Red Bar on the twenty-seventh floor of the Moscow Tower 2000 (Taras Shevchenko Emb., d. 23a) - exceptionally beautiful place. The red one is only one wall, the other is completely transparent, revealing an incredible view of the sunset and evening city. The bar is deliberately not opened until six in the evening: from a glamorous establishment and the view should be glamorous. Obviously, such an arrangement is a gift to the architect. The author of the Red Bar, Mikhail Ponomarev, ordered the gift more than worthily: the semicircular gallery with ebony stand and soft red leather sofas resemble the best examples of American Art Deco - penthouses and luxurious establishments of Manhattan. A fantastic silver grand piano from Luigi Colani seems appropriate here, and it is not surprising that mirrored fake glass from any point reflects at least one Moscow high-rise. The space turned out seasoned, respectable and bold. In addition, it seems, "Red Bar" put an end to the unofficial competition of Moscow restaurants on the design of toilet rooms. Having ingeniously positioning the urinals, as they say, "facing the city", here every successful male citizen was given the opportunity to feel a moment, but absolute superiority over the crowd.
