Ajour Stereo Disco Club - 3 Leontovicha, 234 74 94 Ajuor may be rightfully considered to be one of the showplaces of Kyiv's nightlife. It's a bright, inspiring establishment of the Beatles and Elvis Presley style, with Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli charm and also impetuous drive from the Rolling Stones and Doors. All cream of the music culture of the 1960s-1980s, and only in "Ajour"! And just here it is always possible to meet the most beautiful girls in Kiev!
Arena – 2a Basseyna, 492 0000 The nightclub at the massive Arena complex, which has been renovated recently, is on the top floor. Among the city’s most posh clubs, Arena features good DJs and a colorful dance floor often interrupted by thrashing go-go dancers and other club patrons. Last we heard cover was UAH 100 on weekday nights, UAH 120 on weekends.
Caribbean Club – 4 Kominternaya, 288 1290 The only Latin disco in Kiev, Caribbean lacks in size but makes up for it in many other ways. Skilled salsa dancers make regular appearances and set an example for the rest to follow. Wednesday’s ladies night is the raciest and most risqué party in the city. Cover typically UAH 60 for men, UAH 40 for ladies.
Dante next to River Port - Naberezhnaya Kreshatyk No 4 221 4433 It is the cities most opulent and exclusive Club. It is a barge on the right bank of the Dnepro river in Podol, it is in its second year of operation and it became the new playground for cities rich and famous. Just to enter the Dante is 300UAH. For girls it is free as as they pass the face control muster.
Decadence – 16 Shota Rustaveli, 206 4920 The truly elite Decadence restaurant-nightclub has a stylish, pseudo-Art Deco interior, decent drinks (if you don’t pay attention to prices) but music that’s typically hit or miss. Wanna dance? Make elbow room for yourself on the miniscule dance floor. Cover charge is a whopping UAH 200 if you want a table, otherwise guys after 11pm pay UAH 150, but ladies always get in free.
D-Lux - Hrushevskogo 3 Tel 2009009 is located near the Dynamo Stadium. It has expanded to include a summer terrace. Prices are a bit more egalitarian at HR 150 for men on Fridays (on Saturdays its Hr200) and Hr 100 for women regardless of the day.
Faberge – 22 Rybalska, 501 7979 A club claiming to be very exclusive with strict face control, also if it is not as strict as it once was, due to Chajkovsky DeLuxe. Nevertheless, dress up if you want to get in for sure. They serve a large variety of drinks and a few snacks. Cover charge is typically UAH 70 for men, UAH 50 for women.
PaTiPa – 10 Muzeyny Lane, 253 0150 A fashionable nightclub with showers for the go go dancers visible from the dance floor – just in case there wasn’t enough to check out as far as club patrons go. Music includes Hip-Hop Night on Thursdays, salsa music early Friday evenings from 7pm and regular DJ parties late Friday and Saturday. Strict face control on Saturdays. Dress accordingly. Cover charge is UAH 80-100, but that’s often not enough to get in as the place often fills up by midnight.
Privilege – 2 Parkovaya Doroga, 451 6790 The only open-air nightclub not in Hydropark, Privilege has gone through many changes in format and name, so don’t be surprised if your taxi driver knows it better as the Green Theater (“Zelanaya Teatra”) than as Privilege. The focus is on House music, with lots of foreign DJ guests in the summer. Great place to party til the dawn when the weather allows. Cover charge averages UAH 80. Summer only!
Shooters – 22 Moskovskaya St., 254 2024 One of the most laid-back clubs in the city and a massive flirt factor to rival the legendary but now-defunct 111. The bouncers might be complete goons (and not terribly intelligent), but the club makes up for it with cheap drinks, good food upstairs, a hookah bar downstairs and parties every night of the week. Best of all, it’s open non-stop. Cover charge rarely exceeds UAH 50.

The Buddha Bars do not offer hookah. Nevertheless it is very exotic and something special
Cinema Club – 1a Entuziastov, 555 5854 Can’t stand the house, techno and typical rhythms associated with downtown clubs? This is one club that regularly plays jungle, break beat, drum ‘n’ bass and other hard-core electronic. Be warned, though: it’s also far from the city center, located on the Left Bank near the Hotel Slavutych. The crowd is decidedly under 23.
Dance Studio (former Dance & Groove) – 2a Bessarabskaya Sq., 239 7382 This is the downtown club for the really, really young. Located in the Bessarabian Market building (enter on the side facing Khreschatyk), the club is rather gothic due to the preponderance of so much black, but the big dance floor, long bar, posh upstairs and lots of cocktails will help anyone forget they might feel out of place here.
Del Mar – 11 Kostyolnaya, 278 0463 This cafe, bar and club offers cheap drinks, nice hookah smoking and features up-and-coming DJs.
Disco Radio Hall (former Moda Bar) – Pier #6 , Naberezhno-Khreschatytskaya, 428 7388 Once the hottest club in the city, the old Moda Bar (now Disco Radio) has fallen on hard times. The club plays from a radio music format, which won’t help it attract a crowd of anyone but the older pick-up crowd, but that’s what club owners want. Face control is aimed at people over 25. Each day of the week is devoted to a different, popular Ukrainian radio station.
Forsage – 51a Garmatnaya, 230 3535 The massive Forsage nightclub on the National Aviation University campus fills 1,800 square meters with dance, house and other types of electronica music. But be warned: it’s really, really far from the center and not easy to get to. Or back from.

Saxon – 4 Trutenkaya, 230 3536 Saxon is the furthest out of any club in our abbreviated list but has a tempting schedule of surprisingly good DJ parties every night of the week. The crowd draws from the large neighborhood community, so for those who’ve worked their way through the regular downtown crowds, Saxon offers a breath of fresh air for singles.
Sorry babushka (Instead of Sound Planet)- 18/24 Dmitrivskaya A new entertaiment and dancing club, which will remind you comfort of your grandparents.
