Nice place as for big company same for family. Good choice of drinks including draft beer. Evening parties with bbq and really interesting and fanny actions. Strongly recommended.
I recently visited the restaurant "Friends" and was impressed! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cozy and friendly, which makes it a great place to meet friends or have a family dinner. The interior is stylish, with a thoughtful design that creates a comfortable mood.
The menu is varied and offers both traditional dishes and interesting author's positions. We tried several appetizers, main courses and desserts — everything was very tasty! I was especially pleased with the seafood and steak — they were perfectly cooked. The service is also at the highest level: the waiters are polite, attentive and always ready to help with the choice.
The prices are reasonable for such quality. The only thing is, it can be noisy during rush hours, but this is natural for popular places.
In general, Friends is a great place to have a good time with delicious food and good service. I will definitely come back here again! I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a cozy restaurant in Minsk!
The place is certainly cool, pretentious. The cuisine is very tasty, it's expensive, but it's worth it. Beautiful original setting. A great place to have a good time with friends. However, the beer was a little disappointing. It's sour and it looks carbonated. You need to be careful with him. Good live music, but not enough space on the dance floor for so many visitors. There are also problems with paying by card. I had to go to an ATM and withdraw cash. But overall a good place. I recommend
A great, atmospheric place
We really liked absolutely everything, all the guests were very satisfied
The institution itself is very large, with three floors, there is an elevator for the convenience of guests, very beautiful, a lot of guests (which indicates that the institution is in demand) it was interesting to see that there are women's tights on sale, it was nice to realize that they take care of the guests here to the smallest detail)) great live music , dancing and having fun , it seems to me all the guests of the restaurant
We had a table on the 3rd floor, it was perfect, the table was kind of isolated, we didn't bother anyone, and no one bothered us , there was a TV right above our table where live music was broadcast, you could watch without leaving, or go down to the dance floor, the music didn't interfere with talking in any way
There is a good photographer, it turned out great shots, thank you)
The kitchen is gorgeous, everything is very tasty, fresh, large portions, (the pate conquered everyone)))))
And of course, the best thing that can be is the staff, the staff is perfect, completely customer-oriented, tuned only to positive emotions
Special thanks to the administrator Ekaterina, the kindest-hearted girl, initially when booking the table, Ekaterina greeted us so cordially, sincerely with a sincere smile, helped with the preparation of the menu, with the choice of a drink, answered all our questions (this is very important when you are greeted so sincerely that you immediately want to stay, because the first impression is very important) On the day of our event, Ekaterina also repeatedly asked how we were doing, and if everything was in order, it was very pleasant))
And, thanks very much to our waiter Anton, he served our table perfectly, looked after all the guests, cleaned dirty dishes, napkins in a timely manner, brought drinks, was always in our field of course, thank you very much, we were very pleased that it was Anton who served our table)
The holiday was a great success, everyone really liked everything)))) we will definitely come to taste your beer))))) Thank you very much for your hard work
Convenient location on Kulman street, parking. A beautiful authentic building, the internal architecture is complex and interesting - a lot of cozy multi-level lounges allows a huge number of people not to cross each other while being in the restaurant at the same time. The menu is the widest, the quality of the food is excellent. The choice of flavors is for any discerning or not so gourmet. The volume of portions is large. The beer is excellent. After 19.00 on Fri, Sat - live music.
If you choose a great pastime without the slightest fear that it will be tasteless or uninteresting, then you are in "Friends".
Have a wonderful holiday! Enjoy your meal!
P.S. be sure to take deep-fried cheese sticks (made of mozzarella)))...
I celebrated my Birthday at the end of November🥳 Everything was at a high level, the guests were delighted😍 Pleasant atmosphere, rousing music, delicious food, we were served by a waiter named Vladimir👍🏻
There was a photographer who took professional photos absolutely for free, which a few days later could be found in a VK group and saved as a keepsake.
For me, it's a place where it's consistently good, fun, and delicious.🤌🏻
I must also say that people make any place, whether it's a fashionable restaurant or a local cafe, there were nuances during the booking confirmation, as I talked with several administrators and each apparently had their own approach, but in the end everything turned out in the best possible way.
