My friends and I heard of this new nightclub and one day we decided to go there for there was a ballet program at night there. Because of that program the entrance ticket was 40 UAH (plus 10 UAH deposit for the entrance magnet card).
The club is open from 8 p.m., but the program started at about 11 p.m. and lasted for about 45 minutes.
This new nightclub is famous already for its super stars performing there:
Two Unlimited, Dr. Alban and Nazareth - they all have performed there already and the decision on their performance there was taken at the level of the republic.
This nightclub, unlike all others, has three levels, lavish decor and rich menu (although not a very cheap one).
Our drinks there costs us about 100 Euro in the long run (for the five of us).
This club has a web site where you can read all their rules (in Russian).
Here they are:

Another nighttime activity is strolling along the downtown streets such as Kotsiubinsky Street that runs parallel to Sovietskaya Street.
You can always see lots of people there and just sit at a bench or at a bistro, watch the people and have your tea or drink your beer.
The only thing is to mind the pavements that tend to be beyond repair at times.
Be careful about the pot-holes!

If you happen to be walking about the city before or after dinner and suddenly remember you have not finished your shopping, drop in at some of the stores in Kotsiubinsky Street or in Oboronnaya Street. Here there are "Absolute" supermarkets, a part of the "Absolute" network.
There are big and small shops in these streets where you can buy almost anything you need.
For example "Courage" (a French word meaning something like "No fear!", that is, "come on and shop!") supermarket in Sovietskaya Street (at the corner of Heroes Square) and "Absolute" supermarket in Oboronnaya Street (opposite "Vanguard" stadium).
