Teplo Bar Almaty

Warmth under the stars

"Teplo means 'warmth,' and this cosy hideaway bar lives up to its name — with glowing lights and smooth rhythms. It's a place with a truly magnificent soul!"

The name "Teplo" means warmth, and never has a place so perfectly embodied its name. Tucked into an intimate space between two buildings, it feels like a secret clubhouse you've been lucky enough to discover. The first thing that greets you is not a sign but a profound piece of wisdom from Nathaniel Hawthorne inscribed above the arch, reminding all who enter: “No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.”

This sets the tone for everything that follows. The space glows under the soft, warm light of floor lamps, creating a wonderfully cosy and relaxed atmosphere. The air is filled with a delightful conversation between the soulful, living notes of a saxophone and the smooth rhythms of a DJ. Add to this the irresistible aroma of delicious barbecue burgers, and you have a perfect recipe for a heartfelt evening. It is a testament to the idea that you don't need a huge space to create a place with a truly magnificent soul; you just need warmth, honesty, and good company.
