Ilya from Minsk

Hi! My name is Ilya. I'm a freelance copywriter and, partly, a digital marketer. I'm passionate about content creation and media. Me and my friends run our own podcast. Mostly just about life, without any specific theme :). Plus, of course, I enjoy writing. And, sometimes, photography. Why Minsk I love Minsk because it's very cozy on one hand, and is becoming more a...

Klumba Minsk

Start your night out here

""Klumba" in Minsk is your perfect choice for starting a great night out, esp. on Fridays and the weekend. Ready to party? This is your place..."

So, you are on Zybitskaya, Minsk's main bar street, on Friday, around 23:30. You are ready to party. Probably, a crowd of other party people are around you (if it's summer). But where exactly should you go to start a great night out? Well, let me tell you: Klumba is your perfect choice.

A quiet place with some cocktails and food turns wild on Friday and the weekend. You can expect a lot of people. Like really, a lot. Like, forget about your personal space -- every time I've visited it, there were  people dancing in every square centimeter of Klumba's first floor (the photo was taken on a working day. Sorry!)

I would say this is not a place for introverts. Because of the number of people, you will need to try really hard to avoid any social interactions. In a couple of minutes, you can easily find yourself drinking sorrel shots with some new friends. And yeah, you read that right - sorrel shots. Personally, I haven't seen this anywhere ese but Belarus. Ok, maybe you've been luckier than me. But just try them here. They're gorgeous.

You can also come to Klumba on a working day or earlier on the weekend and order some food, coffee, etc.

But I suggest you follow my advice. Come here somewhere around 23:00 or midnight, and spend some time here. Don't hesitate to talk to people. 

And remember: your Zybitskaya night journey has just started.

Blincy

Great slavic pancakes

Blincy in Minsk does one thing, but they do it masterfully: pancakes! My pro-tip is to get two pancakes per person. You will be 100% full and satisfied!

Minsk Observatory

A bit of cosmic romance
