Bar named "Eternally Young" to open in Ekaterinburg, offering patrons a youthful atmosphere.
In the pulsating heart of Yekaterinburg, a new hotspot is about to ignite! This revamped basement in the Museum of Underground Art will soon house "Eternally Young," a bar owned by Sergey Bobunts, the iconic frontman of the band "Sensory Hallucinations." Set to open this summer, get ready to cross paths with the legendary rocker and his family, as they've partnered with Sergey's son, Nikita, to make this a familial endeavor.
Meet "Eternally Young," the bar named after Serguei's chart-topper, promising a delectable medley of bites, salads, and succulent burgers to fuel those sleepless Yekaterinburg nights. Speaking of which, the Bobunts clan has already established a similar haven of delight on the sun-kissed Russian Black Sea coast.
Savor the culinary sights and sounds of Yekaterinburg, as in 2024, a whopping 171 catering establishments found their footing, swelling the city's café, restaurant, and bar count to a staggering 2,700. According to Maxim Chaplygin, Director of Consumer Market and Services of the Administration of Yekaterinburg, the Ural capital's culinary scene is a treasure trove of foodie escapades.
But hey, it's not all a delicious mystery! Nightlife in Yekaterinburg is a mosaic of vibrant eateries and unique experiences, brimming with local culture, traditions, and customs. Each mouthwatering bite you take or drink you swoon over offers a glimpse into the heart of the Ural region.
However, the ever-evolving landscape of Yekaterinburg means some gems have to pass into the annals of history. Case in point – the revered "Solovyov's Wine Bar" that once graced the "Greenwich" shopping center, has officially bid adieu. A candid conversation with Semen Solovyov, co-founder of the wine shops and wine bars network, casts light on the establishment's demise:
Upon E-Story's inauguration in Greenwich, it was envisioned as a Moscow Depo analogue – a veritable gastronomic behemoth where food fanatics of all stripes flock. However, the reality was somewhat different. The establishment mostly catered to local professionals and students throughout the day. It was, regrettably, the evening restaurant format that failed to garner traction, as the mall was already brimming with a plethora of enticing food choices.
Furthermore, Solovyov lamented that numerous projects under E-Story's roof couldn't find their groove, ultimately closing within a year of inception.
