Gagarin ГАГАРИН - Parma

Shabby, dirty and very confusing place. Highly not recommended! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Place where you go after dinner, generally to drink cocktails or beer. Very popular with young people, especially university students. Live musicians often perform. It's not very big so most customers stop outside where there are a few tables. Price per person: €10–20 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Super chill spot. It's not totally in the center, but still in a great location. It's in a little courtyard where there are a few other bars nearby, which we tried going to but we just ended up back at Gagarin. We were there in August, which just means we missed all the cool events they do. But, it was still pretty cool, there were people around our age (mid to late 20s) just hanging out, talking. The Italian courtyard aesthetic with the Italian youth created a nice atmosphere. All the workers spoke English, so we talked to a couple of them about Parma and other stuff, they were very nice and open. The cocktails were on point! My partner kept getting Negronis the entire Italy trip and he said this place made the best one. I had Aperol spritz. They also had a signature drink with some black liquid which I tried that was good as well. Recommend if you're looking for a chill night. The only thing I'll say is that it's styled after a Soviet bar which is cool (I am Russian and studied Soviet graphic design so I was happy to see all this) BUT I wish there was some infused vodka on the menu lol maybe some balalayka nights or something. Otherwise, the only thing that makes it Soviet are the decorations. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
