Fortune telling in coffee grounds, voodoo bar and secret room: 5 mystical places on the map of Moscow

Simple divination on tarot cards no longer surprises anyone. But predictions about a bar with a coffee grounds and voodoo atmosphere are another story. Apparently, there are too many mystical places on the map of Moscow. And no, we’re not talking about places where there is a single magic glass ball to show you what to do. Rather, we are talking about secret rooms and secret bars that are not always shown on maps.

We’ve put together five mystical institutions in Moscow that must be visited this weekend.

Marie Laveau

The name of the place speaks for itself. Marie Laveau is a room bar with a voodoo atmosphere. You won’t find any minimalism here. The team brought decor and furniture from vintage shops and stores in France. There is a voodoo altar in the middle of the bar and the interior is complemented by old lamps, candlesticks and handmade pottery.

Several times a week, the bar holds meetings with fortunetellers – astrologers, tarot readers and numerologists. And honestly, the atmosphere is conducive to learning as much as possible about yourself with the help of otherworldly forces.

Cafe de Magic

By the way, in a cozy cafe in the Bolshaya Dmitrovka district, which is also an antique shop, each visitor is offered to pull out a card of the day. In the institution, you can taste the drinks and cakes of the authors, as well as listen to the recordings.

Well, if the predictions of the cards are not enough for you, you can find (literally) advice on how to proceed in the cafe. Here you can also buy a secret book with a surprise inside: It is glued on Kraft paper and you will only know what kind of work it is after you open the package. In the coffee shop itself, they say it will lure you into the book you need most.

“Magic Coffee”

“Magic Coffee”, also “Coffee and Tarot”, is the main place in Moscow where they tell fortunes on cards. Here you can not only order an order, but also fortune-telling on coffee grounds and try a drink that fulfills your dreams. The main concept of the coffee shop is eco-friendly card interpretation. They don’t give scary predictions here and don’t let go of the script until they’re sure you get all the requests answered.

“We don’t hire prophets. Why do we need a person who truly sees what will happen tomorrow? We transfer an adult position to clients, which means that only one person decides what their future will be like. We only interpret symbols and tarot cards. These are different things, ”says the founder of the coffee house, Katerina Larina, in our article about fortune-telling on cards.

Address: St. Petrovka, 30/7

Black Swan

Black Swan is a pub in Kitay-Gorod that looks more like an antiques shop to be honest. And according to the owners, there is not a single interior detail in the design of the resort that is less than 100 years old. Now imagine how many stories each of them hides in itself.

This bar even has its own secret room, which is a hundred times easier to find than in Harry Potter. And this isn’t the only room inside the Black Swan. There are also rooms painted with flowers, fully mirrored rooms, and even a room with a fireplace.

Address: Solyanka, 1/2

“Cabin 3.14”

“Cabinet 3.14” is located in Moscow, operating in the basement of the “Eliseevsky store” on Nevsky Prospekt, St. Petersburg bar is a secret bar developed according to the concept of “Cabinet”. Firstly, this place is not so easy to find: to get into the bar, you first need to book a table through the number found in the profile description on the banned social network. Secondly, it is also impossible to tell friends about this place on the Web – phone cameras are sealed at the entrance to the bar.

You can choose drinks using tarot cards. They will serve the cocktail corresponding to the item you choose. Usually the evening will pass as the card drops.
