Russian term or phrase: с правильной арифметикой
This is a promotional for a beer company that is sponsoring a street festival.

Близ фудтраков расположился черный грузовой контейнер Neon Power station – уникальный стрит-бар **с правильной арифметикой,** где гости могли получить бейсболки и стильные T-short от Neon Beer в подарок.

I'm thinking the "correct arithmetic" may refer to the legal drinking age, since it has been mentioned earlier in the series of press releases that the company is keen on encouraging people to drink responsibly and safely. But that's only a guess on my part.

"appealing arithmetics"
Explanation:
I would translate it as "...a street bar with 'appealing arithmetics', where buying guests can get a free gift ..." (please see my comments, explaining how I came to this translation).

Thanks, Tatiana, for figuring out what this **probably** means. I decided to recommend that my client delete the phrase, since it is incomprehensible in both Russian and English. BTW, "arithmetic" cannot be plural in English.

agree  The Misha: Except of course you can't have any of this appealing arithmetics here. It means nothing in English. See above.
