Beer kiosk
Kirovskii raion, Leningrad, 1977
At this time, most Russians did not seem to prioritize beer drinking much. For one thing, the beer on offer was (let's say) "an acquired taste" - that is, most would say it didn't taste good. The number of such kiosks selling beer, where they would fill a container for you or give you a mug to drink on the spot (then return the mug) was very small. Still we can see this one had some customers.
And at least in this setting, all the consumers seem to be men.
