Owners can choose to equip the 68-square foot cockpit as a dedicated fishing space, as an entertaining lounge or as a mix of the two. Options include fish boxes, a live-well, a bait-prep station with tackle drawers, flush Lee rod-holders, outriggers, a self-draining floor, fresh and raw-water hoses, a cockpit shower, a floorplate for a fighting chair or rocket launcher and a transom lift-gate. Alternatively, a fold-down L-shaped sofa built into the transom wall is paired with a pop-up cocktail table and integrated surround sound speakers to transform this space into a social hub for late-night entertaining, while a full-beam swimming platform at the stern will prove a hit with the kids. There is also a mezzanine bench seat in here, sitting atop an optional wet bar with chilled storage, an icemaker and an outdoor grill.

Moving forwards the central portion of the main-deck is covered with a curved hard-top and shielded at the front and sides by wrap-around, light-weight glazing, though this area remains open to the rear for a breezy feel. There is an L-shaped leather sofa to port that surrounds a glossy teak dining table, while to starboard there is a twin seat facing the helm station. The classically configured dashboard features a Garmin multi-function display screen, a chartplotter, an optional fish-finder, a Ritchie SuperSport compass, Teleflex hydraulic steering, Bennett trim-tab controls, VHF radio and plenty of old-school analogue instrumentation. You can also fit in a second wet-bar console in here, for those who need the extra space to aft for a tackle center.

A glazed companionway door leads down to an open lower deck combining a galley, a lounge and a double island bed to the bow, all sitting atop a teak and holly sole or plush carpeting. The kitchen features an Emerson microwave, a steel sink, a Black & Decker coffee machine, a two-zone electric hob, under-counter fridge-freezer units and Corian work surfaces, while the lounge boasts a U-shaped sofa that can be turned into a second bed and a removable breakfast table. There is also a main head on this level with an open shower fixture, while spaces across the lower-deck benefit from numerous opening portholes and skylights.

You can expect top speeds in excess of 34 knots when powering the twin 385MHP Crusader 8.1 MPI gasoline inboards to the max, though this yacht can also be fitted with an optional pair of 310MHP Volvo Penta D6 diesels for similar top speeds. At a swift cruising speed of 26 knots, you can expect a range of around 170 nautical miles, the ideal distance for speedy weekend island-hopping.

Description
Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

The capital of Russia: the basic things you have to know

Moscow is located in the far western part of Russia about 400 miles (640 km) southeast of St. Petersburg and 300 miles (480 km) east of the border with Belarus. It stands on the Moscow River, a tributary of the Oka and thus of the Volga, in the center of the vast plain of European Russia. The city and its surrounding area, the Moscow oblast (province), lie in the northwest corner of the most highly developed and densely populated part of Russia. Moscow is situated in the broad, extremely shallow valley of the Moscow River and its tributaries.

Since it was first mentioned in the chronicles of 1147, Moscow has played a vital role in Russian history. It became the capital of Muscovy (the Grand Principality of Moscow) in the late 13th century; hence, the people of Moscow are known as Muscovites. Today Moscow is not only the political center of Russia but also the country’s most populous city and its industrial, cultural, scientific, and educational capital.

The ethnic composition of Moscow is quite wide. Thus, there are more than 15 nations that create an ethnic map of Moscow today: Russian (91%), Ukrainian (1,42%), Tatar (1,38%), Armenian (0,98%), Azeri (0,5%), Jews (0,49%), Belarusian (0.4%) and many others.

Therefore, the predominant religion is Christianity, with the Russian Orthodox Church being the most popular, as Moscow is the capital of Orthodox Christianity in the country, and a part of Russia’s historical heritage in a law passed 25 years ago.

Russian is the official language of Moscow, and the majority of citizens of this city speak this language. However, English is more widely spoken here than in any other city in Russia, and is the second language of 80 percent of the bilingual citizens of the city. In Moscow, you can also meet people speak Ukrainian, Tatar, Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian languages.

Because Russia’s official alphabet is the Cyrillic alphabet, signs will also be written in Cyrillic script. This can make getting around tricky at first, but a Russian phrasebook can help you decipher street signs and place names.

