Barents Bar re-opens in Murmansk

The most notorious meeting place for foreigners in Murmansk changed its owners.

Today there was held an opening of an upgraded Barents Bar, an informal meeting place for both idle travellers and businessmen (mostly Norwegian). Located within the walls of Park Inn Poliarnie Zori, the Barents Bar was earlier owned by private Russian investors.

The opening ceremony took neither solemn speeches nor photo shoots. The bar remains as cozy and informal as it has always been.

The hotel, as a new owner of the bar, did repainting and cleaning works, updated the menu and introduced a new music tradition – live jazz on Saturday afternoons.
