Many new nightclubs pop up in the capital every year, but few of them stand the test of time. And only the very best become favorite vacation spots for both Muscovites and tourists.
IN rating of the best nightclubs in Moscow 2019 Years we have collected ten different establishments - from pretentious-elite to youth, and "retro" - so that you can choose the club you like.
10. Gipsy Club
To whom we recommend: to vagabonds in the shower.
Address: Bolotnaya emb., 3/4, building 2.
The creators of the club were inspired by the Rescuers Malibu, so the establishment is very reminiscent of a carefree tropical island, where locals do not know worries, but only sing and dance.
According to visitors' reviews, the sound and lighting at Gipsy Club is one of the best in Moscow, and the DJs are very talented. And although the inside of the club is rather small, the architects skillfully use all the available space. The music here is gypsy motley - from techno to American pop and the Leningrad group.
In addition, the club often hosts themed parties, where it is simply unrealistic to get there without pre-order.
9. Icon Club
To whom we recommend: collectivists.
Address: Bolotnaya emb., 9, bldg. 1.
Over the six years of its existence, Icon Club has earned a reputation as one of the most luxurious club spots in the capital. As its creators say, only the most modern trends are selected for the music program.
And Icon Club is also famous for being the only club-format establishment in Moscow with a Luxury price level and at the same time stunning throughput. The club is ready to accept more than two thousand people at the same time into its light and music embrace. And that's not counting 36 VIP boxes, which can accommodate more than fifty guests.
8. LeninGrad
To whom we recommend: nostalgic.
Address: Leningradsky prospect, 24 A check-in from, Pravdy st., 5.
Next on the list of the best nightlife in the capital is the club, whose very name is a joy for people who do not age at heart, fondly remembering the 70s, 80s or 90s. Everything about it immerses the visitor in a disco atmosphere - from a sparkling mirror ball (the largest among the best nightclubs in the capital) under the ceiling to cozy leather-covered chairs.
The space of the club is so cleverly designed that music plays loudly only on the dance floor, and at nearby tables it is quite possible to communicate without the risk of breaking the vocal cords. Most of the visitors are people in their thirties who enjoy cultural entertainment to remixes of the hits of their youth. And the uncultured are immediately taken out of the threshold, and all visitors celebrate the excellent security service. And also themed parties are regularly held in LeninGrad’e, of course, in the “retro” style.
7. Rodnya
To whom we recommend: technomaniacs.
Address: building 7, Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya st., 5/7.
Despite the family name, "Rodna" is dominated by tough and harsh techno rhythms. Previously, the club hosted parties and concerts "for friends" (hence the name), but recently the popular Moscow nightclub has begun to attract a wider audience.
The room is decorated in a brutal loft style, and is now visited by connoisseurs of techno music, ready to dance until you drop.At the same time, the dancer needs a lot of stamina, because other dance parties in the club last for thirty hours in a row! But this is on weekends, and on weekdays, "Rodnya" remains a modest and "home" establishment with good cuisine.
6. Sexton
To whom we recommend: to bikers.
Address: st. Nizhniye Mnevniki, 110.
A well-known and popular nightclub in Moscow in 2019, where tough bikers gather, combining the “spirit of freedom” with the “spirit of patriotism” (according to the leader of the “Night Wolves”, who own this place).
The interior of the club is memorable: pseudo-stone masonry, decorated with Celtic ornaments, and knightly armor coexist with brutal structures made of car parts, and the DJ's console is made in the form of a truck.
Rock concerts are accompanied by smoke and pyrotechnic effects.
Getting into the club is both easy and difficult. It is easy if you are "your own", but difficult - if you are far from the biker theme. So those who want to plunge into the brutal atmosphere of the "Night Wolves" are advised to first read the rules of conduct in the club and especially the section on the dress code.
5. Soho Rooms
To whom we recommend: wealthy people.
Address: Savvinskaya nab., 12/8.
Getting into one of the best nightclubs in the Russian capital is not easy. The most severe face control awaits at the entrance. The lucky ones who are allowed inside find themselves in a place where every piece of furniture testifies to the well-being of the public gathered here.
Swarovski crystal lamps tinkle overhead, and bar counters are made of real onyx. It is here that the most elite hangout of the most elite city in Russia spends long winter and short summer nights. At one time, this club was visited by Italian fashion designers, British supermodels and American actors. And the wine list in Soho Rooms is able to satisfy the needs of the most jaded gourmet.
4. Incognito
To whom we recommend: lonely.
Address: Bolshaya Serpukhovskaya st., 44.
Are you single and looking for a soul mate? Do you want to plunge into the atmosphere of light flirting and non-binding romance? Or just a drink, a bite to eat and dance from the heart? Then Incognito is just for you!
This nightclub has been fulfilling its mission of connecting lonely hearts for fifteen years. He is helped in this mission by a friendly atmosphere, face control, as well as light and cheerful music - from disco 80s to Euro PoP and Russian hits.
3. Chinese pilot Zhao Da
To whom we recommend: students and old rockers.
Address: Lubyansky pr-d, 25с1, ground floor.
How many years have passed, but the "Chinese Pilot" is still hovering cheerfully over the club atmosphere of Moscow. The zest of the club lies in the creative atmosphere with a light touch of crazy.
And the music in the club is appropriate - from French chansonniers and British punks to Mongolian singers and harsh Finns.
Visitors note that the drinks are inexpensive and the security is friendly. A large number of young people hang out inside, enthusiastically accepting alternative and folk music. True, as in any other inexpensive and youthful place, the food there is so-so. So before going to the "Chinese Pilot" we recommend having a hearty lunch.
2. Propaganda
To whom we recommend: to the capital's old-timers.
Address: Zlatoustinsky Bolshoi per., 7.
This is one of the oldest clubs in Moscow, founded in the late 90s, and bears a distinct imprint of that time. Remember when raw bricks, uncovered metal pipes and lampshades in the secret police dungeons became fashionable just then? All these signs of the times are abundant in Propaganda.
But they love "Cork" (as the regulars love the club) not only for this. For a long time it was "Propaganda" that set the trend of club life in the capital. Despite its conceptual design, the music is played here very different; the club tries to reach all possible audience, and does it seven days a week.
Admission to "Propaganda" is almost always free, drinks are inexpensive.And if your goal is to dance until you drop, while paying a small amount, then the choice of where to go in the evening is obvious.
1. Sixteen tons
To whom we recommend: Anglomaniacs.
Address: st. Presnensky Val, 6, bldg. 1.
The English pub "Sixteen Tons" was opened in the very heart of Moscow in the mid-nineties of the twentieth century. However, just sitting and sipping on our signature craft beer and eating delicious chicken wings can quickly get boring. Well, if the soul requires songs and dances, go up to the second floor, where there is a nightclub, in which live performers regularly perform.
In musical genres, "Sixteen Tones" does not limit itself, but the preference is given to tracks that are soulful and incendiary. True, the size of the club is small, so during concerts of popular performers, visitors often complain of crampedness, stuffiness and bad sound.
