Yes, you were not mistaken, this is the Internet Planet Internet Club (St. Petersburg, Chapaev St., 1). And this is the "Colonial Bar", located on the first floor. Of the many rooms of the club I want to linger here. The interior is so unusual that it is rather difficult to characterize it. At first glance, it looks like a bomb shelter with an arsenal of weapons and food supplies for an indefinite period. Then fantasy directs us to romantic adventures, exotic journeys of European colonizers to unknown lands. According to the architects, the bar counter is a reinforced concrete reinforcement with embrasures, in which shelves with colonial goods are placed. The intrigue continues. The whole room is divided into zones-catacombs, where, perhaps, hidden treasures. The 900 kilogram cannon serves as a table, and the barrels of powder are chairs. So, here, lovers of thrills and all the extreme can not only fully satisfy the gastronomic needs, but also dissolve into the harsh, but romantic atmosphere of adventure.