I also want to note that in December, on a weekday, on a Monday, the Bezlimit band performed, the people on the dance floor could be counted on the fingers of two hands, but the program was as expected, performed as if for a full house🤩
The choice of food is excellent, I ordered duck, borscht, beer snacks, duck is a large portion, side dishes are all great, the beer from my brewery is very tasty - the lager is excellent, the dark is like fire, although I am very picky about beer, the pleasant atmosphere of a large restaurant, there is an opportunity to talk, as the area with music and stage It is separated from the location of the tables, the music is live - they sing great. Staff - no complaints, there is a separate smoking room. In short, I got it.
I've known this place for a long time, and there are many good memories associated with it. on the positive side, it's good cuisine, reasonable prices. the staff knows their job and always performs it well. cover bands perform. I love live music.
one of the disadvantages is the visitors. Because of the affordable alcohol, they get drunk quickly, and they stagger on the dance floor like white walkers. The last time I had time to blink, one of the visitors vomited all over the stairs from top to bottom. It's not the staff's fault, of course, they cleaned up the vomit quickly, but that's it... for an amateur.
Well, the program starts at nine in the evening, you have to yell, you won't talk much. This must be taken into account.
I was there this summer, a chic restaurant with live music. Three floors, there is also a veranda. The cuisine is delicious, the portions are large! If something is cooked wrong, there is always a gift from the chef! I ate a delicious author's pastry from the chef "cheesecake". The portions were so huge that they took a lot with them. I can pack food for you with me. There are festivals every week and there are special dishes for it! We took this and it turned out to be a lot for a company of 4 people! Because it includes several dishes: from appetizers to dessert! We really liked it. And we ate delicious food and danced!🤗
A great place for any kind of event! Spacious halls, a stage, entertainment programs, an indoor karaoke area and many locations for boarding various groups of guests. For lovers of beer and fresh air, there is an outdoor beer bar near the park area. As for the service and cuisine, everything was always delicious and at a decent level during all our visits to this institution. Well done guys! We wish them good luck!🌟
We were there on Friday night. The waiters are friendly and welcoming, the order was delivered super quickly. Everything that was ordered was very tasty, the portions were large, and I liked the beer too. My husband is delighted with the knuckle and dark beer.
The room is spacious, 3 floors, the distance between the tables is quite comfortable, you do not have to sit closely. The interior is pleasant, the overall impression is very positive.
We will definitely come back when we are in Minsk.
Excellent brewery restaurant. A very creditable beer of its own production. There are many halls on several levels, a karaoke club in a separate room, delicious cuisine, business lunches, live music in the evening and a good dance program on weekends. Come at any time - you won't regret it.
One plus for the kitchen, very tasty and quick return.
The second one is for audio equipment
And the third one is for the service. The waiters are great.
- for the prices. Of course, the paid entrance to karaoke is too big.
- and minus leading karaoke. Not only does it take a very long time for the queue to sing, but there are always extra-paid songs that, in fact, their friends sing for free. So they also knock down terribly with their singing
On August 26, the family celebrated their birthday, they were very satisfied with the dishes and live music and the prices are pleasant and the main service is that the waiters are an excellent friendly company at the table they watch instantly and any of them passing by removes used dishes and always ask what else you want. At prices, it turned out to be great to eat with cognac for 100 rubles per person - very acceptable.
And what a beautiful park area around for selfies, even a small monument of the legendary Mimino.
In general, we are grateful to the friendly staff of this restaurant for a great time!!!
Anastasia Volodina Friends
We have been to the restaurant more than once, the impressions are different, but yesterday's dinner was a success. All the dishes are delicious: the taste is exquisite, the presentation is beautiful. Many thanks to the boss and his team!
Special thanks to Anastasia Volodina for her professional service: she is very attentive, does everything quickly, unnoticeably and with a smile. Also, grilled dorado is easily "stripped" of skin and bones! We had dinner with great pleasure 😁
A big good restaurant. Visited it repeatedly. A great place to meet friends and family. Good cuisine and beautiful serving of dishes. Good music. Relatively inexpensive. Friendly and helpful staff.
