The best clubs Saint-Petersburg (Санкт-Петербург)

This DJ bar is the oldest and most famous in the city, hence its incredible popularity. Having recently moved (September 2021) to a beautiful setting, Mishka welcomes its customers leaning at the bar or partygoers coming to listen to a mix of cutting edge electronic music. Contemporary art is also part of the scene. During the day, the place works like a café and, from 9pm, DJs take over. House specialties to break the ice: Mishka shots (sea buckthorn or black currant with juniper nastoika ) and Lisichka (mango, candied pineapple and vodka).

Central Station, which also exists in Moscow, was awarded the prize for the best gay club in St. Petersburg in 2007, a year after it opened. It consists of 4 floors, 8 bars, several stages for really daring shows and many backrooms. Dance and electro classical music, affordable drinks, for this club which is also gay friendly and therefore welcomes straight people. Downstairs, a bar-restaurant with carmine red walls offering Japanese and European cuisine in a jazzy atmosphere subdued like a French boudoir.

This club, which opened in 1996, has very good acoustics and offers rock concerts (but not only) almost every night. Griboedov includes three spaces: a concert hall, the musical café "Griboedov Hill" and the "Amsterdam Bar", its seasonal terrace in the quiet. The quality of the program and its variety have contributed to the reputation of the place, which has been regularly cited among the most interesting in the city for many years. The club has a heated semi-open veranda with a pool table. The concerts are filmed and available on the website, so you can get an idea.

Located in the spectacular cultural wasteland of Sevkabel Port, a former Siemens & Halske cable factory at the mouth of the Neva River, Machti is a concert hall, bar and party venue. Rather quiet during the day, the place can be appreciated at any time of the day thanks to its location facing the Gulf of Finland, its huge volumes with impressive ceiling heights, its large windows and its industrial design. Parties and concerts every week. Programming available on the venue's Facebook page.
