- Inspiration
- Eternal summer with a lot of fun and dancing, this is how you can describe the atmosphere of the new Moscow Aprol bar on Bolshaya Tatarskaya street. The bright name is the basic part of the concept. The main drink on the menu is the popular summer aperitif. Moreover, knowledgeable party goers come here for authors cuisine, a trendy location in Instagram stories and a solar vibe, which Archpoint architects so carefully created.
- Research
- The space inside is designed in the style of pop art. A lot of plants, neon, a mix of different colors and large art objects transfer us to the bright picture of Warhol.