Good atmosphere, pleasant atmosphere, kitchen for a solid 4. Not a gourmet, but in some dishes with the addition of sour cream (mayonnaise) there is an excessive sourness, as for me. Overall, everything is at a good level. I liked the multi-level location of the visitors, as well as the location in the center on the ground floor of the stage and the opportunity to watch the performance from the second floor. It is comfortable to listen to a live performance-well-tuned sound. Convenient Parking near the establishment.
A great restaurant! We were with friends on New Year's Eve, just gorgeous. There was a cover band, they sang and played great, the songs were great, the people around were great. I really liked everything, it's a pity we live far away. We will be happy to come back here again!
Very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff.Delicious food and a great presenter!Thanks! I recommend it for holidays with large companies. The girls sing very beautifully and sing along with the guests - it's a pleasure to listen)
Excellent karaoke bar and restaurant. We celebrated the new year. I really liked it. Good food, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. There is a TV at every table, and the sound is powerful. I really liked it. By the way, we have our own brewery.
A great bar at the local brewery. Several levels of halls, a bar, a stage and live music. There is a small museum at the brewery, where they also sell souvenirs. There are more than enough beers to choose from, the eyes will not run away from the names)) everything is delicious, there is an opportunity to try everything with tasting glasses, and for beer lovers, when ordering a whole liter (mug), a 10-bel discount.rubles (it was in May 2024, I don't know how now) I liked everything we tried for snacks. From the Russian sets and snacks that are offered in bars, it differs very much for the better.
It's a great place. Delicious and hearty dishes, pleasant interior.
The only thing that caused a seizure was the sale of photos.. I thought they were taking pictures for a report, and then you can download these photos for yourself.. but no, they print them in 20x30 format without asking and bring them to you in fact. You don't have to buy, no one forces you, but this is a cringe from the past. Moreover, they ask for 15 rubles for one photo. despite the fact that it is printed on the cheapest paper, the cost of which is 40 kopecks per sheet. In general, this is inappropriate for such an expensive place.
It's a good place. My friends recently celebrated there. Delicious food! Pleasant atmosphere. A lot of beautiful people. Musical accompaniment of the evening. Everything is fine. The photographer overshadowed the impression. I took great pictures. We bought a paper photo from him. The digital promised to be reset by e-mail. It's been a few weeks. I didn't reset anything. He didn't even reply to the messages. It's a shame! That's not how things are done!
We celebrated a corporate party at the restaurant. The food is very tasty, the snacks are very diverse and for such a level of establishment they justify their cost. Very tasty beer-based cocktails, I recommend them to everyone: light, refreshing, without harsh notes.
Overall, the place is great, we even managed to dance to live music.
The place is good. It was especially pleasant to come here earlier, when the prices were adequate. The menu is varied, they cook delicious, their own strong and non-strong drinks, their own beer. Sometimes there's live music, lots of space.
One of the best beer restaurants in Minsk. However, like all such establishments, it is very noisy. If you like silence and solitude, then this is not the place for you. And if you want to have some fun and like noisy companies, then you will be satisfied. I especially recommend the Friday and Saturday programs. In addition to beer and snacks, you will enjoy live music and lively performances. In any case, this restaurant will be remembered and you will want to return there.
It's a great place! Very tasty cuisine, huge portions, friendly staff! Sooo delicious beer from our own brewery! Live music, there is a fee for the show on weekends, but the amount is small. The cover bands are great, there's a big dance floor, you can dance or just listen to great music. We had a wonderful time there and even came back again for our little vacation! When traveling to Minsk, this place is a must-visit for me! I definitely recommend it!
Good cuisine. Pleasant, helpful staff. They always meet us halfway. I liked the interior, the atmosphere and the quality of the dishes. I didn't really like the entertainment program and the music. It's kind of monotonous (even considering that the songs were performed from different directions and generations).
