Odesa loves everything from Lviv! If you appreciate the classic flavors of old Lviv—from delicate croissants to artisanal chocolates—you will adore the vibrant atmosphere of the city's latest culinary import.
Piana Vyshnia, which translates to "Drunk Cherry," has successfully spread its unique brand of entertainment and charm from Lviv to Kyiv and now to Odesa. It has quickly become a local favorite for those seeking an authentic taste of Ukrainian hospitality.

Drunk Cherry: Stand and enjoy the atmosphere
Like the old-school drinking joints throughout pre-war Europe, this establishment keeps things simple. You will not find chairs or stools here; instead, guests gather at tables and counters.
This design encourages you to enjoy a quick tipple of wonderful liqueur in the traditional way — on your feet. It fosters a social environment where standing makes it easier to mingle with fellow patrons.

All you need in a glass
Beyond a small selection of snacks, the menu focuses on a single specialty: cherry liqueur. It is not exactly a wine or a standard liqueur; it is a strong, sweet beverage that pairs perfectly with the cherry compote found at the bottom of every glass.
You can order it cold or hot. During the winter, the hot variant serves as a perfect way to warm yourself from the inside out. They also offer bottles to go, so you can bring this treat home to enjoy.

You can find several Drunk Cherry locations across Odesa. Visit the spot on the corner of Havana and Derybasivska Street, or find an indoor location on the walkthrough at Arcadia.
If you find yourself on the Health Walk, they have a spot right near the entrance to BBQ-rib heaven, Rebernia. This area remains a perfect example of how Lviv's food culture meets Black Sea living.
