A dive bar with 30 UAH vodka shots and a jukebox that hasn’t been updated since 2005. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and local students. Open until 6 am; no cover charge. If you’re lucky, the owner will challenge you to a game of table football.

A massive club inside a Soviet-era sports arena. Expect laser shows, international DJs, and a dress code that bans trainers. Entry is 200 UAH, including a drink. The main room holds 2,000 people: go early to avoid queues.

A speakeasy-style cocktail bar with a menu of ‘molecular’ drinks. Prices start at 150 UAH, but the bartenders will let you taste before you commit. Open until 2 am; no standing room: reserve a table if you’re in a group.