It's a very pleasant place. The food is delicious, the portions are sufficient, the ribs, as many have said, are quite enough for two, the draniki are awesome for one too much, but if you take your time, under the liqueur, and there are four types, mmm, savor.
The service is fast and high-quality. The waiters are very friendly.
Music.. this evening there was a new band “Sound Lab”, they played with a bang. Half an hour playing, half an hour break. This interval has come to us. It sounds great. There are places where either you can't make out the vocals because of the music, or both are out of the bucket. It was the best place here.
The dance floor is too small.
Security.. He gets a PO for a reason,.. an incident happened (did not even happen, but originated) in the hall, it was eliminated instantly. They didn't even understand where so many of them came from.
I highly recommend visiting the company.
Since the opening, I have been visiting this place periodically. The cuisine and drinks are always of good quality and correspond to the format of the establishment. The atmosphere is cozy, the waiters are attentive. I was at a corporate party on 24/25, everything is just as good, except that the performers are on stage, I would like to have a different voice.
A great place to celebrate!) Delicious food, clear service, live music just 🔥!) We were on a weekday, and it was still fun, and even spacious for dancing! I liked the area near the establishment: benches, paths, there is a place for the company to go out to breathe.
Good old Friends are still trending.
In the kitchen, everything is as before at 5. Delicious, fast. The service is also good.
There are questions about music. The cover performs a couple of times for an hour with breaks. There are a lot of people, there is not enough space on the dance floor. There are few young people, the average age is 40-45 years.
Very tasty, good drinks, good work of the staff (well done, Vladimir!). An atmospheric place. It's better to come with a large group to chat outside of time, when cover bands are playing, which also sing like karaoke patrons.
I was celebrating my birthday with Friends. My impressions of the place are only negative. The kitchen was really good, the dishes were delicious and satisfying, but only for lovers of beer snacks, because this is still a brasserie. The male waiter's service was disgusting. I still had to manage to pay attention to the table, although it was a weekday and there were very few visitors. The performance of the Yankee cover band is just blood from the ears. How can you perform with such a repertoire and such disgusting vocal skills. I was very unpleasantly surprised that this is the first of many restaurants and cafes I have visited, where in order to wish a happy birthday with a small piece of some dessert with a candle, you need to place an order in the amount of at least 100 Belarusian rubles per person. I definitely don't want to visit this place a second time.
I've been Friends about 10 times already.
A great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, family holiday, corporate event, or just to meet friends!
Good cuisine, everything is delicious! Excellent service!
Special thanks to the FRIENDS cover band!!!
The bomb restaurant!!!! The original interior, elegant kitchen, friendly and skillful staff, live music, the band just charmed!!! Tar-tar caused my husband's gastronomic delight!))
However, we forgot the photos that we bought there .... And, unfortunately, they were not found...
We came to Minsk for a couple of days. There were no questions about where to have dinner and have a delicious dinner, because I read positive reviews about the Friends brewery restaurant. His score is 5.0. We are all different, I understand, and we all have different opinions. Mine is: a completely uncomfortable restaurant. Yes, it's huge, and that's more of a minus than a plus. Next on beer: only 3 types of beer? Are you serious? Then the dishes. Expensive, but not tasty either, that's what's amazing. It's okay, it's edible, but it's not exciting. The portions are very large, many are clearly designed for two. And the waiter could have warned about it. Instead, she just forced a couple more salads on us, which were completely unnecessary and just didn't get into us anymore. Well, the icing on the cake is the performance of a cover band with a completely unsuitable repertoire for the vocal capabilities of the soloist. The guy clearly overestimated his strength. I didn't like the place at all.
Oh! Oh! Oh!!!!.It's a magical place for good company... very good cuisine, wonderful program. Nice presenter!!.A FESTIVE atmosphere!!!! but! If you plan to chat...That's not where you're going..The music is very loud anywhere.. the service is caring and attentive...
Friends
This is not the first time in this restaurant. Right now we decided to share our impressions)
, Interior.