10 things you can’t miss out in Moscow

The Moscow Kremlin , one of the largest architectural ensembles in the world, leaves no one cold. It is located in the center of the Russian capital, on a high hill above the Moskva River. The Kremlin’s tall walls, combat platforms, and the cadence of towers – everything points to the fact that it is above all a fortress. But as soon as you enter the Kremlin, you get a different impression. The territory of 28 hectares is occupied by enormous squares and beautiful parks, magnificent palaces and a multitude of churches. It is an actual city within a city that was being created over the course of centuries, and to this day preserves Russian architectural land marks from the 14th–20th centuries. Those landmarks make up the ensembles of Sobornaya, Ivanovskaya, Senate, Palace and Troitskaya squares, as well as Spasskaya, Borovitskaya and Dvortsovaya streets. The old and new squares of the Kremlin are united into one architectural unit, but each of them has its own history and its own unique architectural look.

Saint Basil’s Cathedral is the finest features of the stone architecture of medieval Moscow, including tented roofs, intricate domes, gables, narrow windows, barrels and other architectural elements. In the late 16th century, a heated church was built on the north-eastern side of the modern cathedral, the spot where Saint Basil was buried, hence the cathedral’s name. The domes were originally painted green, and were repainted in their current colours in the late 18th century. The cathedral’s domes signify the cardinal directions, with the blue-white dome standing to the north (the colours representing snow and cold) and the red dome (symbolizing heat and a red sun) in the south.

Moscow metro is well-known all over the world for its beauty and reliability. The Moscow Metro is not only a convenient way to move around the city, but one of its main sights, a cultural gem, where even guided tours are held. Its stations are decorated with marble, mosaics, and sculptures. Mayakovskaya, Kiyevskaya, Komsomolskaya, and Novoslobodskaya are among the most beautiful of the many stations.

City Sightseeing Bus: The Soul of Moscow. This special route of this red double-decker bus passes the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Gorky Park, Sparrow Hills, Zaryadye Park and Red Square. On clear and warm days, the second floor of the double-decker remains open. Passengers can choose to listen to the tour through headphones or enjoy a meditative sightseeing tour of the city. Tickets for the City Sightseeing Bus are available in 24, 48 or 74-hour hour options. You can hop on and off at any stop an unlimited number of times for the duration of the ticket’s validity.

Zaryadye Park — the first and only landmark in Russia that has made the Times list of the best places in the world. This title is well deserved. The park was designed by the famous New York design studio DillerScofidio+Renfro. Allow yourself at least half a day to visit Zaryadye in order to properly enjoy a peaceful walk alongside rare moss, take a virtual flight over Russia, dine in true 1960s fashion, and snap a perfect sunset selfie over the Moskva River.

Moscow cultural visit cards: Tretyakov Gallery on Lavrushinsky lane and Alexander Pushkin State Museum. The Tretyakov collection, handed over to Moscow in 1892, was later replenished through private collections and public procurement. The gallery presents all the main schools of Russian art: Old Russian icon painting, painting and sculpture of the 18th to first half of the 19th centuries, the work of the Wanderers and Miriskussniks, avant-garde artists and other masters of the 20th century. The oldest icon of the Virgin of Vladimir is stored in the church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi.

Talking about Pushkin State Museum, two centuries ago, Moscow’s high society gathered here in the Empire-style mansion. Now, you can feel like a warmly welcomed celebrity at the Khrushchev estate. Pushkin and his contemporaries, their light talks and heated disputes about the destiny of Motherland will come to life. In the halls depicting the writer’s biography, you will see the milestones of this genius. Younger visitors can go to Buyan Island and visit the fair and other fairytale places from Pushkin’s world.

Moscow River ride. Take a boat ride on the Moscow River. The views from it are excellent, and there are an enormous number of varieties of boats. For example, for those who are not interested in excursions, there are simple walking routes or even whole restaurants that run from one shore to the other.

Moscow theatres. Theatre-goers will be pleasantly surprised to discover that the city has over 150 theatres. Lenkom, Sovremennik and Moscow Art Theatres are all known for their classical repertoire. And certainly, the Bolshoi. One of the most reputable opera and ballet theatres in the world. You’ve got to book your tickets to Bolshoi well in advance, to put it lightly. For instance, The Nutcracker ballet staged on 31 December tends to be fully booked by summer. The repertoire of Bolshoi Theatre includes both classical and experimental works by young directors.

