Moscow nightlife: despite the freezing weather, the Russian capital gets hot as the sun goes down. Between discos, luxury, exaggerated parties and beautiful Russian girls, the Moscow nightlife offers everything you need for memorable nights.

Moscow nightlife

The city of Moscow is definitely one of the most interesting European cities: the stories about underground lines and secret bunkers, the architecture of its buildings, from the Kremlin to St. Basil's Cathedral, up to the Soviet style of the Seven Sisters and modern skyscrapers, make the Russian capital is a unique and fascinating city.

One of the many things that Moscow is famous for is its wild nightlife . Moscow never sleeps. If there is anything true about Russians, it is that they love to party! Despite its freezing weather, Moscow turns out to be a hot city with endless fun, hip nightclubs, extreme luxury, beautiful Russian girls and lots of booze when night falls!

In fact, in recent years, the Russian capital has definitively abandoned the gray period of communism and its inhabitants have given vent to their desire for fun. As you might expect in a city of over 12 million people, Moscow has an amazing array of nightlife options and a huge choice for all tastes, whether you are a jazz fan, hardcore clubbers or just plain old alcoholics. The nightlife in Moscow winds through a multitude of alternative and transgressive nightclubs where the watchword is to meet new people and spend a night of unbridled and uninhibited fun . In addition to the numerous discos, in the Russian capital there are also 20 casinos open until dawn. For those who want a break of intriguing relaxation, in the city of Moscow there are also numerous massage salons .

Most of Moscow's nightclubs contain a restaurant, a bar area and a nightclub (the larger ones also have bowling alleys, billiards and a casino!). Perhaps because Moscow is such a large metropolis with very cold temperatures and taxis are so expensive that the owners of the bars and clubs want to offer their customers an all in one place for night entertainment.

So, in other words, Moscow is not the best city in the world for bar-crawling, especially bearing in mind that these multipurpose venues often charge entrance, but rather it is better to carefully choose the club where to spend the night.

For a quieter and more sober evening, head for an evening stroll along the Via Arbat or the Red Square to be fascinated by the lights of the city and the grandeur of the buildings, and admire the shops and street artists. An alternative to experience Moscow's nightlife is to spend an evening of lyric, ballet or opera. The Russian capital is home to around sixty theaters, the most famous of which is the world-renowned Bolshoi Theater (Theater Square, 1, Moscow).

Moscow nightlife districts

Moscow's nightlife is not concentrated in a single district but is scattered throughout the city. However, there are areas with a greater concentration of bars and nightclubs .

The Krasnij Oktjabr (Russian for "Red October") complex, a red brick building located on the island in the center of the Moscow River that once housed a chocolate factory, is dotted with numerous trendy nightclubs and offers spectacular views of the river and the symbolic places of the Russian capital. This is where the most glamorous parties in Moscow take place, there are numerous bars, restaurants and art galleries.

Other neighborhoods with good nightlife are the old manufactory area near the Russian government building which houses some bars, the area around the Trubnaya metro and around Kuznetsky Most , while the Kurskaya groups the clubs with electronic music. We can also mention the area of ​​the Patriarch's ponds, an area that is teeming with quiet bars.

Located in the Kitai Gorod , Propaganda is one of the first clubs in Moscow and has been a reference point for Moscow nightlife for over 20 years .

The Rolling Stones draws a rather young crowd, one of the youngest in Moscow's nightlife. Here you will find many young students aged 18 to 21. People over the age of 30 are a rarity. This means that the vibe is usually pretty cheap and the parties are very loud, with girls dancing at the bar and bartenders putting on a show.

The club is located on two floors. The lower floor is mainly frequented by people hanging out at the bar and is good for conversation. The narrow stairs that perfectly fit the student atmosphere of the club take you to the main floor where the real party takes place, complete with a bedlam and girls dancing on the bar counter. In the summer months there is also an outdoor terrace. The place is always crowded and bouncers unnecessarily queue people - having a table or someone inside can be the key to skipping the queue.

If you've seen the Coyote Ugly movie, you probably don't need an explanation. Three things you will always see at Coyote Ugly : girls dancing on the bar, cheap drinks and DJs inviting people to party wildly. This club looks like Crazy Daisy and the people are the same too: students, less wealthy Muscovites and people from the suburbs. Here, too, the atmosphere is very friendly and the place is crowded especially on weekends.

Crazy Daisy
(Ulitsa Sretenka, 32, Moscow) The Crazy Daisy is practically a carbon copy of Coyote Ugly (or vice versa). Cheap drinks, commercial music, hardly any dress code and open 7 days a week. Crazy Daisy is the name of a bar chain with three franchises in Moscow and is the best option for a cheap and crazy party any day of the week. The concept is very similar to Coyote Ugly: girls dancing on the bar, cheap booze and a DJ trying to liven up the crowd. Thanks to the low prices people get drunk, which is also why the boys are always reminded at the entrance not to start dancing on the bar and annoy the girls. The atmosphere is more genuine than in luxury clubs.

London Club
(Prospekt Vernadskogo, 14, Moscow) Open daily from 11.00pm to 6.00am.

Fantomas Chateau & Rooftop
(Bolotnaya Naberezhnaya, 4, Moscow) The Chateau de Fantomas was once a private club accessible only to a small circle of young Muscovites. Now the place has loosened its selection, hosting parties with techno music. From here you can admire a splendid view of the river and the city.

The crowd that frequents this club is quite mixed. People are less trendy and more underground. The place is suitable for afterhours, so most people arrive from 3am onwards.

Tipsy
(Sushchevskaya Ulitsa, 9, Moscow) I wouldn't say the Tipsy Club is off the beaten track, but it's not quite as well known. The reason is that it's a disco version of a dive bar with out-of-control teens and lots and lots of alcohol. The Tipsy Club is what happens when you put lots of horny kids in a room and offer them lots of cheap booze. The club is neither nice nor elegant and decidedly unsophisticated. But the atmosphere is pretty good and you will see all kinds of "things" happening.

Immediately upon entering, you will have the feeling that you have come to the local high school graduation prom instead of a real Moscow nightclub. There is no real interior design, but basically just a large hall with a stage and a bar. The crowd is almost entirely made up of teenagers and young people. Not many of the teens speak English, but it probably doesn't matter after all the alcohol. The music ranges from Russian pop and hip-hop to the most famous international hits. Perfect if you want to party and drink alcohol in one of the cheapest clubs in Moscow .

Since it's an afterparty, the party doesn't really start until 4am and the music on offer is mostly tech house and techno. With a typically underground style, the club has large spaces and also an area to relax with a drink or a hookah.

Here too, it's full of beautiful girls and it's also a great place to hit them off, as those who come here are notoriously more approachable.
