Jim 'n ' Jack 's Expat - Moscow

Popular choice among young and middle-age English-speaking expats and international guests. Very informal atmosphere. Well-structured and organised. Regular international open-microphone and music events, dance, bar, summer terrace...

Great place. I like the atmosphere and quesadilla ;

Place itself pretty small, but still cool though One tiny dance room with bar and stage and a slightly bigger eating zone with tables. Thursday nights is the best, since you can enjoy or perform yourself on the open microphone. Venue basically without face control : Very good neighbourhood with other great bars and clubs.

Came here on a random Tuesday night while in Moscow and had a great time. Even though I was by myself, I felt very comfortable because the atmosphere/staff were all very welcoming. Great place to check out to meet other English speakers, and in general a fun place to hang out in. I wish I would have found this place earlier in my trip because they have international parties and other themed events on the weekends! Would definitely recommend stopping by!

I’ve been a longtime patron and regular performer at Jim ’n Jack’s, and have seen them go through many different eras of management, regulars, and entertainment schedules but the vibe is always one of family. It’s something in between an event venue and a dive bar and an expat hangout, but if you just walk in and sit at a table or a bar, somebody’s sure to eventually come up to you and introduce themselves to you. Many years ago it was a safe and supportive space to start getting on stage at their weekly stand up open mic, and now 6 years later it’s become an institution that I’m happy to be a part of every Saturday. In addition to performing comedy, I go there because it’s a place where I know there’ll always be someone to chat with an English, and it’s become a default hangout for many people in my social circle. All in all, a cool underground place to take in some English language entertainment and hang out with foreigners ;
