They normally don't have Djs, so the crowd there is mainly whiskey enthusiasts. Though they do work on diversity introducing several in-house vodka infusions recently (try a horse-radish one) and a range of unique cocktails.

Pub style food is being served here to accompany beers and is a bit pricey, so I wouldn't go there just for that. But 30 draught and more than 200 bottled variants will give you quite a choice and excellent opportunity to check all the local beer variety at a time.

That's definitely the place there you'll be able to switch off with the magic help of funk and soul and to enjoy the thoughtful choice of liquors. If there is no DJ playing when you get there, just use the jukebox, so good music would never stop!

If you're not afraid of being in noisy full of people places you'll be fond of this place. In "Poison" it doesn't matter if you have or haven't a strong and beautiful voice. Just write down a song on the waiting list and the crowd around you will sing with you!

Cidreria

The first and only cidreria in the city

It is the only cidreria in the city, so if you're a cider lover - that's definitely a place for you as it has lots of kinds of your beloved beverage to try. Pricing is also clear and easy - 200 rubles for a glass (about 0,4) no matter what you choose.

Laundry can be fun!

Stirka

This small but very atmospheric cafe is definitely one of a kind. Justifying its name (“stirka” means laundry in Russian) here you can do your laundry or have a drink at a bar (which is really not expensive), meet up with friends and enjoy some good music or you can do it all at once. The place's not that obvious, so simply look for the 40˚ sign.

Happy Sparkling New Year everyday!

Purga (snowstorm)

For those who has never had a chance to celebrate New Year in Russia before. Here you'll get a traditional combo of champagne, tangerines, banya, ensemble of songs and dances and gypsy fortune-teller. The only minus is the entrance fee (about 6 euros).

Whiskey and jazz – match made in heaven

The Hat

8

To enjoy one of the daily jam sessions that take place from 22.00 till 02.00. Do mind the cigarette smoke, on weekends it becomes practically unbearable for non-smokers. Though reasonably priced drinks and nice music do their magic and even smoke becomes a part of the local mood

Took my mum there for dinner and as a result she kept talking about the place for hours afterwards… At the moment it's the best spot to experience the Russian modern cuisine and my personal #1 for eating out so far.

If you want to feel the spirit of the open-minded people, meet young artists and singers you’ll have such opportunity here. Plus, you will get to see the unofficial street of John Lennon, decorated with bas-reliefs of Beatle’s members, colorful graffiti and poetry on the walls that compliments the atmosphere.

Nicest shots in the downtown

Mishka bar

Nice and budget drinking/dancing spot which works even then others are closed. Do try the elderberry/vodka shot - Gennady, it's superb! They also have a fair bit of food here - sandwiches/salads to survive. Also try maybe the best cider in the city! You will not find the same one 'cause they have their own recipe with the notes of lime.

"All-inclusive" ticket on weekdays costs less than 6 euros! And you are free to do whatever you want: play games, watch average or 5D cinema, go clubbing in the special area. The only thing for which you should pay is food and beverages.

The biggest concentration of clubs at a place, some of them are believed to be trendy, others could really be, but no one really cares much about it here - it's just a good option for those lazy ones who prefer to change couple clubs and bars in one night, but don't want to pay for driving anywhere.

Bureau could help you to get a nice lunch while strolling the city or to enjoy one of their in-house vodka infusions and a burger to survive the partying mode of St-Petersburg. From personal experience can say that their home-made lemon sorbet+shot of vodka+glass of crashed ice+sachet of sugar makes a perfect Do-your-own-cocktail set.
