Welcome to St Petersburg Essential Guide - Your Best Travel Guide to Russia

Get to know the best pubs in St Petersburg with our recommendations and enjoy drinking until late at night during your Russian stay.

Pubs in St Petersburg attract large crowds as part of the city's lively nightlife scene. They all are open until 1 am or 3 am at night, depending on which day of the week you go, and serves a full range of food with usually loud music in the background.

One thing you may notice when entering a pub in Russia is the lack of atmosphere and authenticity in terms of appearance, at least based on our personal experience. But apart from that many of the city's pubs feature tasty Irish or British food, plenty of Guinness, but no rousing Irish music; while others offer well-crafted beers made in Russia or elsewhere with interiors richly decorated with horse brasses, dartboards, and old sporting prints.

There are a lot of places to go around the famous Nevsky Prospekt, so finding a pub is easy, but picking the right one it might be hard if you don't know the area. Thus, if you’re looking for a good imported draft beer or a single-malt whiskey, or you are up for late-night boozing, here's five of the best Pubs in St Petersburg where anyone can pop in and grab a drink, have a quick bite to eat, and enjoy the music.
