We could’ve said how Podil is the heart of Kiev, how it’s utterly vibrant, vivacious, and other pretentious words; how it’s a place where you get to meet the real underground city life, but we won’t waste your time telling you this. That is the first thing you notice when you arrive there. What we’d like to say, is that you definitely should arrive there, be it a mid-winter morning or a long summer night. Podil is simultaneously ages old and ever-young. It’s a whirl of beautiful places popping up every few months right around the XII-century churches and the oldest university in Eastern Europe.
The favorite place where you take your shoes off.
Kiyv’s best underground party place.
Astounding composition created by French and Ukrainian artists.
Druzi means Friends in Ukrainian. The name is telling enough and the staff does their best to keep up to it. Simple yet delicious food, seasonal menus, outdoor terrace, and a place to spend the night. DreamHouse hostel is right next to the cafe and offers great accommodation in one of the most beautiful and popular streets in Kiev.
