Bar 133

Sakhalin Island


This friendly and cosy bar serves up some excellent food, and is popular with business travellers for whom the steep prices are of little concern. While it's perfectly possible to eat for a reasonable amount here, the best dishes, such as their rib-eye steak, filet mignon or lamb chops, are entirely worth the money.