It is immediately impressive that this is not a rented space somewhere, but a detached building. And it's very impressive for a restaurant. I am pleased with the spaciousness, scope and atmosphere, designed in the style of a brasserie. The interior is high-quality, thematically thought out, comfortable and moderately saturated. There is even a personalized stand with personal beer mugs of regular customers, and a concert hall with a real stage for rock bands, and we just got to one of the performances)
, Food.
We celebrated our son's birthday on this day. There were 8 of us, so everyone ordered dishes of their choice, and we took advantage of this to try many dishes. None of the dishes were cooked normally, each dish had its own soul, its own zest, and they were all very tasty.
1. The borsch was not simple, but rich, rich, like homemade. With rich accompaniment in the form of bacon, onion, bread and garlic. Bomb borscht!
2. Steak - delicious, juicy, with grilled vegetables.
3. Vitello tonnato was made with good roast beef, the right tonnato sauce, delicious capers, and truffle mousse, which of course is not in the classic recipe, but which very interestingly adds a zest to the dish.
4. The venison goulash in the bread was delicious. But, as Masha says in the cartoon "Masha and the Bear": "It's delicious, but not enough")))
5. Pleskavica is a chopped Serbian steak. I didn't understand why Serbian, but it was delicious, juicy, and flavorful.
6. Draniki. Well, in such an institution, simple draniki for 5 rubles are not interesting to serve, so they were tuned with salmon, cheese mousse with horseradish, fried champignons and brisket. A 5-plus combination. I recommend it)
And all the other dishes were delicious too. There is no longer any place or time to dwell on them))) See just the photos)
🤵♂️ Service.
With a full landing? And a small number of waiters, coped quite timely, did not keep waiting. The kitchen was apparently working at its own pace. But I want to point out that if we talked with the waiter about having salad first, then soup, and then hotter, then you still don't need to bring the soup along with the hot one - this is incorrect (I hope it's not worth explaining why).
,Live music.
A cover band performed. Famous songs were sung. The lighting was excellent, and the restaurant was enlivened by adding a sparkle that evening) I even managed to order a birthday greeting for my son and a song) My son was delighted 😜
To summarize: the place is cool, the food is delicious! Come, hang out, enjoy!!!
A good restaurant. Delicious food. You can have fun with your friends. There are often promotions. It is especially advantageous to take a set. The menu is very diverse. Good service.
I love this place, every weekend my children and I relax in the street in Bigarden. Everything is super and I like the kitchen. We decided after a couple of years of such trips to go inside in an adult way and were terribly upset (
The kitchen is good, the orders arrived relatively quickly, I would even say that it was surprisingly fast. The live music was wonderful. A dance floor of wonders.
But, as it turned out, it is customary there for those tables that are high and far from the stage. They just take their food and drinks and go sit at the bar and at the tables around the column. Where people with red bracelets are already sitting. A scuffle begins. They take away the chairs, they say they have a table ordered there, they are in a more privileged position and can go down with their food and kick out those who just bought a place behind the bar. The hustle and bustle, the lack of space, it felt like we were in a country club.
+delicious food and drinks
+fast service
+the kitchen works fast
- the contingent is different, although the institution is expensive, but they can "get drunk".
-high prices, but when you see the price from 140, then the price of 25p for a salad seems to be for nothing)
-there is a lack of organization at the bar,
-if you sat down at tables on balconies in the afternoon, then you know that the waiters have probably already forgotten about you. It's better to be in sight.
We were celebrating a friend's birthday. The food is just wonderful. Own-made products have a separate Respect. The portions of the dishes are also very substantial. But the service is terrible. The waiters could not be reached, they could not wait. To ask for additional water and juices, we searched for them all over the hall. I asked to change the plate, it was just taken away and forgotten, again we were looking for someone to give us a new plate. The hosts of the banquet have the same opinion. If the establishment has such Full Houses, then it is probably necessary to expand the staff of waiters. And the dance floor is too small when there are so many visitors.
Everything is cool! Polite, correct staff. The kitchen is on top. A large selection of spirits and beer. The music program is not every day. A terrace is available in summer.
Everything is fine, wonderful, excellent!!!! The food is chic, the music is what you need, everything is awesome, the location is cool, the park, and the karaoke is wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, more friends
