The Flying Dutchman - St. Petersburg, Russia

The Flying Dutchman is a restaurant, but I'm definitely labelling this post as entertainment.  The Dutchman is a moored pirate ship just past a famous drawbridge that goes up nightly in St. Petersburg.  After a typical overcharging by a cab driver, we arrived at the pirate ship to find it mostly empty.  But, it was early for St. Petersburg at 2330. 

We began with an attempt to order Bloody Mary's.  The language barrier we were trying to cross was only semi-permeable, so we ended up with several iterations of tomato juice and some vodka shots.  Ultimately, a share ceasar salad was above average.  We were able to sit outside and enjoy the the first real night seen since arriving in St. Petersburg a week ago.  Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of the draw bridge and had a flee to another restaurant/ship on the other side of the river before the bridge went up. 

I can't hold its geography against it though.  Definitely stop by the Flying Dutchman, especially if your Russian is rusty to non-existent.  You're almost assured a good time to accompany the view and food.
