Dancing & Drinking, Moscow

Rosie O'Grady's seems to be the best known Irish Pub in Moscow. It opened in 1993 and was the first one of its kind. It is a multi-roomed pub, where meals and pub food are also served. Russian beers (e.g. Baltika) are usually much cheaper than international beers.
Be prepared that beer prices may vary from day to day or waiter to waiter. It is just Russia here ... ;-)

A great place to watch a soccer game and have a couple of beers or cocktails.
Also good for spending the whole night partying and mating.
The longest bar-counter in Europe, live gigs and tons of fun!
Lots of discounts! Ladies' nights on Thursdays!

Opened last night. I went there because of the name (everyone knows) and the location on New Arbat - wide open, safe and easy to get to. I was expecting something overpriced, but it wasn't I was expecting gorgeous girls - and there were. And some were really great dancers with some real shows. I was surprised (maybe I shouldn't have been, considering the brand and the location) to meet lots of westerners there (and businessmen) and hear lots of western music. The place was still under some construction. Obviously, things were coming together at the last minute. The steak house downstairs was still ... not there. :) But somehow the kitchen was making rib eye steaks that were REALLY good. Most staff and girls speak some amount of English, and if they don't, they quickly get someone who does. Unlike most places in Moscow, service was pretty good. Other than the normal things that inflict opening nights, I have nothing bad to say. Oh and you HAVE to see the men's room! Trust me. :)

Dress Code: This is an upscale crowd. If you wear jeans, make them stylish. Don't know if there's actually a dress code (probably is), but if you dress too down, you'll definitely feel out of place and maybe not get the attention from the girls you might want.

This is a huge dance club with several bars, dance floors and outside patio. It is by far the nicest I have seen in Moscow recently, and would strongly recommend to anyone who is interested to visit it. There are also plenty of hot girls :)

Dress Code: dress well and fashionably

Not as OTT as Dyagilev. But if you can't get into Dyagilev, this is not so bad. Also very very strict face control. Remember to dress to kill. I can't emphasize this enough. Keep the group small. And wear Pucci!!! :)

A younger crowd. Nice music.

Dress Code: Designer. Lots of skin.

Best nightclub in Moscow. Uber hip. Super strict face control. Dress to kill. If you are lucky enough to get in, have fun. All the girls are gorgeous, and all the guys are, er, rich... have fun!!!

Dress Code: Lots of skin. Designer.

They usually invite many famouse people to play there, espesially in summer... They invite a famous DJ every week. Dancefloor is very big, but there are always many people. It can be difficult to get there because of face control and dress code... The entrance is usually free, but if there is some special party with famouse DJ you'll have to pay for the entrance.

"Neo" is one of the most famous night clubs in Moscow. If you like progressive house, you'll like this club. Many nice, beautiful and friendly people, 3 floors and 2 dancefloors... You have to pay for the entrance, but drinks are not very expensive there. Many famous DJ's play in "Neo" when they come to Moscow... The problem is that it's not in the center of Moscow.
