Makeshift Bar

Similarly to how each culture has its own type of bar, such as the pub in the UK, in Russia, drinking culture takes on a unique form. Rather than relying on fancy establishments, makeshift bars made primarily out of wood and stocked with bottles of vodka are common. This particular bar looks as if it was constructed in a hurry and has a questionable heating system.

However, if the vodka is up to par and the company is good, patrons will feel as if they are among close friends in the coziest of establishments. It’s a testament to the convivial spirit of Russian drinking culture.
