  6. Planeta

    Your one-stop shop for all things hedonistic goes off until the wee hours every night of the week. Upstairs is the glitzy nightclub proper, while downstairs an older crowd gets decidedly ugly dancing to Russian hits in the more intimate confines of the Diky Diuk restaurant.

  7. Reduit

    Freshly brewed beer fills pint glasses and winds up in many of the food recipes at this brewpub inside one of the old city defence bastions near Korolevskie Vorota. Unfiltered is the way forward. There are guided beer tasting/fortress tours - call ahead to reserve.

  8. Universal

    You gotta love a place where the bartenders wear (unedited) miniskirts with 'bar stuff' written across the bum. Nevertheless, it's Kaliningrad's classiest club and, unlike many places, won't leave you feeling way, way too old.

  12. Vostochniy Kafe

    The sounds of gurgling water pipes greet visitors upon entering this basement-level tea salon. Gauzy curtains, strings of Christmas lights and New Age music set the scene for lounging over pipefuls of flavoured tobacco and potfuls of green tea. Waiters are summoned via the red button dangling from the paper lanterns.
