Where to eat, to go out
Where to eat for 10-15 euros in Moscow:
-UIM cafeteria: a nice place where you can enjoy russian food for 130 rb.
-My-My is a self service that you can find anywhere in Moscow, for instance on the Arbat, very close to the Poncelet.
-Lioudi kak lioudi (www.ludikakludi.com/ ), where you can eat pirogi and drink beer or tea. This is definitely one of the best cheap places in Moscow, but also one of the smallest.
-Filial (www.filialmoscow.com/ ) is a bar close to Lubianka metro station. You can start the evening here or at Bilingua (www.bilinguaclub.ru/), and then go to Krisis zhanra (www.kriziszhanra.ru/)
-FAQ Cafe (www.faqcafe.ru/) is a club where you can eat and drink all the day long
-Masterskaya (www.mstrsk.ru/) is a very nice place where it is hard to find a sit. But it is worth giving a try!
-Café Maiak (www.clubmayak.ru/ ), close to the Maiakovski theater.
-The sea inside (http://morevnutri.ru/) is a very relaxing place (but not so cheap).
-Jagannath ( http://www.jagannath.ru/) isa vegetarian cantine (there are 3 of them now)
Where to go out:
-Pivbar Kamtchatka (Ulitsa Kuznetsky Most 7) is a retro-chic cantine and bar located right behind the BolchoО, where you can get cheap food (salade, sausages, toasts) and beer at a very good price (80-150rb for a pint)
-Glavpivtorg (www.glavpivtorg.ru/) is a soviet-chic restaurant and bar located closed to the Lubianka, where you can eat, drink, listen to live music.
-Gogol club (www.gogolclubs.ru/ ) is a bar where you can listen to live music (the entrance to the concert might not be free, but you can hear it well from the free part of the club).
-Krisis Zhanra or Propaganda (www.propagandamoscow.com/) are two of the most famous "cheap" clubs in Moscow.
-Solianka nightclub (http://s-11.ru/klub) is said to be now the place to go out at night.
-The wooden door (Taganskaya Ulitsa 13) is an anti-cafИ: you pay for the time you spend there, not for what you drink (2 rb/min the first hour, then 1Rb/min).
