Fort Ross, St. Petersburg

A cowboy saloon-bar just off Nevskii Prospect, Fort Ross sports swinging doors, country and western and rockabilly sounds, a wooden eagle perched on the bar and a stuffed, scowling wolve's head just above the dartboard. During the day however, Fort Ross feels very far from the wild west, with only a trickle of customers making the effort to sample its very well-presented and competitively-priced meals. The atmosphere in the evening is nevertheless very different and a youngish crowd can be found, quaffing beer and being entertained, perhaps by a credible-enough blues band. Open daily from noon onwards.
