Directions
A "local barkhana" next door to Atelier, opened by people from Kazakh Twitter and journalists: kurpe instead of sofas, kurt with your drinks, and cocktails like "Kurt Tanat" and "Kymyz Meyirbek". It hosts charity karaoke nights, stand-up and concert screenings, and by day it works as a coffee shop.
