Entertainment in Eastern Trans Siberian

  1. Okno

    Vlad’s coolest club’s price keeps the luxury to a high degree – plus there’s a minimum age (25 for guys, 21 for women). This 3rd-floor spot has a full-front window overlooking the water, baroque gold-painted armchairs, visiting DJs, and dance bands that finish sets with ‘I Will Survive.’

    El Dorado

    You’re likely to get into weird conversations with harmless drunks playing slots, but the ten or so screens will be playing the sport you need (NBA, Premiership, NFL, maybe netball) – best is the viewing room with rows of old airplane seats.

    Zabriskie Point

    Attached to the rear of the Hotel Amursky Zaliv, Zabriskie is Vladivostok’s main rock and jazz club. Live music from 11pm every night but Monday. Pricey, but not without character.

    Bezdonnaya Bochka

    This cavernlike bar is Vlad's best beer bingeing ground and is a pretty popular place, particularly on weekends, when you should book a table if you want a seat.

    The popular local football team, Luch-Energiya, plays games at this bayside stadium from April to November. On other days you can pay R35 to jog on the track.

  6. Brauhaus Hans

    Hans pours a mean mug at this all-the-way German beer house with upstairs live music at night and all-day snacks and meals. Accessed from ul Semenovskaya.

    This is the city's best club-disco, drawing rather young students. On weekends rock bands hit the stage at midnight.
