Solyanka

I'd heard many a good word about this haunt and I was eager to see if such rave reviews were justified.  I read one review that claimed "If you ask any trendy Muscovite where the best club is in Moscow they will undoubtedly send you to Solyanka".  After making it past face control it was clear to see why it is a scenesters paradise. Its mismatched and natty furniture is adorned by fashionable young folk who puff smouldering on their cigarettes between sips of the house liquor.  Some talk, some simply sit, content in silence.  They wait nonchalantly for the evenings proceedings, spectating for the moment.  The dim lighting creates a living room-esq effect perfect for pre-party ambiance. There is no doubt that Solyanka hosts the mother of all house parties on a weekly basis, resident home to Moscow's hipster elite.
