Overall, a disappointing experience at this establishment. It’s okay for a quick, spontaneous bite, but nothing more.
1) Food Selection: 4/5 – The variety of food is decent, but nothing extraordinary.
2) Drinks: 2/5 – The drink options were very limited and underwhelming.
3) Staff: 3/5 – Service was mediocre; the staff didn’t seem very attentive or welcoming.
4) Atmosphere: 3/5 – The ambiance was just average, lacking any notable charm or comfort.
Wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re in a rush and have no better options nearby.

My friend and I decided to visit the jar on Yolksan. We usually rest at the Bank on Makataeva and Kirova Streets, but it has closed on Kirova.
About the Jar of Egg Yolk. Convenient location in the center, security guards at the entrance with detector devices against all sorts of bad things. In general, security is good.
There are a lot of seats, the establishment can be said to be large. Large bar counter. There is a dance floor and musical equipment for live performances by musicians.
The toilets are clean, there is liquid soap, there are paper towels. Clean and tidy.
Pleasant, subdued light and quiet music in the background, before the main landing. In general, it's good.
According to the menu. We ordered to sit for a while, have a beer. But I like the menu itself, the prices are reasonable.
The establishment has no foreign odors and a comfortable temperature.
The smoking room is separate, spacious, on the street (veranda).

It's a great place! It's always fun, delicious, dancing and noisy! Each of our visits to Almaty is not complete without visiting this institution. The food is good, the price is right, the food is interesting and the service is good.

We were here this weekend. We've been here a lot before. So this time we decided to come here. The service, as usual, is lame. The music and the atmosphere are good. But unfortunately, the evening was ruined by uninvited guests in the form of cockroaches. They moved freely around the table, through the food (I imagine what's going on in the kitchen). The administrator reacted as if this was the way it should be. I just took the dishes where the cockroach was running. They left all the food. There was no question of any refund. It's just terrible. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Well, a bank is a bank that keeps a decent level! Live music with a sparkle too! The 4-cup beer kitchen is great, the beer is better by the way, but the assortment is not large, maybe it's for the best. The waiters are friendly and well done, all the staff! It's clean and cozy. I recommend it!!! I'll come to Ata and go again)

I visited this institution with my colleagues on Friday evening. People come here to party. A feast, lots of alcohol and a live performance of popular rock songs - the dance floor is packed to capacity) The atmosphere is cheerful and positive. It works until 5 a.m.

Great place, great food selection, delicious, inexpensive, pleasant atmosphere. One of the disadvantages is the choice of beer and live music on weekdays - it interferes with conversations.

Classics of Friday culture. If you want to eat, drink and chat with a noisy group, you are welcome here.
Special attention should be paid to the tincture of a mixture of the hottest peppers in the world!

Not high-quality alcohol! 4 Steaks were ordered medium roast and 1 full, brought raw, asked to finish cooking- the meat was brought dry, and 1 steak was straight coals. We had a good laugh, decided not to spoil our mood, drew conclusions and decided to go to other bars. Well, or in a jar on Makataev.

I come in regularly on Friday or Saturday. Live music, delicious, inexpensive. Of all the "Cans", this one is the best because of the team that works there. Thanks to the guys, the bartenders, thanks to the waiters, managers, keep having fun doing your hard work! Thanks to the security guys for their vigilance and safety.

I have always considered this bar chain to be one of the best, and I have visited it in Astana and Karaganda.
My family and I went in, and it was just us in the whole bar. Almost all the waiters were laughing loudly at the bar. The girl who served our table came up only to bring the order, and when the place was empty, she managed to forget to take out part of the order, which she calmly reported without any apologies. Dirty dishes remained on the table, no one took them away. There was zero attention to the only occupied table.
There are no complaints about the quality of food and drinks, but the service is disgusting.

We've gathered here with colleagues several times, the beer is good, the snacks are also delicious, so if you want to get together, that's the best thing.
Friendly staff.

The bar is too noisy.
The atmosphere is like an amateur. Everything is served in cans, but it feels like the level of a tequila or a pint. Prices are approximately at their level. The usual "pub" for amateurs.

In general, the place is good. The kitchen is not bad. The music repertoire is not bad either. The prices are adequate. But the service is not only a friendly attitude. The waiters are polite, but everything has to be cleaned up. The cherry on the cake was that they did not break through the 10% discount for the birthday boy, although they warned about it.

We visited "The BANK". The experience is unforgettable! It is very cozy and clean inside. You can not only have a snack and a drink, but also enjoy music. Musical groups perform here on Fridays and Saturdays, so admission is by appointment only with a deposit.

A jar is always fun, dancing, delicious food and a highlight - stumble! Must-eat! Its own atmosphere that has nothing to compare with.
And if you like experiments, be sure to try the Yagermester with milk, all the waiters know and will tell you how to drink! My recamendation! Then you will constantly order!

We visit here periodically with friends. Have a beer and listen to music. They often invite musicians who are rarely heard anywhere. And this is a huge plus for the institution.

A good jar, everything is conveniently located, but hookahs leave much to be desired, either hookah bars or tobacco, and on busy days I would like more waiters, the amount that happens is not consumed

It's a very popular place. We were a company on Saturday. The kitchen is not bad, not "wow", but it is quite edible. The waiter, Symbat, was not very attentive, to the question: "what kind of beer would you recommend so that your head doesn't hurt," he replied "black tea", maybe it was a joke, but it was unpleasant, apparently it was from irritation and fatigue and lack of staff. The music is live, which is why we chose this place, but there is absolutely no place for those who want to dance. I think the management should pay attention to all this.

The jar on Zheltoksan was the most favorite institution. But everything deteriorates with time. The situation does not let go when my phone was stolen on the dance floor, and the administrator just did nothing, even the police did not let me look at the cameras. Now you can't relax, you keep thinking about the safety of your things.
For some reason, the recipe of some dishes was changed, it did not taste good. Normal bands stopped calling to perform, or put on their performance after 2 a.m. It's not that anymore, it's not that place at all.
