Tinkoff is one of my regular weekend destinations. It's a bar which brews its own beer - there's a selection of beers which are always on tap and they also have seasonal beverages - these tend to be my preference as I like to mix it up a little bit. Expats from work meet at Tinkoff on a regular basis, often on Friday evenings but not my typical 5pm happy hour from home - this is Russia - we have to work until at least 6 on Friday as that's what is written in our contract.
There are tall tables off to the right of the bar, about 3 meters long - I inevitably always find myself at one of these with all of the other expats - it almost feels like Cheers, except no one that works there knows my name.
There is a special for 999 roubles to have all of the beer you can drink. I often say to myself, "that would require me to drink six 0.5 liter beers (just .7 liters shy of a gallon) to make it worth my while." There are few times where this wouldn't have been worth my while - I really don't understand why I never just do it - maybe I feel like I would have to drink even more, but no one else ever seems interested in taking up this challenge.
(sorry - I usually don't take my camera out with me and was not even able to Google many pictures)

Yeah, people here work full days on Fridays too - I don't get it. I'm trying to change the culture though.
