Hasova Lyampa ("The Kerosene Lamp") at 20 Virmenska Street is a museum-restaurant of the !FEST emotions holding. It is dedicated to the invention made in Lviv in 1853 by pharmacists Jan Zeh and Ignacy Lukasiewicz: the kerosene lamp. The venue holds Europe's second-largest collection of kerosene lamps — 528 pieces, including table lamps of Emperor Franz Joseph and lamps once owned by Giuseppe Garibaldi and Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay, plus an exact replica of one of the first kerosene lamps; every stage of oil extraction and distillation is recreated. A monument to the kerosene lamp and to Jan Zeh stands at the entrance. The signature order is the "chemical experiment": a tasting set of liqueurs served in test tubes (200 ml for two, 800 ml for a group). The restaurant occupies several floors of an old tenement house and has a terrace overlooking the roofs of old Lviv.
