Maydan

Western Ukraine


The best, most atmospheric watering hole in town boasts a dark tavern-like hall with long benches and a stage for local weekend strummers to perform, two quieter seating areas for daytime imbibing, and a beer menu populated by brews from Western Europe, Russia and Ukraine. The food menu is overambitious so stick to Ukrainian staples.