Moreover, traditional theatre is not the only thing Moscow has to offer in the thespian realm. The capital has many recently created experimental studios that proudly represent Moscow at international theatre festivals.

Cozy Moscow streets. In recent years, there have been more and more convenient pedestrian streets in the centre of Moscow. Now, in addition to the Old Arbat, residents and guests of the capital can enjoy walking along the broad Nikolskaya, which has become one of the most famous places in Moscow after the World Cup, which was held in Russia. From here you can walk directly to the Kuznetsky Bridge.

Moscow parks. Moscow is an oasis of green spaces. The city has more than 140 natural areas. According to World Atlas, 54 percent of Moscow’s area are covered by public parks and gardens, so Moscow was ranked number one among the greenest cities in the world.

Every district boasts expansive natural monuments, reserves and eco-parks (including national ones) fitted with recreational areas, sports facilities, eco-trails and playgrounds. Losiny Ostrov National park can be called the green lungs of the city. It is the biggest urban park in Europe (with the total area of 116 km² of which 30.77 km² (27%) fall within the boundaries of Moscow). Other vast green territories are: Bitsevski Park (the second largest natural park in Moscow covering the area of 18 square kilometres), Izmailovsky Park (16 km²), Kuzminki park (11.89 km²) and Sokolniki park (5.16 km²).

Moscow cuisine

Moscow offers a great variety of restaurants and cafes. Moscow has absorbed the culture and traditions of different nationalities of Russia and Europe. This applies to the Moscow cuisine. Moscow dishes are original, hearty, and different from other regional cuisines of Russia, even if prepared according to the same recipes. The most common dishes are Open Pies, Sour Soup, and Borsch.

Moscow’s burgeoning gastronomic scene has been causing a stir locally and internationally. Published for the first time in 2021, the Michelin Moscow Guide awarded its prestigious stars to no fewer than nine of the city’s restaurants. A total of 69 restaurants were recommended, with three of them awarded ‘green stars’ for sustainability. Fifteen restaurants received the ‘Bib Gourmand’, which acknowledges excellent cooking at affordable prices.

Time-honoured haunts for blinis and caviar include the baroque Café Pushkin and the formidable soviet-themed Dr Zhivago, while the glass-domed White Rabbit, whose chef starred in Netflix’s ‘Chef’s Table’, continues to dazzle with creative twists on classic dishes. Also creating a stir is Twins Garden, which focuses on wildly inventive vegetable dishes and home-grown produce.

Moscow Central Circle

The Moscow Central Circle was completed in 2016. The MCC is an intracity railway with high-comfort electric trains and cars are designed for a variety of population groups. These cars are fitted with bike racks and special spaces for strollers and wheelchairs. The electric trains are equipped with lavatories, climate control systems, and Wi-Fi. An unmanned driving system is expected to be launched here in 2021.

There are 31 transfer hubs on the MCC. Its railway platforms are located within walking distance of metro stations and public transport stops.

Moscow Central Diameters

The Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) is a rail transport system operating in Moscow. The electric trains connect districts on opposite ends of Moscow and make it easier for residents and travellers to travel from the suburbs to the city centre. So far, only two MCD lines have been launched, with three more still being constructed.

The cable car is a new form of public transport for Muscovites and visitors to the capital. The city’s first and, so far, the only cable car runs between the Sparrow Hills (Vorobyovy Gory) observation platform and Luzhniki sports complex. The line is 720 metres long and passes over the Moskva River. Due to the high popularity of the pilot project, the Moscow Government has decided to initiate the construction of 12 additional cable car lines that will connect metro stations and tourist sites.

Memorable gifts from Moscow

A win-win option for memories of the capital is memorable little things with Moscow sights. Unusual variants of small souvenirs can be found at the Heart of Moscow store – badges with the Spasskaya Tower, the Stalinist high-rise of Moscow State University or the Tretyakov Gallery, photo magnets with urban shots from Soviet times or a mug with constructivist buildings of the capital. Many iconic places in the city have their own souvenir lines: pay attention to the Gorky Park store, the VDNKh souvenir shop with badges in the form of exhibition pavilions or the Moscow metro store with key chains in the form of trailers. The Metro also produces collectible editions of the Troika map — for example, with paintings by Russian artists or archival photographs of the capital.

