Shortlist Books & Spirits
Tverskoy District, Moscow
Bar in Moscow, Russia
Book with PearlWhy go
Shortlist Books & Spirits works for cocktails and a small-plate add-on, not as a full dinner destination. The Petrovka setting, multi-room design, blues-and-jazz mood, illustrated cocktail booklet make it a strong low-key date or small-group bar, while the food is better treated as support for the drinks.

Shortlist Books & Spirits is a Moscow venue with a verified $$ price range and casual dress code.
The smart order is to verify details before you go
The clearest confirmed guidance is practical: expect a $$ venue in Moscow where casual dress is appropriate.
If you are deciding whether to make it part of an evening, treat Shortlist Books & Spirits as one Moscow option whose exact experience should be confirmed close to your visit. This listing does not have confirmed information on lunch, dinner service, takeout, delivery, dietary accommodations, or reservations.
For broader Moscow planning, keep our full Moscow bars guide and our full Moscow restaurants guide open before committing the whole evening here.
This listing works well as a lightly documented option
Because the data is limited, it would be misleading to describe the room, crowd, music, seating, or service style in detail. The grounded take is simple: Shortlist Books & Spirits is in Moscow, sits in the $$ range, calls for casual dress.
That makes it a candidate to consider if those basics match your plan. If atmosphere, accessibility, outdoor seating, a specific drinks program, or a particular food offering matters, confirm those details directly before going.
Who should consider it, who should skip
Consider Shortlist Books & Spirits if you are looking at Moscow venues in the $$ range and want a casual dress-code setting. Skip making firm plans around it if you need specifics on menu, hours, seating, awards, or service format before choosing a place.
