A
Martini Bar
American diner meets Scandinavian chic inside this classic cocktail bar (on pl Sovetskaya), but the local talking point is the bar’s summer patio. Newly designed each year, it was completely painted/decorated (even the floor) in Burberry’s signature yellow tartan. Pizza and beer are also offered in warm weather on the lawn terrace.

B
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.

Viola’s Bierstube
The Bierstube’s former sister bar is still run by Eric’s ex-wife, Viola. It’s similar to the Bierstube (down to the mugs o’ mustard), but the service is friendlier and better. The hard-to-find dark wooden door is on the left under the archway leading to the courtyard (it’s under a vent).

L’Orangerie
Dnipropetrovsk’s nightclubs are fast attaining legendary status in Ukraine. A small but excellent nightclub in the centre is L’Orangerie. People come here to sit outside in wicker chairs, sip cosmopolitans and look cool. Women usually get in free to this place.

Blindazh
This textbook dive bar, done up like a Red Army bunker, has old Kalashnikovs, grenades and other weaponry behind the bar for you to fondle. Order a ‘Boromirovka’ – Burn energy drink and tonic mixed with 14 shots of vodka and served in an old metal pail (130uah).

Bierstube
The German-influenced menu (all dishes served with charming mugs o’ ketchup and mustard), smoky basement air and chummy environment persist post-Eric. However, the service has taken a nosedive. Go through the archway and hug the right.

Poltavske Pivo
Their 2.50uah locally brewed draught beer might just be the cheapest in Ukraine, and they’re right on Poltava’s main pedestrian drag.

Pivobar
This place has a good beer selection, including beloved English ales like Owd Rodger and Riggwelter, as well as an encyclopedic food menu.

Art Club Exit
For something a lot more local, try this often rowdy basement bar. The entrance is near a hard-to-spot ‘Exit’ sign.

This classy basement bar has a reading room for rainy days and a 20% discount on food if you saddle up to the bar.
