MEDOVARUS Art Lab

MEDOVARUS Art Lab is a bar and restaurant on Muchnoy Pereulok in central St Petersburg, bringing a steampunk-inspired setting together with contemporary dining and drink-making. The venue is designed as a working expression of the MEDOVARUS style, with a handmade interior, industrial details and decorative elements drawn from different places. Demonstration brewing vessels form part of the setting, giving the bar a visible connection to craft production.

The drinks are prepared on site and include house creations associated with honey and cider making. The bar’s character comes from the combination of an experimental brewing atmosphere and a restaurant layout, making it suitable for an evening centred on drinks, food or both. The steampunk theme is present in the room itself rather than being limited to decorative references, creating a distinctive backdrop for social visits and events.

The kitchen serves contemporary European dishes made with fresh, natural ingredients. Food preparation and presentation are overseen by the kitchen team, with the menu positioned around straightforward produce and restaurant-style cooking. The venue therefore works for diners looking for a full meal as well as for those stopping in for a drink and something to eat.

Art Lab also functions as an events space. Its programme includes live music, creative evenings, tastings and other formats, with activities aimed at different interests. Event-led visits can offer a livelier experience, while the bar and restaurant format also supports a more conventional meal or drinks outing. The changing programme makes it worth checking the schedule when planning a visit.

MEDOVARUS Art Lab is located at Muchnoy Pereulok, 5, within the central city area. Its combination of handmade steampunk design, visible brewing equipment, house drinks and European food gives the venue a clear identity without separating the bar experience from the restaurant. It suits visitors interested in craft beverages, themed interiors, fresh European cooking and cultural or social events in central St Petersburg.
