Where to eat after the opera in Kazan: a grill bar a three-minute walk from the Jalil Theatre

Performances at the Tatar Opera and Ballet Theatre named after Musa Jalil start at 18:00. Brown Bear Grill & Bar is across the street at 54/1 Pushkin Street — about 270 metres from Svobody Square, a 3–4 minute walk. The bar is open until midnight from Monday to Thursday and until 01:00 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, so there is time for a full dinner after the final curtain.

How to find us

Leave the theatre onto Svobody Square, turn into Pushkin Street — the BROWN BEAR grill&bar sign is visible from the corner. Street entrance, ground floor. If you came by car, parking at the bar is free.

If the show is over but the match is not

There is a screen in every room, including the VIP room, with stereo sound. This week's list is in Matches of the week (in Russian); ask when booking which match is on. Between periods: table football at the bar, board games and game consoles.

Coming with a group

For a group there is a VIP room: a long table, its own screen and a waiter assigned to your group for the whole evening. Terms depend on the format — see Parties and VIP. On premiere nights it is wise to book during the day.
