Jazz Philharmony is the place of jazz legends and has been running since 1989, founded by David Goloschokin, an outstanding jazz musician and composer. Since the first days of its existence Jazz Philharmonic Hall has attracted international talent to its stages and has captivated audiences every night. For more experimental and progressive Jazz sounds, try the JFC club and another favourite is the jazz Time bar. Although not jazz, Moloko is a premier venue for live rock & indie. Moloko has a massive following, normally packed with students, stag weekend drunks and wild rockers. It’s the best rock club to find in the city and you’ll enjoy the cheap booze and crazy atmosphere. The interior of the club is minimalist as the emphasis is all on the music and having a good time. Saint-Petersburg has a great reputation for live music especially for rock and jazz enthusiasts. The Red club attracts the best local rock bands and good international alternative acts. It’s a civilized and comfortable venue and will be enjoyed by live music fans.

We can recommend quite a few pubs to try a pint. Leo's is a spacious pub, with a wide range of beers and spirits and you can’t miss this place, just look for the authentic red British telephone box at the entrance. There are plenty of Irish bars & pubs within the city. Located just off Nevsky, is Mollies Irish pub and opposite the Mariinsky Theatre is Shamrock. Both pubs have excellent live music, serve quality pub food and offer a wide selection of beers. Also, by the Kazan Cathedral is the Office pub, that serves the usual Guinnes, bitters and lager.

The atmosphere of the Metro is very warm & friendly and safety of the visitors is guaranteed by qualified administrators. The interior is stylish and there are many comfortable places to chill and talk. Metro is a definitely a clubbers dream, a chic club with a well dressed crowd. We’d definitely recommend an evening at Metro, to have a good clubbing experience during holiday break in St Petersburg.

The Magrib Club, designed in the Moroccan style, is located on Nevsky Prospect. The Magrib gives an impression not of a nightclub, but of a sheikh palace. The interior, soft lights and stirring erotic show affect the guests the way that they want to return to the club over and over again. Especially popular is a strip-show performed by girls dressed like sheikh's concubines. Every night the Magrib Club welcomes those who like dancing, punters will here a mix of beats from; Latin & Russian pop to RnB and western pop. Luna club features ‘the strip ballet’, which consists of four shows a night, of elaborate, sensual eroticism, expressed through intricate dance routines. The shows are extremely artistic and creative, captivating and drawing the audience in, as the dancers play out their roles softly caressing one another with their movements sometimes shrouded by a thin mist. This is highly entertaining and tasteful, offering another unique experience whilst on a city break in St. Petersburg.

If you’re already missing England, then visit the Red Lion. It’s the closest thing to a British pub in the city. There’s live music and a good menu, with a shepherd's pie as authentic as you could hope to find outside the United Kingdom. Its open 24 hours and the plazma screen TVs attract sport fans looking to catch the big game. The Red Lion tends to attract an expat crowd aswell as stag nights, but the atmosphere is always welcoming. A very popular watering hole is City bar, just a few minutes walk from the Hermitage and is one of the city's few true expat hangouts. This American-owned bar-restaurant draws a lively bunch of mostly foreign students, stag pissups and long-term expats who can't seem to leave the city. The Jolly Rodger pirate-themed pub ‘Vesoly Rodzher’ runs 24hrs and is fun place to come for cheap food and beer. It can get full of people on Eastern europe sports tours, but that only tends to be much later on in the night.

Another popular haven for young expats is a bar called Cynic. Just off St. Isaac's Square, this three room basement bar offers musical space for some of the city's best underground musicians. The atmosphere is great and people often dance on the tables. A cheap club that consists of a beer hall, pool room and a disco is Ultimatum. It’s a bit of student dive and is open 24 hours a day. We wouldn’t recommend this to discerning travelers, but ok for stag night type do’s etc . Other popular lads activity weekend venues are the Football bar, for die hard fans that can’t miss the big game and the Beerhouse Prohodimez, which serves food and drink till 5am.
