    Swing Dance Open Air
    by pinik
    Nowadays swing dancing (lindy hop, boogie woogie, balboa, shag, charlston etc) becomes very popular all over the world. And now you may find this kind of activity in Moscow as well!
    There are some schools where you can learn the basic and advanced steps and there are some regular dance parties where you may dance or practise these steps with any dancer around.
    Regularly we have parties at the ZhZL club every Tuesday and Saturday. Dance there to the swing music, boogie woogie, rock&roll.
    During the summer there are also open air parties at the Moscow river bank (see the picturer).
    From time to time we attend clubs with live music or there are special parties with live bands, competitions and great dancers coming from another cities and towns. So, in case you are interested, just ask me and I'll give you more details about coming events.

    Usually there is no special dress code at the parties. Don't forget a spare T-shirt and dance shoes - it'll be hot on the dance floor!
    But from time to time we have special theme events when everybody try to be in the style of 30th-40th. (You may find some pictures here: http://press.kitp.ru/swing/)r /> But either you are dressed stylishly or casually, every swing dancer is very wellcome!

    A VERY NICE place!:)))))))
    Good Public:) Good Music:) Good Location:)
    Good Prices:))
    As far as I remember it's free till 11pm, then it's from 150 up to 200 rubles:)
    The only thing I'd like to advise to you is..proceeding from my experience , better go there on Sunday (if to choose btw Saturday and sunday...LOL :D.)... I know everyone works or studies on Mondays but still oddly enough it's the Best day: It is NOT crowdy, the music is MUCH better than on Saturday:))))) I think it's a rare opportunity: just a few people and GOOD DJ though :))) and you can always find a place to seat.
    But still if you are determined to go there on Saturday better have your table reerved, otherwise you won't find the place where even to stand...LOL :D
    Or there's alternative variant, you can eat&drink up in pizzeria, and go down to the club from time to time as we did:)))
    However there are always minuses everywhere. To my mind it is "Toooo Sexually Oriented" shows, to my mind NOT appropriate to this place.I'm ok with sence of humour :D.. but THAT was not always funny...pffff....
    But in the rest HAVE a GREAT time!!!!!

    I haven't heard of any barrings concerning sneakers as I saw lots of ppl there in them :))))) Just.... GET DRESSED and that's all!:))))

    "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.

    Fabrique is one of the most popular nightclubs in Moscow. It's situated in the center of Moscow not far away from Kremlin and red Square. During the week this club works like a restaurant and it is opened like a nightclub on Fridays and Saturdays. It has an open area in summer. Fabrique is a club with house music. 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.

    One of the hip Moscow night clubs, popular among Moscow night clubbers and expats (especially house parties on Thursdays), music fans (calm downtempo on Tuesdays), gays ( ChinaTown parties on Sundays). Usually, twice a week Propaganda invites popular Russian and foreign djs and musicians. Among the guests: Tetris (downtempo, Russia), MixMaster Morris, Funki Porchini (Ninja Tune, UK), Fingathing (Grand Central, UK).
    The interior comprises brick walls, pipes under the ceiling and rough wooden tables and chairs, to give it inevitably underground feel.
    Until 10pm-11pm they serve tasty food and sell relatively cheap drinks. Meals start at $5, fresh juices - $3, beers - $3-$4). After 11, the tables and chairs are taken out, and people start to dance cooling down only by 3-4am.

    Address: B. Zlatoustinskiy ( pereulok, # 7. tel. (095) 924-5732 metro Kitai Gorod (orange or violet), Lubyanka (red). Open: mon-fri 12.00-6.00, sut-sun 15.00-6.00, the food is served all the time, except on thu-sat until 23:00. Dance events start at 23:00. Entrance on sat after 23:00 - 70R (3$), facecontrol.



    B2

    A huge dance club with four floors, several dancefloors, a large chillout room with a restaurant and pool rooms, a cinema room, a cafe, a big scene on the last floor. Features all kinds of music: from Russian rockers to British electronic music. Probably, one the best Moscow night clubs.

    Address: Bolshaya Sadovaya (Garden Ring), #8, tel. (095) 209-9909, fax: 209-9918. Mayakovskaya metro. Open: wed 19-6 thu-sun 21-6. Entrance: around 150R (6$)

    Zeppelin

    A pretentious club for stuck-up kids with a lot of dough. Sometimes hosts popular western DJs and owners of Zepelin like to invite foreign guests quite often to give the club a "star" flavor.
    Has a very closed policy: you can't get in if you don't have a member card. However, the rules are more relaxed if you look like a foreigner — they might let you in without a card, thus making it popular among expats who want to hook up with a Russian girl.
    A local alternative English-language weekly Expat made an experiment a few months ago: they got their absolutely normal looking intern dress as a US superstar DJ, got him a girlfriend for a few hours, and a limo. Then they brought all that to Tsepellin, and the guy got through without any problems.

    Address: Prospekt Mira, #7 (entrance from Gilyarovskogo st.), metro Sukharevskaya, Prospekt Mira, Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Tel.: (095) 207-2392, 207-4305. Opened from 12.00 till the last customer daily. Face control, dress code.



    Ministerstvo

    The main venue for house and techno music, popular among students, businessmen in their 40s and their model-like girlfriends.
    The interior exploits the Soviet theme: the sickle and hammer on the walls and next to DJ decks, rude security guys.
    Strict door policy: open to members only, as our friend says "you can't get there if you don't carry acid on you — you will simply not fit". But then, again, if you're a foreigner you may get in.

    Address: Malaya Nikitskaya st., #24, metro Barrikadnaya. Tel.: (095) 213-7866, opened Friday - Saturday 23.00-6.00, Dress code, face control

    This is one of Moscow's newer, trendier nightclubs. It features several floors of dancing. Downstairs, if you dance on the stage, your image will appear on a giant TV screen with fancy graphic enhancements. Outside on the patio there was a show with two people breathing and twirling fire. On hand were photographers from 44100.com and other trendy websites, ready to catch the action and post it so that all Muscovites who missed out can lament how uncool they are (we made it onto 44-100,so I guess we passed the coolness test).

    I could have done without the squatter toilets, but overall it was pretty cool, although I got sick of everyone trying to impress each other. It's definitely a "see and be seen" kind of scene. Somehow fighting to be deemed cool seems a little to reminiscent of high school...

    See my other entry about Face Control.

    As usual, dress to impress...

    Plan of 1st hall
    by Lalique
    This club is opened 24 hrs, so it serves as a normal restaurant during the day time. But in the evenings .... woo-hoo!
    It's another attractive night spot for expats living in Moscow, seems that they found at last what they've been missing since the changes in Hudry Duck.

    This place has two halls: 1st one is a mix of bar, restaurant and dance floor, the 2nd hall tends to be a proper restaurant (with better air conditioning by the way), however the most vibrant night life takes place in the 1st hall.

    What you can get there? European and Tax Mex food, the best Mojitos I've ever tasted in Moscow and sweaty drunken girls dancing on the tables and bar stand....

    Hungry Duck is dead. Viva Hungry Duck!

    Avoid sports gear.

  • This establishment offers a number of different attractions. There is a casino, nightclub and a sports bar. I have only spent time in the Sports Bar which shows football from all European Leagues. There is a good menu available all day and the food and drink are served by very attentive waitresses.

  • 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.

    Designer. Lots of skin.
