I was at the "Harakterniki" bar on 05/23/2026. I can't forget the shameful act of your bartender Kyryl, who, after quite demonstratively drinking alcoholic beverages, hysterically refused to serve a girl, whom he then roughly pushed in a plastered broken arm. Keep an eye on your employees, this shouldn't happen. I don't recommend the bar. Thank you for the ruined evening.

Super cool place, great music, friendly bartenders and staff. Everything is delicious and affordable. I was very pleasantly surprised by the girl who took my orders; she's super cool and knows the drink list, menu, and alcohol list very well. I'll be back again and again; it's a very comfortable place.
