Datscha

This place rocks the free world! On Dumskaya.
A few cautions are in order before planning for a "rock"'ing time.  Datscha is very small, has no dance floor and is more of a kids hangout-bar than a club or pub.  Primarily a meeting place for foreign  students and teens it is a friendly environment, if you arrive early enough to find a place to sit. You will notice about half the patrons are standing on a the front walkway to avoid the smoke and lack of ventilation. 

Dacha has become a bit of a legend in its short life among students traveling in more..

Metro

This is the place to be if you want to meet nice girls and boys in the ages 18-24. 3 floors with international music, Russian and techno along with some different bars and a karaoke bar.

Metro is very large but even its size is not enough for some Friday or Saturday nights when several thousand more patron crowd into every available space.  The decor is creatively post-industrial and must have represented millions of dollars in contruction and decorating. When it is not too crowded to get to the dance floors, it is a very lively, exciting place for mostly young more..
