There are several bars in central Moscow worth visiting.
Tema Bar
 located near chistye prudy boulevard potapovsky pereulok, 5. it boasts quite a long cocktail list, including all-time favorites like screwdrivers, cosmopolitans and manhattans. the bar is packed on fri and sat nights.
Simple Things-Nikitskaya
Great choice of wines and snacks in a cozy bazement right across Cofemania, with a special person who sit downs to talk and recommend a drink or two with you if you're alone.
tea
Moscow has a good selection of tea saloons. Beyond them, high-quality infusion teas like Newby, are widely available in cafes, both packeted and loose.
Asking to add boiling water to the tea you ordered earlier is a practice that some cafes don't welcome, but normally it's acceptable. However, initiative from the waiter is really rare in this respect.
Beer
Yan Primus
Belgian beer restaurant, a rare women-friendly beer place. Offer table games for large companies. Parking; outdoor terrace open until 11PM; booking required.
Beer Market
Probably the widest choice of beers in the city in the regular menu, plus seasonal extra beer listings, new region every season.
Coffee
Coffeemania chain
The most expensive coffee chain in Moscow. The cafe on Bolsaya Nikitskaya 13 next to the Moscow Conservatory serves great breakfasts and is excellent for people watching in the morning and pre-concert coffee in the evening as well.
Coffee Bean
Petrovka is most coffee-conscious place in the Coffee Bean chain also Pokrovka, Pyatnitskaya, Leningradsky. Some of the Coffee Bean stores also provide free internet eg. Pokrovka.
Volkonsky
For a late night nibble or a quick morning pick me up, Volkonsky is one of the better places in Moscow that doubles as a bakery/coffee shop. Great ambiance and a neighborhood feel.
Starbucks Cafe
Starbucks has finally broken the wall into hard ground Russia. Promises to open another 10-20 stores by end of 2008.
According to Vedomosti March 2009, best coffee can be found in:

Clubs
Fabrique
 (http://www.fabrique.ru/) this club has nothing to do with the london club, but it is no less happening and lively. beware of "face control" russia's way of letting only the chosen into the club. mid-priced drinks, shots of vodka are ~200 rubles and mixed drinks are more expensive. great club atmosphere with generally fantastic dj's.
Gogol' Bar
 this bar is on the posh stoleshnikov pereulok. the street houses deluxe brand shops such as chanel, burberry, and cartier. the entrance to the bar is between vivienne westwood and the lancel boutique. the interior, menu and drinks are quite simple. musical performances every weekend. during the winter, the small yard is used as a skating rink. there are also gogol' bars on arbat and maroseika st.
Krizis Zhanra
In a house at the corner of pokrowski bulvar and ulica pokrowska, enter the house from the backside. see website to see a small map (http://www.kriziszhanra.ru/). in the day it offers mediocre italian-themed russian cuisine. cocktails and desserts are on the menu for mid-range prices 300-350 rubles. they play alternative music and on weekends the restaurant is turned into a small rock club at about 11pm the tables are taken out. the place is popular with students with money but who are not elitny.
Propaganda
A great alternative bar with lots of cheap drinks vodka is 100 rubles and beer is 150 rubles. With great music, a hip and funky crowd, as well as a relatively relaxed door control. Propaganda is a great place to dance all night and have fun. Also very good value-for-money place to eat.
