It's also known as the Funny Door Bar, and it doesn't take a genius to guess why. Club goers may recognize how similar this bar is to the Hungry Duck. Consider that a warning. This Metro spot is a bit of a battlefield of alcoholism and debauchery. Agregat is a very small, 24-hour bar with a single pool table and a wild attitude. The security guard is a mystery in such a low-end bar and until things get going it's hard to imagine why he's there at all, let alone why he needs a bullet proof vest.

To be fair it rarely seems to get violent but occasionally customers need a little help figuring out when to give up and go home. There's also a tendency for ladies of dubious virtue to call in.

The toilet is not fun, but the atmosphere is; few places have such a feeling of life and, surprisingly, the questionable nightclub clientele tends to mingle here a little too much. This is a very cheap bar with beers going for as little as 15 rubles, while the snacks are purely there to help with the vodka (11 rubles). The Turkish coffee for 18 rubles is remarkable.

Agregat is the perfect place to learn about the other, untamed side of this wild city.
