Franky Bar

A classic cocktail bar that first opened in Nizhny Novgorod back in 2013. A timeless spot and one of the most popular in the city.

Franky Bar's lead mixologist is head bartender Roman Balashov.

Here you can step back into the era of Prohibition and old Hollywood. He knows the formula for the perfect cocktail and easily comes up with new, unusual combinations.

The kitchen is led by chef Alexander Kudryashov, who adds an original touch to classic recipes: marbled beef comes with a fried-potato cream, a crab cake is paired with corn cream and a fresh vegetable tartare, and spaghetti carbonara is prepared mac-and-cheese style. The interior perfectly rounds out the concept: leather chairs and sofas, wine racks, a wooden bar counter, dim lighting. On weekends, jazz nights are held here with music from professional musicians.
