Lviv Entertainment

  1. Dzyha

    This Café-Cum-Art Gallery In The Shadow Of The Dominican Cathedral Has A Relaxed Vibe. It's Particularly Popular With Bohemian, Alternative Types, But Seems To Attract Pretty Much Everyone, Really. If It's Full There Are Other Attractive Options For A Nibble Or A Cuppa Joe Nearby On Postcard-Worthy Vul Virmenska. If You Just Can't Get Enough, Dzyha Has Also Been Writing Its Vibe Large At The Ethnic Music Festival Pidkamin (Pidkamin.Ridne.Net), South Of Pochayiv.

  2. Italyansky Dvorik

    Even if you decide to skip the Lviv History Museum, it's worth popping in for a coffee in its aptly named inner courtyard. You usually have to pay a cover charge, which in principle is an outrage.

  3. Kabinet Café

    Despite the nationalist symbols plastered on the walls, there's still a brown wrapping-paper, Soviet atmosphere. You can curl up with a book (there's a small library) in a cosy antique throne, or have a game of billiards.

  4. Korzo Pub

    Bars are thin on the ground in Lviv and this is the closest the city has to an Irish pub. There's a huge menu of pub food, a worldly beer list and smart-looking cherry-wood walls.

  5. Picasso

    Lviv's most atmospheric club, inside a former theatre, has consistently good DJs and a consistently festive crowd paying proper homage to them.

  7. Pid Synoyu Plyashkoyu

    With its nostalgia for the Polish/Austrian past and its dark interior, this tiny café at the back of a courtyard has a cosy, secretive atmosphere. It serves sandwiches and fondues, as well as wine and coffee with pepper. It's hard to find; look for the blue bottle.

  8. Robert Doms Beer House

    This fantastic, utterly unique beer hall is located three stories underground in a centuries-old beer-storage vault once used by the neighbouring Lvivske brewery. It's named after the brewery's founder and features fresh Lvivske served in litre steins, plus German food and nightly live music in one of the vault's four chambers. Another chamber has a mammoth TV screen for sports viewing.

  9. Zoloti Dukat

    The mirrored ceiling in this faux bat-cave creates all sorts of optical illusions - this place would be a real hit in Amsterdam. No cannabis here, just what may be Lviv's best (and best-smelling) coffee in a mercifully smoke-free environment.
