Entertainment in The Urals

  1. A

    Lights Of Ufa

    This shiny modern building includes a host of entertainment options, including a concert hall, a sports bar and your traditional disco. The microbrewery Brau Haus is the most fun, featuring live jazz, dancing and fresh-brewed lager. From ul Lenina, take any bus north to ‘Dom Pechati’.

    Coffee-Time

    One of Ufa’s most popular spots for a coffee break. Jazz music, B&W photos and a menu featuring crêpes instead of bliny give this place a European flair. In the evening, the café is often crowded with couples on dates and other fashionable young folk.

    Gordon’s

    Yekaterinburg has a bevy of places posing as English, Scottish or Irish pubs, although in fact they are rather expensive restaurants/nightclubs with a strict dress code. The most famous of them is the Scottish Gordon’s, part-owned by an Irishman.

    Tinkoff

    The newest outlet of this national microbrewery has the same industrial style and delicious draughts as the other outlets. The extensive menu complements the beer, as does the occasional live music or DJ act. Free wi-fi.

    Rosy Jane

    An English pub - not to be confused with the Scottish pub down the street and the Irish pub around the corner. The dark wood bar features seven different draught beers and more than 150 kinds of whisky.

  6. Safari

    Tucked in behind Triad, this dark, smoky nightclub attracts a very young crowd that likes to get down on the dance floor. Don your sexiest clubwear, and don't bother to show up before midnight.

  7. Vernisazh

    Reproductions of French Impressionists hanging from the ceiling and green jalousie that cover walls rather than windows make this café look like a brasserie taken over by a modern artist.

    Philharmonic

    Yekaterinburg’s top venue for the classical performing arts often hosts visiting directors and soloists, as well as the regular performances of the acclaimed Urals academic orchestra.

  9. Bashkir Opera & Ballet Theatre

    The theatre where Rudolf Nureyev took his first steps en pointe still ranks highly with Russian musical experts. There is a small museum dedicated to the great dancer on the premises.

  10. Cafe Shepot

    A more bohemia type of place, Cafe Shepot has live music most nights. As the name suggests, you can have a latte here, but most people opt for stronger drinks.

  12. Maxime

    If they made all the types of coffee, tea, smoothies and cocktails listed on this convivial bar’s menu, the rest of Perm would face a severe shortage of liquid.

    Opera & Ballet Theatre

    The level of professionalism is not quite on a par with the Philharmonic, but the ornate baroque theatre is still a lovely place to see the Russian classics.

    Coffee Shop No 7

    A pleasant location on the plotinka, smooth jazz and frothy cappuccinos. What more can you ask from your local coffee shop?

    Zebra

    If you are serious about dancing, this is the place to strut your stuff. Progressive, house and techno play all night long.

    Old Dublin Pub

    A long-standing favourite among expats in Yekaterinburg, this place is actually owned - partially - by an Irish bloke.

    The beautiful baroque theatre that dominates Reshetnikova skver is home to one of Russia’s top ballet schools.

    Fox & Goose

    Another town, another amiable Irish pub. This one features a dark wood bar and forest green complements, creating an appropriately cosy atmosphere. It's an ideal place to meet travellers, business people and other friendly folk.