You can buy authentic crafts in the capital in branded craft stores: pay attention to souvenirs of Likino-Dulevskaya painting, Gzhel sets, Zhostovsky trays and Pavloposadsky shawls. Porcelain products can be found in the store of the Imperial Porcelain Factory — including those with city symbols.

“Alyonka” chocolate and “Moscow” sweets have long become symbols of the capital. From local confectionery products, you can look at the “Belevskaya pastille” — apple sweets made from organic products or Tula gingerbread, the production of which has long gone beyond Tula.

A valuable gift can be a book about the history of the city or a painted poster with the capital’s sights. Take a closer look at the map with the age of Moscow houses, a guide to Moscow architectural styles or a book about the capital’s monuments of Soviet modernism. Another option is the scheme of the Moscow metro with its recognizable design.

The official currency of Moscow, like the rest of Russia, is the ruble. You’ll find notes worth 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 2000 and 5000 rubles and coins worth 1, 2, 5 and 10 rubles, and 1, 5, 10 and 50 kopeks (100 kopeks = 1 ruble). Bear in mind that smaller shops and kiosks may not be able to break larger notes, so it’s always worth keeping the smaller ones.

Credit cards are widely accepted at most larger chain hotels, restaurants and shops, however it’s best to keep cash for everything else. Note also that while chip and pin cards are accepted, cards that require a signature may be rejected.

Talking about tips, in Moscow it usually takes 5-15% on top of the bill. The exact amount is determined by a bunch of factors, and among them: the quality of service, the type of institution (a simple cafe, an expensive hotel, an elite restaurant), the opinion of the guest.

All of Russia’s air routes meet in Moscow. Flights to all of the most popular destinations depart from the capital’s airports every hour. These modern and highly advanced transport hubs allow passengers to check in and wait for their flights in comfort. The city’s airports also host the offices of many foreign air companies that organise codeshare flights with Russia. Moscow has four airports located on opposite sides of the city: Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky. You can quickly reach them by special Aeroexpress trains.

Sheremetyevo is Russia’s largest international airport and is located in the Khimki Urban Okrug.

Domodedovo is situated in the south-east of Moscow. Flights from 53 air companies depart from here to 194 domestic and international destinations.

Vnukovo is the oldest operating air hub in the city. While it does not have the capacity of Domodedovo or Sheremetyevo, it certainly does not lag behind them in state-of-the-art facilities.

Zhukovsky opened quite recently, in 2016. The airport is not yet operating at its full capacity. International flights depart from here to a number of different destinations.

Railway Stations

Every day, Moscow welcomes millions of visitors from all over the world. Some of them travel to the capital by rail transport. The city has 10 railway stations, with trains leaving to a variety of destinations. These are more than just transport gateways to the capital; 9 out of the 10 stations are historic buildings boasting remarkable architecture. Every station is well-equipped according to current technological standards and support electronic contactless methods of payment. Station information is displayed in several languages to help visitors get their bearings and prevent them from getting lost upon their first arrival in Moscow.

Bus Terminals

Buses are a very popular mode of transport in Russia. Moscow is a major transport hub. Routes leaving the capital are by no means limited to the city suburbs and neighbouring oblasts. Every day, thousands of buses depart on intercity and international routes from Moscow’s bus terminals. Leaving Moscow by bus, you can get to Saint Petersburg or Kazan in just eight hours. Novorossiysk and Yekaterinburg can be reached in a single day. Russia is an enormous country with great distances between cities. Long journeys are easier to endure when travelling in comfortable motor coaches along modern motorways. During these trips, drivers make scheduled stops at designated parking areas to give passengers a chance to stretch, have a quick lunch at a nearby café, and get some fresh air.

There are six bus terminals in Moscow. They operate on a variety of intercity routes, receiving and transferring more than 50,000 passengers every day.

A Russian visa is an official document that entitles visitors to stay in Russia for a specified period of time. A visa is required when entering and leaving the country. Your visa will contain your entry and exit dates, visa type and a number of entries, passport details, and information about your inviting organisation. If you encounter any difficulties when applying for this document, you can always contact a specialised agency that will help you through the process.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
by Kings of Russia
8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
