A darker picture today, with just a few silhouettes in the red light of the pub. It still catches my eye, particularly after spending time in America, how people here freely spill out of pubs with their drinks in hands, making up for a quite unique London scene.

This is an interior of my favorite local pub, love the fact nearly every time I pop in there is someone I know already there. The pub reopened last year, being boarded off for a long while, reportedly because of the closure way back in association with the local East End gangster family, the Krays, I believe.

Lutsk pubs -Maidan and Obolon

Since I am spending so much time in Lutsk, we went checking out the local pub scene. Incidentally, I came across Noven’s pictures that perfectly show the decor of Obolon pub, the locals lovingly call it “Korablik”. Btw, the photographer has much more nice stuff on his site here. If fact I like it so much, I may have to put out his illustrated profile later here.

The pub offers sumptuous interior, styled to look like a pirate hide out. A band of an accordion, a guitar and a contrabass either wanders around the pub or performs at the stage the typical local favorites. The kitchen serves typical Ukrainian hearty meaty fare. The address is Voli prospekt ? (ask the driver for further directions :0)

Maidain is the well-established older brother pub of Korablic. Its decor is equally exiting, done more in ethnic Ukranian colyba kind of style. All major indie musical acts that come to town perform in the pub’s 2nd hall.
