It is one of the most popular bars in Almaty. Good place for socializing. Food and drink quality is also good.
Face control at the entrance. It is sometimes anoying since they do not have a stable face control system. Depending on the mood they may even reject the continuos clients.
Other than this minus for the bar everything is good.
"Jabberwocky in Almaty is a true delight for gourmets and connoisseurs of a cozy atmosphere. An exquisite menu, a rich variety of drinks, and excellent service make this place unique. The cozy interior, attentive staff and a great selection of dishes create excellent conditions for pleasant evenings. A great place to meet friends or have romantic dinners. Jabberwocky is a real gem of urban gastronomy in Almaty!"
The place is interesting, the cocktails are pleasant, the music is not bad. Of the obvious disadvantages, the only thing is that the tables are cleaned for too long. Why is there one star?
We arrived at the Park Live festival, after which we decided to drop into a bar that was pleasant according to the description. At the entrance, we were met by not very friendly guards who said that there were no seats even behind the bar (although it was visible from the window that there were places). It was decided to wait. The time is 1:40.
After the security started the company of friends and 10 people had already left, we clarified whether it made sense to wait. The guard shook his head negatively, and after a minute his colleague suggested that he move away. Outside the camera area, he offered to enter for 10 thousand tenge per person. The time is about 2:00.
In order not to spoil the weekend, I gave 20 thousand and went with my wife. They drank and left. These guys spoiled the mood at the entrance, the bar lost revenue, and we lost time.
Date: night from September 7th to 8th.
If you need more details, write an email here, I will describe the situation in more detail.
The prices are expensive compared to other similar clubs and it is not very comfortable inside, in general, I did not really like it. Although I very rarely go to such places
The best cocktails from the best cocktail bar)) everything is very atmospheric and the veranda is wonderful. A cocktail on koumiss is out of competition. This bar was an opening and definitely a favorite among the establishments as part of a trip to Almaty.
A great bar with its own atmosphere, delicious not only a variety of drinks, but it is quite possible to have a tasty snack. We had a great rest. I liked the place.
I flew in with a friend from Moscow, I wanted to visit this institution and was refused at the entrance. Thank you Kazakhstan for the "warm welcome". I do not recommend this club.

The bar is good, the music is playing loudly, so you can take your mind off your business and calmly drink whatever you want. There are guards, which is also good, they are being searched for our safety!
I don't know the prices, we paid for the whole table at once, like the norms.
The establishment has strange principles.
It was completely empty.
We wanted to have a couple of cocktails.
The receptionist came up and said that the table was available on condition that we spend $ 120 for three people.
We didn't come to get drunk, but to have 1-2 cocktails...in an empty one...an empty place.
The average check, if you do not infringe on yourself per person, is about 30-40 thousand, in general, the atmosphere is not bad, the dances inside, outside are peaceful, calm, just to have a good company. You can smoke only on the street, they drink and walk inside) they cook quite well, we got a very rich assortment of fruits, but later those who ordered others became a little more scarce. What surprised me the most... all the drunken and cheerful were those who drank gin and tonic, and we drank two bottles of wine, 2 glasses of whiskey, 3 shots of tequila for 3 people and only one got drunk🤣 we need to take gin and tonic😄 the music is diverse, from the 90s to 2023, although the waiters "carried" cigarettes to us 5 times, but they didn't inform, so we had to go to the bar ourselves. Thank God the legs were still walking😆 the contingent of 25 and older, the public is also normal😉 in general, there are minuses and pluses everywhere. I liked.
Just the best cocktail bar I've ever visited!!!! The staff is on fire, it is fashionable to prepare a cocktail yourself in a special area with an open bar. The dance floor is on the ground floor.
The service is decent, that's the truth from Alice, as they wrote here, there is nothing special.. The horsemeat steak is a bit harsh, I would say. They wrote about the meeting here, it seems to start right before the opening for some reason)) I arrived around 6, it was over within half an hour, but the "bar" was brought quickly. So plan ahead…But the overall atmosphere is pleasant
A super party place, a Dj is playing, the music inside is loud enough, it's quieter on the fly. It's packed on Wednesdays and Fridays.
For those who want to sit quietly, it is not quite suitable.
But the top cocktail list, the guys behind the bar know their stuff.
The restrooms are decent, the food is not bad.
A hookah for ~ 15 thousand tenge is a small bowl and not a single change of coals, in terms of price-quality ratio, in the worst place that I have met.. Hoogarden beer is on the menu, they bring absolutely transparent beer. When asked if it was definitely Hoogarden, the waiter left and did not return.
A good place, adequate people. Normal security work.
The price tag is above average, which cuts off most of those who want to visit such a place.
There are a lot of arrogant girls who look at me like g... but, but in general, after 1-2 glasses of cocktails or tequila, I don't care about it.

There is often no place in the wardrobe, which is extremely inconvenient.
It is also inconvenient that smoking is allowed on the 2nd floor, you have to wash and wash your clothes after the bar, because then everything stinks of cigarette smoke throughout the apartment.
In general, everything is OK, but the place is small and if you don't take a place at the bar, you will be tormented to buy something.
We wanted to have a cocktail on Thursday evening, we were told that the deposit was $90
Do not go to Kazakhstan, it is not very hospitable!
Come to Belarus, everyone is kind)
I come here often. Great cocktails. Delicious food. Great atmosphere, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Fun and friendly. The only thing that bothers is the ability to smoke. The second floor is more cheerful, but at night everything is filled with smoke. The ground floor is non-smoking, but tobacco smoke from the 2nd floor also penetrates it. Otherwise, the best place in the city!
