Mykola Lab Bar

We had a really great night out at Mykola. The bar tenders know their ingredients and story behind their signature drinks by heart! Can definitely recommend and will be coming back soon! They also speak English perfectly.

Really cool and reserved drink bar. If you are in Curitiba and want to take a drink before a special dinner or a night club this is the perfect place. The bartender is for sure an alchemist with many autoral drinks. I guess their drinks menu are seasonal, we took four of them and it was perfect.

Bar has a policy to allow costumers to enter until midnight. I arrived before midnight and the entrance was denied. No proper reason was provided.

(Translated by Google) The door looks locked, but it isn't! Mykola has an interesting detail: to get in, you have to knock on a metal ring, like those on castle doors in movies. As soon as someone answers and opens the door, you enter an intimate and different environment. The lighting is low, the tables are small and the atmosphere is more cultured. The music is soft, and the space is more geared towards conversation than excitement. The menu offers interesting snacks and a well-designed drinks list. It's a pleasant bar, ideal for a date or a leisurely chat. The service is another strong point. The staff knows the menu well and knows how to recommend good options according to the customer's taste. I like drinks with whiskey, I mentioned this, and received three or four suggestions, with information about the differences between them—whether they were more bitter, sweeter, more full-bodied. I chose the Tokyo Godfather (R$60), a reinterpretation of the classic Godfather, with whiskey and amaretto liqueur. At Tokyo, the house version, the difference is a plum liqueur, which provides a balanced sweetness and a velvety texture, without hiding the flavor of the whiskey. I thought it was fantastic! Then I ordered another drink with whiskey, but compared to the first one, it ended up being bland. The Tokyo Godfather stole the show! lol For food, we started with the complimentary couvert, a chip made of noodles. I had never seen that before—unusual and very tasty. Then we ordered jaguar meat, in a delicious little bun, acarajé (very good!) and a raw fish. The latter made me very curious, because we chose it in a different way: the waiter brought three cards, like a tarot, with the daily specials. I thought it was fun! Oh, and the dish was great! The bill: we were two people and shared the food. I had two drinks, which were more expensive because they were whiskey-based. In the end, my share came to R$176. I highly recommend it! (Original) A porta parece trancada, mas não tá! O Mykola tem um detalhe curioso: para entrar, é preciso bater com um anel de metal, como aqueles de portas de castelo em filmes. Assim que alguém atende e abre, entramos em um ambiente intimista e diferente. A luz é baixa, as mesas são pequenas e o ar é mais cult. A música é suave, e o espaço é mais voltado para conversas do que para agitação. O cardápio traz petiscos interessantes e uma carta de drinks bem elaborada. É um bar agradável, ideal para um encontro ou um bate-papo sem pressa. O atendimento é outro ponto forte. O pessoal conhece bem o cardápio e sabe indicar boas opções de acordo com o gosto do cliente. Eu gosto de drinques com uísque, comentei isso, e recebi três ou quatro sugestões, com informações sobre as diferenças entre eles—se eram mais amargos, mais doces, mais encorpados. Escolhi o Tokyo Godfather (R$ 60), uma releitura do clássico Godfather, que leva uísque e licor de amaretto. No Tokyo, a versão da casa, o diferencial é um licor de ameixa, que traz um dulçor equilibrado e uma textura aveludada, sem esconder o sabor do uísque. Achei fantástico! Depois pedi outro drinque com uísque, mas, comparado ao primeiro, acabou ficando sem graça. O Tokyo Godfather roubou a cena! rs Para comer, começamos com o couvert cortesia, um chips feito de macarrão. Nunca tinha visto isso antes—inusitado e bem gostoso. Depois pedimos carne de onça, num pãozinho delícia, acarajé (muito bom!) e um peixe cru. Esse último me deixou bem curiosa, porque escolhemos de um jeito diferente: o garçom trouxe três cartas, como se fosse um tarô, com pratos do dia. Achei divertido! Ah, e o prato era ótimo! A conta: fomos em duas pessoas e dividimos a comida. Eu tomei dois drinques, que eram mais caros por serem à base de uísque. No final, a minha parte deu R$ 176. Super indico!
