The city of St Petersburg never sleeps and it is anything but boring. Bars are a vital part of the vibrant city’s nightlife. There are a lot of interesting places where to grab a cheap drink, dance all night long, or enjoy a live erotic show.

Before going anywhere you should know that the concept bar's scene in Russia can be very different than that in the Western countries.

Many Russian bars, included St. Petersburg, offer you compelling erotic shows, something not common in the West, but very popular in Russia.☺

And, if you are nostalgic about the Soviet Times, there are also a bunch of dive bars (Known as the ryumochnayas) where you can step back in time and drink plenty of Russian vodkas as the locals do. 

However, if vodka is not your only priority but you want to enjoy an amazing night out, which includes booze, good music, and beautiful girls, then follow our recommendations and visit one of the St Petersburg Bars presented on this page.
