Na Bokalchik

"For a Glass" is a stylish wine bar located in Kazan on Baumana Street. The venue was created by Artyom Tyazhelov and Alexei Yakimov, the founders of Draft Bar and the bistro Artel.

The interior is done in dark, rich tones with soft lighting for an intimate atmosphere.

The main focus is on natural materials and textured detail. A light-stone bar counter contrasts with the walls' deep wine and chocolate tones, and a hanging structure of glasses and bottles adds energy to the space. A standout feature is a wall with a relief resembling cave paintings, giving an archaic effect that pairs in an interesting way with the modern, minimalist furniture and lighting. The room has plenty of cozy seating: bar stools at the counter, soft armchairs at small tables, and long benches along the walls, all done in dim light. Glass and metal accents in the interior lend the space a sense of lightness, and abundant plants soften the strict lines.

The bar's menu is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine and rounds out an extensive wine list. Among the appetizers: liver pâté, beef tartare and seafood dishes. Special attention is given to cheeses and gastronomic sets that pair perfectly with wine. The wine list runs to around 60 labels, from light prosecco and crémants to rich Spanish and Portuguese wines.
