Line Brew

Line Brew is a steakhouse and beer hall at 187A Nazarbayev Avenue in Almaty, on the Bostandyk side of the city centre. The venue combines house-brewed beer with a grill menu, an arrangement common in brewpub-style restaurants and popular with groups. Prices sit in the upper-middle tier, with a typical meal costing around KZT 9,000-18,000 per person. The signature dishes are ribeye, a standard steakhouse cut, horse steak, which gives visitors a way to try Kazakhstan's most characteristic meat in a grilled format rather than in the boiled beshbarmak, and the house beer. Horse meat is lean and slightly sweet, and ordering it as a steak is a common first experience for travellers. The beer is brewed by the venue, so the selection depends on what is available at the time of visit, and a flight or a few small glasses is a practical way to compare styles. The restaurant is open Sunday to Thursday from 12:00 to 01:00 and Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 02:00, making it one of the later options on the avenue. Booking is advised at weekends and can be arranged through the 2GIS listing. The atmosphere is that of a lively beer hall, with a sociable noise level suited to groups of friends, work gatherings and watching sport rather than quiet conversation. Nazarbayev Avenue is one of Almaty's main arteries, with plenty of taxi traffic, so reaching the venue by ride-hailing app is straightforward. Visitors who prefer a calmer dinner may choose an earlier slot on a weekday, when the room is less crowded. The combination of grilled meat and craft beer makes the venue a useful alternative to the city's Kazakh and Central Asian restaurants.
