Has the reported decrease in alcohol consumption occurred in Yakutsk, according to officials?

In the vibrant city of Yakutsk, a unique trend has emerged in the catering and entertainment sphere. "Pouring spots" have taken centre stage, with bars, cafes, restaurants, and clubs being overshadowed by these establishments that prioritise the sale of alcohol for takeaway.

These "pouring spots" are primarily operated by local entrepreneurs and small businesses specialising in beverage vending. Despite no major corporate ownership being publicly known, their popularity has been on the rise due to growing demand in the Siberian region. This trend has been observed thanks to data from 2GIS.

According to Alexander Arinosov, a representative of the Yakutsk branch of "OPORA RUSSIA", the concept of a "pouring spot" is designed to sell beer for takeaway and not require customers to stay long. This simplicity and profitability have made them an attractive option for many business owners in the city.

However, the dominance of "pouring spots" in Yakutsk has raised concerns due to anti-alcohol measures. The Yakutsk Administrative Commission is currently considering specific solutions to address this issue, drawing inspiration from the experiences of large cities.

Yet, the article does not delve into any specific solutions to the problem in Yakutsk. It also does not discuss the impact of "pouring spots" on the overall economy of the city or the concept of a normal business in Yakutsk, which aims to create conditions for normal leisure, unlike "pouring spots" which prioritise alcohol sales.

The next article in this series will focus on potential solutions to this issue and further explore the implications of the "pouring spots" phenomenon in Yakutsk. Stay tuned for more insights.
