasant in front of the guests, and even more unpleasant that the administrator simply ignored us in this.. thank you Olesya, for a ruined evening, we will not come back to you again

I've been here several times over the past year. Delicious beer can be drunk safely. Snacks are standard as in any beer bar. I don't remember the name of the musical group, but they played and sang very well. Well done. In general, it's like a beer bar where you can talk only before the music starts. I'll be back again

It's quite tasty, interesting sets of all sorts of tinctures. Low prices. On the downside, visitors constantly get drunk to the point of savagery and fight at night at the entrance, preventing residents from sleeping.
