El Copitas

About El Copitas

The room fills with St Petersburg professionals in their thirties and forties, a scattering of familiar faces, and visitors who have tracked the address down on Kolokolnaya Ulitsa after seeing the World's 50 Best Bars listing. Mexican cooking anchors the food side, with mezcal and agave running through the drinks list, and tables can be booked for private dining if you want the group kept apart. Doors open at 7pm Wednesday through Sunday, closing at 2am midweek and stretching to 3am on Friday and Saturday, with lounge and chill house holding the volume at conversation level. Dress is formal and the price band is the top of the local scale, so it works better as a planned evening than a walk-in — table and bottle service is the default, and the closed Mondays and Tuesdays push the whole week's demand into five nights.
