Mr. Willard

Mr. Willard is another project by the ReLab Family restaurant group (Paloma Cantina, Ichi by ReLab), located on Galaktionova Street in Kazan. A genuine hidden bar with no phone number, findable only through a friend's or a bartender's recommendation.

Special attention is paid to a personal approach: guests can describe their preferences, and the bartenders will create a unique drink.

The interior immerses you in the atmosphere of classic American speakeasies from the Prohibition era. The space is done in warm, deep tones, dominated by dark wood, brass details and vintage touches. The centerpiece is a massive backlit wooden bar counter, lined with bottles of rare spirits. Inside are leather armchairs, comfortable bar stools and small tables. The design is rounded out with minimalist details, such as vintage posters, retro photographs and vintage furniture. Dim lighting creates a soft, intimate atmosphere, and wall sconces with frosted shades along with candles on the tables add coziness.

The menu offers a range of European dishes. The appetizer section includes beef tartare with pecorino romano, a brioche with seafood, and tempura shrimp. Among the mains: creamy pasta with bacon and a flank steak. The bar list includes both classic and signature cocktails.
