Hows the nightlife in Moscow?

As you might expect in a city of over 12,000,000 people Moscow has an amazing array of nightlife options and a scene for everyone - be you a jazz aficionado, a hardcore clubber, or just a plain old alcoholic.
In fact it's difficult to generalise about the nightlife scene here, precisely because of its diversity, but there are things we can mention that are typical Moscow traits...

One thing that newcomers to the city will quickly notice is that a bar or nightclub is rarely just that.
Nearly every drinking venue in Moscow doubles up a restaurant and a very high proportion triple up (if one can do such a thing) as a bowling alley, billiards club, casino, concert venue or even book shop!
Perhaps it's because Moscow is such a vast metropolis, and taxis are so expensive, that bar and club owners want to provide their customers with a 'one-stop-shop' for nightlife entertainment - rather than send them out into the, often bitter, cold night for a bite to eat.



Dance Clubs in Moscow

Moscow is full of dance clubs, but only a few of them are really worth attention.
If you are after bustling dance parties, try Gaudi Arena, Club Fabrique, Ballantine's Bar, Karma Bar, or B2.
For electronic music connoisseurs Propaganda and Kult are perhaps the best places.
Sixteen Tonns is good if you want something more "proper", and Shanti is the place to go for Eastern-influenced motives.
To meet Abramovich head to club First :)
If their face control doesn't let you in, try the lower-scale Skazka.
Finally, if you are after casino-style entertainment, try Molodaya Gvardiya entertainment center

I'd like to add my favourite -Jao-da. It has very special cosy atmosphere with interesting music concerts and nice place to have a dinner and so on.

Hey its a great list and a good sharing stuff, I prefer dancing in clubs and I love night life,

Night life is a good thing but I prefer to sleep in this world where everything is Fast than you think, sleep is a much needed thing for anyone so less night life will give you good health.

There are thousands clubs & bars, so what kind of music do you prefer?
