I have never seen so many bottles of whiskey in one place!  This is a pretty classy venue, with unique dishes and knowledgeable wait staff and, obviously, loads and loads of whiskey options.  Prices are more Western than the Ukrainian norm, but its appropriate to the venue.  A must-visit if you like whiskey!

Podil is an AWESOME neighborhood of Ukraine that's crammed to the gills with great restaurants and cafes and bars.  3B just happens to be one of them where I took a photo!  Burgers are all the rage in Kyiv right now, and this is one of many places that features them on the menu and does a darn good job making them.  Decent beer selection too, and decent prices.
