Shopping center “Tsvetnoy” in 2012 became a real place for parties of “golden youth”. And all thanks to the opening of the Maxim bar on the roof of the center.
The restaurant quickly gained the trust and location of the Moscow elite. Youth interior, young, beautiful and energetic waiters, fashionable and delicious food - all this makes the establishment unique and so popular.
Do not confuse the bar at Maxim Gorky and Maxim - these are two different institutions. With different interiors and menus.
Overview
Bar "Maxim" on Komendantsky occupied the site of the top floor and the roof of the Tsvetnoy shopping center. This is a joint brainchild of the Ginza Project and the cult men's magazine Maxim.
In the afternoon it is a stylish family-run establishment where you can relax and eat delicious food. But in the evening the bar turns into a fun club. Many beautiful and fashionable people, decent alcohol and European snacks fill this restaurant.
The Maxim bar at 15 Tsvetnoy Boulevard, Building 1, is very easy to find. The building has convenient parking for cars.
The bar simply attracts advanced youth and the bohemian city. The space of the institution is divided into zones, so you can retire and talk calmly in it.

The closest station is Tsvetnoy Boulevard, which is located within walking distance of the shopping center. From Trubnaya metro station to Tsvetnoy shopping center in Moscow, you need to walk a little more than 300 meters. If you move on your own transport along Sadovaya Street to the stop "Samotechnaya Ploshchad" or along Petrovsky Boulevard to the stop "Metro Trubnaya", then you will arrive at the desired point.
The best specialists in their field, Francesca Freza and Andrea Fabri, worked on interior design. It was they who managed to combine brutality and audacity with romantic and youthful motives.

There are reviews in which visitors talk about boorish behavior of staff. And although the administrator always warns about strict rules at the entrance to the institution when booking a table, embarrassment does occur. For example, not so long ago, guests from abroad, accompanied by a Russian visitor, were simply not allowed into the Maxim bar. At the same time, as witnesses confirm, the conversation between the cafe representatives was defiant.
In their reviews, restaurant customers say that in the evening they spent time at the restaurant, smoking a hookah. I really liked the quality of tobacco and the level of service staff. The dishes ordered were just perfect: squid salad, meat and cocktails.
Visitors to the rooftop veranda are very enthusiastic about the time spent here. Most people like this atmosphere when you are not in the building, but on its roof. The ordered drinks and snacks exceeded all expectations.
In their reviews, guests thank the bartender and the cook for the pleasure. Very tasty drinks (cocktails) and no less worthy dishes. Many people like to order Japanese dishes at the bar: sushi, rolls. They say that they are prepared here just fine.
Large companies that visit the Maxim bar on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in the evening are satisfied with their reviews. They say that this is the most worthy place in the city. For many, it has become a permanent establishment for entertainment and meetings with friends.
Some believe that the bar mainly works in the direction of a nightclub. That is why during the day it is very quiet and dull. Many visitors are waiting for the menu for 15 minutes. Long service on the veranda, apparently due to the fact that the waiters find it difficult to climb to the top floor. The place is quite colorful at night, but absolutely average in the daytime.
