Harat's Pub - Almaty

Harat's Pub in Nurly Tau is one of the best bars in Almaty with very good and huge choice of beers on draught and bottled. Unfortunately, sometime there is a lack of some snacks and beers from the list, nevertheless, most of the time atmosphere in this pub is very friendly and fun.

Good bar with a wide beer selection. Unfortunately a lot at not in stock. Friendly enough. Quite hard to find. Google location is wrong

Harat’s Irish? Pub. Replace “Irish” with “British” or even Russian. Torn between rating this pub with a 2 or a 4 so settled with a 3. The pub describes itself as an Irish pub but there is not one Irish beer available. No Guinness though they use the name in one of their food menu items look photos. They have Guinness beer mats and signs but NO Guinness. No Irish beer! A few Irish whiskeys but more from Scotland and other countries. Also a BIG minus is that this pub displays 2 British flags in comparison to 1 Irish flag. Lots of Russian football team scarfs catering to the mostly Russian clientele. A good selection of craft beers. There are 2 main rooms one smoking and one non smoking, though you have to walk through the smoking section to reach the non smoking section. Even though I am a smoker I would suggest to change this. Customers in the pub appeared lively and having a good time. Appeared to be limited staff on duty though worked efficiently enough to not cause big delays when waiting to order. From previous comments I ordered the chicken wings not bad not great. Without the sauce very ordinary. On google they advertise as closing at 2am but the barman was calling last orders at 11:30pm. Overall not bad but I wouldn’t classify it as an Irish pub for the 1 Irish flag it displays and NO Irish beer.

Which they had an Irish or at least an English person working there, didn't understand me but we got there in the end so I had a German beer

Second time there. First time was in May of 2016. it was great, good food, good beer. Stopped by with some friends on Saturday night. The place was empty. Bartender was drunk and unprofessional. We did a u turn and left. Have absolutely no desire to go back.
