Odessa Philharmonic Hall
The best regional orchestra within the former Soviet Union is the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra, led by charismatic and energetic American conductor Hobart Earle, a former student of Leonard Bernstein. This orchestra accounts for half the symphonies put on at the Odessa Philharmonic Hall.

Friends and Beer
This charming re-created USSR-era living room littered with photos of Russian film stars is proof that ‘Retro Soviet’ doesn’t have to mean political posters and Constructivist art. The huge TV screen is possibly not authentic for the period, but it’s great for sports.

Captain Morgan
Captain Morgan (the name is pirated) is one of those cosy club–bar hybrids where it takes a critical mass of only about 20 people to get the party started. Capable DJs spin all night and there’s a downstairs lounge that’s as funky as it wants to be.

Mick O’Neill’s Irish Bar
This long-standing Irish pub is a great place to start an evening and an even better place to finish it, as it’s the only outdoor patio on vul Derybasivska that’s open round the clock.

Ibiza
This white, free-form, open, cave like structure is Arkadia’s most upmarket and most expensive club. European DJs and big-ticket Russian and Ukrainian pop bands often play here.

Cosmo
This spaceship-shaped club out by Arkadia is Odesa’s biggest club in the low season, attracting a relatively young and boisterous crowd.

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.

Praetoria Music Club
This is one of the few city-centre clubs that has a pulse in the summer.

Itaka
Slightly downmarket and often rowdy (in a good way). The Greek columns and statues are a tad much, but you’ll hardly care when it’s 5am and you are out of your gourd. It draws big regional pop acts.
