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

A great place to relax with friends, good live music, excellent staff, excellent service, the atmosphere is what you need, relatively inexpensive, a bunch of different sets, promotions and interesting contests, I will definitely come back here!

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.

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.

Весело! По пятницам и субботам примерно в 9 вечера зажигательная веселая живая музыка. Танцевальные хиты на любой вкус. Все это под среднего ценового уровня алкоголь. Заведение в первую очередь пивное. Кухня в большей мере закусочной под пиво направленности. Не могу назвать блюда действительно достойными. На обед сюда бы не пошел. А вот хорошо провести вечер - отличное место!

It's a great place.
The kitchen is delicious, a large selection of sets.The choice of drinks is also good.
The service is excellent, fast.
The music is both live and background cool.
Coming with the company is the best thing.

Жемчужина ночной жизни Алматы!
Вкуснейшая барная кухня (особенно закуски, например чесночные гренки), суперское пиво (понравились Малевич и Рокет из крафтовых), улетные фирменные наливки-настойки, хороший кальян;
Живая музыка формата дискотек 90х-2000х, самый душевный формат из тех, что попадался мне на территории СНГ (РК, РФ, РБ, Руз);
Классные оформление и стиль бара, дружелюбный персонал и администрация.
В общем 5/5, любимый пятничный бар в Алмате.

Extremely loud live music, not for a sociable company.
There are cool games on the table on the substrates, the menu is normal, the prices are reasonable. In general, everything is fine.

In general, the cool place has been noted more than once by the corporate service at a high level, the atmosphere is cool, the sound is just top-notch, the beer sets are just a bomb!!!

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 tinctures here are fierce, we do not advise anyone, cocktails with these tinctures "duchess" and "barberry" with champagne are disgusting, snacks are mediocre, the waiters are friendly

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.

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

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.

Несколько раз был здесь за прошедший год. Пиво вкусная можно пить смело. Закуски стандартные как в любом пивном баре. Не помню как называется музыкальная группа но очень хорошая играли и пели. Молодцы. В целом как пивной бар где говорить можно только до начала музыки самый раз. Вернусь ещё

One of the most beloved cans is always very crowded and atmospheric. The food is very tasty. But the big minus of the institution is a terrible hookah that smokes very badly for fabulous money

Adult bar, contingent 35-45 :) the portions are too small, the beer is good. The light music is poorly tuned, often shines in the face. At the same time, there was a good sound, a good band was playing. I felt like I was at a concert. I'll definitely come again.

Хорошее заведение, чтобы хорошо отдохнуть, посидеть с друзьями, потанцевать, послушать кайфовую музыку и вкусно покушать! По ценам всё довольно лояльно. Персонал вежливый. Единственное, туалеты маленькие, и в женском почти всегда огромные очереди) а так норм

Not the most spacious Jar, but very cozy, always atmospheric and delicious.
The only thing is, the service is a little lame on weekends.

Недавно друзья пригласили меня в эту
«Банку». У данного заведения был в этот день
6-ой день рождения. Был я у них в гостях не первый раз, но шокирован был впервые))) На входе предлагали сфотографироваться в фотозоне и угощали выпивкой и закусками с фуршетного стола. Буквально через пять минут нахождения в баре, в голове начался формироваться небольшой анализ по аналогичным заведениям. Где я могу с уверенностью сказать , что это заведение одно из лучших, где я бывал. Я не говорю, что это
***** ресторан, но время на отзыв я нашел, т.к. сам не редко подбираю заведения именно по отзывам.
На входе гостей встречал администратор, приветливый, улыбчивый, опрятный молодой человек в очень, как мне показалось не обычной рубашке)) Сразу провел к нашему заранее забронированному столику. Охрана вежливая и ненавязчивая, что тоже удивительно69. Мгновенно подошёл официант и не просто положил на стол меню, a поинтересовался, сможет ли он что то посоветовать. Если не ошибаюсь официанта зовут Аби (ему отдельное спасибо). Персонал конечно очень внимательный и отзывчивый.
Касаемо кухни, заказал себе стейк, это было восхитительно, может даже один из лучших, что я пробовал. В процессе нахождения (отдыха) к нам подошла симпатичная девушка и спросила всё ли нас устраивает, всё ли хорошо и что они могли бы сделать для нас, для того чтобы улучшить отдых(а). Это конечно нас всех удивило. Как выяснилось позже, это была директор заведения. Удивительно!!!
Живая музыка, репертуар шикарный. Играла неизвестная мне группа, но песни были зажигательные. Танцевало почти всё заведение, кроме персоналакз) конечно.
Из минусов хотелось бы отметить отсутствие нормальной парковки, обочина всегда занята.
Гости высаживаются на остановке общественного транспорта.
В завершении хотелось бы отметить, что во главе сего заведения на первом месте стоит клиент, а не заработок денег, как в большинстве заведений Алматы. Спасибо за прекрасно проведенное время. Спасибо, что стараетесь для нас(=).

The food is delicious, the staff is nimble and attentive. Minus it's cold in the restaurant, but thanks to the waiters they bring a blanket. The beer was brought for the last time exhausted and not tasty.

An atmospheric place. Drinks, salads, meat dishes. On Friday and Saturday, musical groups perform from 21:00 to 04:00. On these days, it is better to book places in advance

Alcohol leaves much to be desired. Of the snacks, I liked only the shrimp. The atmosphere was made out of what was there.

Место в целом очень уютное, афицианты приветливые, но ооооочень долго не подходят. Не воодушевляет внешний вид бокалов и подача... Кружки выглядят как банки, смотрится прикольно, но очень не удобно. Музыка не громкая, что очень удобно при общении с друзьями. Готовят вкусно. Вот только при заказе "сковородища с креветками", ожидалось, что сковородка будет побольше.🤣🤣🤣
В целом место приятное, можно смело рекомендовать.

4 stars in advance. There are no sockets at the tables. There is never a Zhiguli drink available, they impose a more expensive drink. The kitchen is good, everything is in order. The atmosphere is cozy. It works, in general.

At the beginning of the evening it was very cool, people even asked for blankets, then it became warm, from the number of people and the degree in the body 😂 Shots of a strange taste 😏 the snack is delicious 👍🔥 The dance floor is small, the song order is 4000-5000 tenge. The music was great👍
