Bar Kokoshka
Brightly painted (or might we say graffitied) in psychedelic colours by the owners themselves, there’s something about the homemade décor that gives the feeling of a work constantly in progress.

Cafe-Bar Produkty
Produkty’s owner apparently was inspired by those quirky little hole-in-the-wall sized bars that make the Berlin nightlife scene so legendary and in terms of both design and vibe the inspiration really shows.

Dacha
This place gets really crowded during the weekend but then it also tends to be more fun. The later the hour the crazier the atmosphere with people dancing up a huge sweat in this tiny pocket of a place.

Dusche
Fittingly enough for a club launched by members of the rock band Leningrad, the club is tucked away in a grotty courtyard behind Tekhnoshok (through the archway, first left, then first right) that's littered with miscellaneous crumbling storefronts.

Fidel
Fidel - can get packed so if you want a seat you need to work faster than a babushka on the metro. Either that or get there early.

Fish Fabrique Nouvelle
A diverse and interesting crowd congregates at this dark and grungy single-room club - perhaps because it’s at the entrance of the city's largest 'working and living' centre for artists.

Pirogi
This bustling cafe-bar is one part bookshop, one part student hangout leaving the rest of the ample space for those people in the city who liked a relaxed atmosphere and fairly priced beer.

The bar with no name
This well-hidden bar has no name, or is that no name is the name? Nevermind the confusion all you need to know is that it is a popular stop along the budget underground route.

Tsokol
If you want to hear some local live music, Tsokol is a good place to head for as they hold concerts seven days a week. The music can be anything from punk to jazz, although the main focus is on rock groups.

V-Meste coffeebar
This is the cheerful Soviet childhood you never had. No glowering Lenins allowed, just smiling Cheburashkas and kitschy mismatched furnishings fill the three-room flat/cafeteria.
