Krasniy Medved is the first brewery on Svalbard that was open in 2012. There are only two breweries on the archipelago and the second one was open in Longyearbyen in 2015. Since 1928 there have been “a dry law” on Svalbard meaning that you could buy an only limited volume of hard alcohol. Until 2014 it had been forbidden to produce alcohol drinks including beer stronger than 2.5 degrees so the first beer in Krasniy Medved was brewed in less than 2.5 degrees.

Our menu includes dishes made with the fresh Arctic fish species: cod, haddock, wolffish, Arctic char, salmon, and herring. Besides, we catch cod, haddock, wolffish, and the Arctic char ourselves in waters near Barentsburg, and the product is completely prepared with our own hands. During the fishing season from June to October, you can choose the meal cooked with “24-hour catch” meaning that the period between catching and cooking is not more than 24 hours.
Our principles in the kitchen are freshness, simplicity, and traditions.

Icebreaker Bar Krasin is our tribute not only to the icebreakers, but to all the vessels and sailors that worked in the Arctic and particularly on Svalbard. And with no doubt it is our desire to share those stories and introduce the traditions.
The idea of the interior came from the Icebreaker Saloons. It's some sort of collective image of the era of 50-60s that we got inspiration from. The design is based on the real interiors of Icebreakers Krasin and Lenin, and combined with the sea view from the window the only difference from a real Icebreaker Saloon is the lack of the ship motion.
