    Why go

    Shortlist Books & Spirits is worth considering for cocktails and a small-plate add-on, not as a full dinner destination. The Petrovka setting, multi-room design, blues-and-jazz mood, and 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.
