Vagabond

Kyiv


This little bohemian hangout near Kyiv Mohyla Academy holds nightly events that might include poetry readings, storytelling or live music on the sidewalk outside. Coffee by day, cocktails by night, and a small, all-vegetarian food menu. It's owned by a couple of self-styled global nomads, one Russian and one American.
