Nightclubs in Kiev

Here you will find the best nightclubs in Kiev. Nightclubs in Kiev (Kyiv) are very safe but a word of warning. Ukraine is not part of the EU; they are not burdened with human rights and political correctness. What this means is that if you get drunk or cause trouble, you will very likely find yourself dealt with severely - you have been warned. In addition, it is quite common for dance clubs to hire professional models who perform strip shows, so probably a good idea to leave your mum at home (although your dad might enjoy it). Face control is common in upmarket nightclubs so dress accordingly and be prepared to be turned away. Beware, if a young attractive girl smiles at you it probably is not because she has a thing for 50 something fat balding men, but more likely that she is a Kiev lazy girl (prostitute) looking for free drinks and some additional income. In fact, some clubs employ attractive women to entice men to spend more money. On the other hand, many clubs are comparatively cheap compared to their western counterparts, so feel free to make your own choices. Foreigners are very welcome in Ukraine but remember you are a guest in someone else's country. Behave yourself, show respect and good manners, and you will be sure to have a fantastic time.

Situated half way up the hill from the old Dynamo Kiev football stadium. This is a proper dance club and not somewhere just to go to pick up Kiev's lazy girls (prostitutes). The first thing that strikes you is just how classy it is. Beautiful women mingle with Kiev's up and coming successful glitterati. This club applies strict face control and dress code so no trainers and smart dress only.

Entry is quite expensive compared to other clubs but this is the up market end of the dance scene in Kyiv. You will enter on the ground floor and to your right you will find a place where you can leave your jacket/coat free of charge. If you make your way up to the next floor you will find yourself in a very tasteful bar and restaurant with plenty of seating. If there is a group of you it might be a good idea to book a table.
Next floor up is the Dance floor. This place has a great atmosphere and you will soon find yourself getting into the vibe. For an overall view of what is going on you can move up one more level to the next floor and peek at the beautiful people below. Classy and elegant, definite thumbs up from us.
Open from 22:00 - 06:00

Situated in the Avalon multi entertainment complex this place is definitely different and almost surreal. Recently undergone a makeover which in our opinion has made the club less cosy and a little bit clinical. Maybe we caught it on a bad night but it was not very busy and lacked atmosphere. In fact there were more people in the Karaoke bar upstairs than there was in the club. On the plus side there is some nice eye candy here, girls employed to dance in the club. As always with clubs like this in Kyiv, they tend to attract Kyiv lazy girls trying their luck with foreigners. Drinks are on the pricey side for Kyiv but not over the top.
A big complex with restaurants and bars.
Open from 20:00 - 06:00

Turkish owned and favourite haunt of Turkish guys.
Not big on the inside but big on atmosphere, fun and great value for money. Shooters consists of 4 areas, Shooters dance Club, the terrace restaurant , the Harem which is a chill-out area and Limoncello for Karaoke. Every club in Kyiv has it's own unique position. Shooters is no exception but the big difference here is that whatever night you choose to go you are pretty much assured of a great night.

Neither a club nor a bar but an experience you are unlikely to forget. There is nothing subtle about Coyote Ugly, It's all about getting drunk, hot half naked girls and an atmosphere of sweat and testosterone.
Mostly a younger crowd in here and certainly very few tourists. But like most places in Kyiv the bar staff speak English and will be only too happy to share a round of drinks with you. And that is both good and bad, funny or scary depending on your point of view. Copious amounts of alcohol and a slightly edgy atmosphere can sometimes spill over into something not so pleasant. Good news is that security is everywhere and expert at dealing with any unruly behaviour. Might seem a bit like the wild west and in some ways it is. But if your a young guy looking for something not so touristy and you want to have a wild night of excess this could be the place for you. Cheap drink, decent food and hot girls. Definitely not the sort of place you would take your girlfriend unless she likes dancing on the bar. You will either love it or hate it, but for sure you will not forget this experience.
Open every day Sunday -Friday 19:00 - 06:00 am
Saturday 18:00 - 06:00 am

Inside Caribbean Club

Do you like salsa; want to smoke a big fat Cuban cigar. Or maybe just admire the beautiful girls of Kiev shaking their body to the Latino rhythm. Actually this is a pretty good club. It is fun and it has a good atmosphere. Caribbean Club Is one of the oldest clubs in Kyiv. It was opened first in 1998. Recently the Caribbean Club has had a makeover. It has gone a little bit more up market. Nice big stage at the front where they feature local and foreign music artists. Food was pretty good when we were there and prices are fairly reasonable. It is a well known place for foreigners and the mostly English speaking staff are always helpful. This is a great place for Ukrainians and foreigners, always a friendly crowd enjoying a positive atmosphere. Generally a good night out so thumbs up from us.

Wow! This place is huge. This is one of Kiev's new clubs, opened in January 2010 and looks like a lot of money has been thrown at it. Sophisticated sound and lighting, and a huge dance floor. Also claims to have the largest bar in the Ukraine. Attracts a younger crowd and often features bands and stages gigs. Actually not a bad place and well worth a visit. Can be found just round the corner from the Salute Hotel overlooking the Dnipro River.

Located near the National Aviation Agency this is quite a large club with 3 floors that is popular with mainly local students. Often puts on specialised nights like foam parties which allows for lots of naughty behaviour under the bubbles. Not an obvious place for tourists and you would feel out of place if you are over 30. This is a mainstream club that plays house music and European disco. Guest DJ's every night of the week and reasonably priced. Normal face control and dress code are in force.
Open Sun - Thu 22:00 - 6:00
Fri - Sat 22:00 - 7:00
