Shamrock

Acceptable place to eat/get drinks at before going to the Mariinsky theater. That said, compared with most other places, nothing else to recommend it besides location.

Nice pub with a nice Irish environment. But nobody of the staff speaks English in an Irish pub? Cmon guys... Apart from that a good place to have some drinks.

Great bar, great service, but don't ask the staff to order you a taxi, gypsy taxi came and charged 4 times the cost of hotel taxi to take me there!!! Bad staff I think.

A touch of Ireland in a Russian cellar. We stopped there for a lunch. The atmosphere is pleasant in a nice surrounding. The food itself is not extraordinary however it's the right place to have a drink.

Stopped in for some lunch after walking all over St. Petersburg that morning. I think we were the first customers of the day. The two employees there - a hostess/waitress and cook - were both very friendly and spoke enough English that we were able to communicate. The food and service were great. Would recommend stopping in while you're in town.