For the music, super like. Special thanks for the decor, too. But the security is something, for the fact that I entered the institution in outerwear, I was asked as a client ..... Well, is this normal, allegedly they asked me to take off my clothes at the entrance. I can honestly say that no one approached me personally. I do not exclude that they may have said when I passed the entrance, but the music is loud, plus, as everyone knows, the crowd of people and loud conversations of customers, and of course I was under the same degree. Then a man comes up to me and says take off your clothes without even introducing yourself, and of course I say no. As a result, I went out with this person and that's it, they told me that I would not come in anymore. Is this normal?
The bar is in a good location. Pleasant atmosphere and atmosphere. Closer to the bar with elements of a nightclub.
A good selection of drinks and dishes, the quality is on the level.
There are a lot of people on weekends. They may not let you in without a reserve.
Of the cons, the music is too loud and it turns out to be something in between a restaurant and a club, but "neither this nor that". It is impossible to sit and talk because of the music, it is difficult to dance because there is not enough space.
The dress code is that sandals and crocs are not allowed in the institution (and girls are allowed). 4 guards can't even explain which table they can sit at (and almost all of them were free)
We just went to dinner with colleagues, we didn't guess the concept a bit. After all, this is the bar you need to go to after 11. At 8 p.m. there is already loud music, but no one is there. The food is delicious, with an interesting presentation. The service is not very fast, periodically everyone disappears somewhere.
I know the place has a great reputation, but our experience of coming here was disappointing.
We arranged a trip to the bars: so that we could visit different ones, sit for a short time and go further. We started with the Jabberwocky.
The space itself is huge and stylish, the music sounds great - there are no questions about these things.
But the attitude of the employees spoiled everything. Starting with the fact that when we arrived at 19:00 and it turned out that starting at 21:00 the tables were all booked, we were not offered to sit this time before the start of the reservation. It's strange, the institution doesn't need customers so much that it can be empty for two hours instead of inviting people, but to discuss that there is a time limit (we stayed less than an hour in the end)?
We ourselves eventually offered them this option, and the girl at the entrance reluctantly agreed (what's the logic?).
The waiters also work impressively - they sit in a corner, communicate with each other, pay zero attention to visitors until you start waving your hands at them like a man at the airport who shows flags where the plane is going. In general, there is a complete feeling that you are not particularly welcome and in general everyone is on chill, on the couch, and here some customers are walking around, asking for a menu)
The food we took was OK, but there are complaints about cocktails - a friend was brought a cocktail with such a serving that you don't really feel alcohol, but there is so much ice that it is impossible to drink - pieces of ice roll down on your face when you drink)) it's original, of course, but which genius came up with it and did he try to drink what he cooked himself?)
in general, we are disappointed with the experience, it seems that it is the human factor and the general indifference of employees that spoils everything. We are unlikely to come a second time.
A cozy place!We rested there on Halloween, it was beautifully decorated inside, but there were a lot of people!But we had fun, and that's the most important thing)))
Probably one of the best places in the city for those who are looking for adventure))
You can easily find companions for the evening. A great outdoor area... the music is good, there is a place to shake the body.
Noisy, pretentious, a bunch of seagulls and nontraditionals. The prices are high. In general, it is a platform for renting and renting
It's impossible to just drink and eat. You don't have time to finish your mug, you turn away, and there's already a new mug.
As a result, they drank only nothing, did not eat, - 70 thousand
It's not a bad place, but it's completely empty on weekdays evenings, although the poster was with musicians. Food and stuff are on the level. It's better to come on weekends.
The place is very good, but the security is something. It's not the first time I've come, everything is calm, they take me out and don't let me in anymore, or the dress code allegedly didn't pass at all.
A very atmospheric place in the city. Excellent cuisine, music and an audience. Meeting place) pleasant interiors , fast service. I recommend you to visit!
I was here on 08.12.2023, I didn't like it, the hall is dark and not particularly cozy. The music is constant and loud. The guards are not well-mannered and rude.
To top it off, the evening was completely ruined by the police and the drug enforcement administration. Apparently this is an institution with a certain reputation.
The bar is quite atmospheric, but too hyped and overrated. The prices are too high, the waiters tried to deceive us and included in the bill what we did not order. Be careful.
When ordering a whiskey-cola cocktail, a whole decanter of whiskey was brought. There was no way to return it, because the waiters did not come to the table anymore. When paying the bill, she asked why there was such a portion of whiskey, to which the waiter began to rudely explain that this is how they work in decent establishments, it's like crossing the road to a green light, blah blah blah. When I asked, "so I'm a redneck? I don't know how decent establishments work?", the waiter grinned and left. Great service, what can I say. They were also rude. I like the atmosphere of the place, we like to dance there, but I don't want to come anymore.
We accepted reservations on 01.01.2024 at the time of 01:00, but in fact they were closed! My friends and I arrived and it's closed, why write that we made a reservation!
And only when they arrived at the place did they find out that they were not working that night
It's a great bar... I liked it first of all because of the music! The DJ is on the right wavelength... What's not a track is so rocking.
Excellent hookahs, bought a dozen 2 hookahs and there was no way to find fault with any of them.
I haven't tried the food, I can't say anything. The bar is good, the assortment is also excellent.
My version of Jabberwocky (Barmy people) is a great cocktail with friends before dinner. It is for the sake of the quality of the cocktail, the professionalism of the bartenders and the atmosphere that I am not too lazy to drop in for a couple of glasses, although dinner is planned elsewhere.
During rush hours for Barma (Friday/Saturday after 22:00), I'm not a special walker, but they say that even then it's super fun. It's just not my format anymore, it's more noisy and clubby.
