Co-op Garage Saint Petersburg
Your party parking space
You're wandering around Saint Petersburg and suddenly run into a party yard. The place is hidden from extra eyes, but it is easy to find if you really want to. Co-op garage is a cafe with an original menu and a variety of drinks.
It is located in an old red-brick building. It used to be an industrial facility but now, following the world trend, it has successfully become a great location for modern places.
What I especially like about Garage is how the space is organized. The yard is big enough to host a big party or a concert, which by the way take place from time to time. The cafe itself occupies a big space; I like to sit near the floor-to-ceiling windows, watch what happens outside or be a part of it because I can just come out through the window.
You should try the local pizza: it comes with unexpected combinations of toppings like peach and ham or pumpkin and gingerbread. The rest of the menu is also worth trying, from main courses to desserts.
Garage is not just about food. It is an interesting place where anything can happen. One day you can just have a meal and another day you can catch a mind-blowing party that you're going to remember. My advice - hit the lottery.
