Donetsk

Entertainment in Donetsk

  1. A

    Chicago Biker’s Bar

    Soviet chic to the core, it features a pellet-gun gallery, KGB prison cell–like private rooms, and beer taps on the tables. There’s live music nightly and Shakhtar Donetsk games are shown on televisions embedded in oil barrels. It’s part of the multifunctional Chicago nightclub and entertainment complex.

    Golden Lion

    Far from your run-of-the-mill Irish pub, and not just because it’s spacious enough to hold a rugby game and is open round the clock. Here you’ll also encounter 5uah Sarmat beer to go along with the standard selection of imported brew.

  3. Virus

    A 15-minute taxi ride east of the centre is Donetsk’s hottest club, with a simmering crowd dancing in multiple chambers. This is not the place to chill out.
