Reviews about the bar "Biblioteka" in Samara

Guests of the restaurant approve of the concept of the establishment, they like the unusual stylized interior, excellent dishes, theatrical atmosphere, dissimilarity to other bars, great music, a large selection of delicious dishes (especially tar-tar with tuna, rolls, cheeses, burgers, beer), great business lunches. The institution has many regular customers who are happy to spend time here in parties. They praise the hookah and good hoods, thanks to which the smell of smoke is not felt even with a large number of smokers.

The disadvantages include rather high prices, lack of buttons to call staff and draft beer, too loud music that prevents even those sitting at the same table from talking, insufficiently attentive waiters without smiles on their faces, small rooms and cramped conditions. They also find flaws in the cuisine: it is more likely formed for drinks than as an independent story, cocktails leave much to be desired, bartenders refuse to mix complex cocktails and ask to order another one, Japanese food falls far short of the real one, many dishes are frankly tasteless. The place is more suitable for hanging out young people, in fact, it makes up the bulk of the visitors.
