Live music, Slavic soul food, trivia, and a dark, intimate vibe
"After operating a pop-up, Ribachonek landed as the late-night food source at Siberia, a punk and metal music club in the Upper Ninth Ward. Ribachonek called it Kukhnya, Russian for “kitchen.” It was popular for pierogi and burgers and made Siberia a food destination separate from its live music lineup for a long run of seven years." - Clair Lorell
"Walk about 10 minutes east on St. Claude Ave from N7 and you’ll run into Siberia, a small bar and live music venue that usually has local bands every night for a small cover fee—around $10, or $5 if the door person likes your vibe. We found this place randomly on a recent trip, but the bands were a highlight—we saw an act from New Orleans called Chicken Milk that we would describe as a combo of Vulfpeck and Dr. Dog. Stick to the basics here (White Claws, beers, vodka sodas), and know the live music is all going to be quality, and probably a band you’ve never heard of unless you live here. There’s plenty of space to sit, especially if you come on a weekday, with some comfy couches in the back and tables right to the side of the stage." - carlo mantuano
"A longtime favorite for St. Claude Avenue bar hopping, Siberia has returned with its eclectic music offerings, which run from heavy metal to punk to klezmer to singer-songwriter. Gritty, nice and dark, with beat-up tables and chairs, Siberia’s food menu is no longer what it once was (extensive Polish and Russian specialties) but it satisfies nonetheless, with solid New Orleans dishes at good prices." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
"Siberia is a small bar and live music venue in the Marigny that usually has local bands every night for a small cover fee. Stick to the basics here (White Claws, beers, vodka sodas), and know the live music is all going to be quality, and probably a band you’ve never heard of unless you live here. There’s plenty of space to sit, especially if you come on a weekday, with some comfy couches in the back and tables right to the side of the stage." - Carlo Mantuano
"Owners announced plans at the end of March, ceasing operations as Kukhnya (Russian for kitchen) at Siberia on April 7." - Clair Lorell
