http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20463
The food menu (after you have finished looking through the vodkas) is very European-based with a Polish flavour. Borsch? Yes, it's on the menu. Goulash? Of course! Bratwurst and sauerkraut is included as expected. Come with an empty stomach as the servings are large. The service is cheery, the entertainment fun (a trio dressed as gypsies playing a violin, a piano accordion... and, of all things, a cello!) and if you really want to make a night of it, there is always the theatre next door.

Prices are reasonable and despite the alcohol, 'After the Tears' is kid-friendly. My grandkids loved their meals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20463 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18783 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18783 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11747
It's really cool because it's like a tour but with younger people on it and you get to do your own thing but have these Honchos that tell you the best places to go and cheapest way to get there.

I got to stay at a Ger camp and visit Mongolian families, it was awesome. And there's as much vodka on this trip as your belly can carry!

Going to Vietnam with them this year!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11747 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11204
That's right… Balalaika is a Russian theme bar complete with huge bust of Lenin, lots of Soviet propaganda posters, red flags and a -20 degree celcius Siberian Vodka Room complete with fur coats (on loan, not to keep. And it's fake fur by the way).

There are over 60 types and flavours of vodka to try as well as a restaurant serving up typical Russian fayre and live Russian music.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11204
