Mendeleev bar
but its complete reimagining, preserving only the name
and part of its main storylines.
Entrance to the bar is through the Japanese restaurant
Oshi Izakaya. Emperor.
The project was brought to life by GUYS, a restaurant management team behind OSHI Izakaya on Patriarch's Ponds.
The brand descriptor has two parts. The first part, "Bar", is led by Alexander Glazunov and Kostya Plesovskikh.
The second part, "Music", is just as essential. On weekdays, the space is filled with live jazz and soul; on Fridays and Saturdays, house and techno take over.
The bar itself, as well as the separate Dance Room behind the velvet curtain, becomes a stage for sets by renowned DJs and special events.
At first glance, the interior has barely changed: it still preserves the atmosphere of the brick vaults of the imperial printing house. Yet the space has been renewed in many details.
Hand-painted walls and ceilings with hidden meanings in every room, niches with art objects, a restored bar counter, glowing onyx, an AI screen and improved spatial ergonomics.
