Stylish bar on the roof of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The bar is topped by a web of metal, armchairs in the main hall, and an open terrace with an amazing view of the Kremlin. In addition to the wonderful cocktail menu, the bar offers a sushi menu from the well-known Japanese chef, Seiji Kusano.
The cocktail menu at this bar has a big selection of apple-based cocktails. For example, the Apple Ray, which features calvados, fresh apple puree, and sprite and has the taste, color, and scent of a fresh apple.

This hotel is located in a contemporary building with an atrium and a spacious lobby where one can enjoy live piano music. The name of the hotel comes from the restaurant Ararat located here, which opened in the 1980s. The windows afford views of the Bolshoi Theater, Neglinnaya Street or a cozy inner courtyard. The Conservatory bar, with its panoramic view of central Moscow, deserves special attention.
Life is in full swing on the grounds of the former Arma gasworks. In January of 2009 the club Arma 17 burned down, but quickly moved into a new structure, which is now called Arma 09. This sizeable industrial building is fully suitable for full-blown raves, which happen here periodically.
