DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Petrograd and Vyborg Sides have very slim pickings for drinking and nightlife.
However, there are a couple of places worth mentioning.
NIGHT
NIGHTCCLUUB
TUNNEL CLUB
night-6am Thu-Sat, midnight-3am Sun-Wed; Sportivnaya)
Back in the 1990s, Tunnel pi-
oneered techno music in St Petersburg, a bastion of old-school rock-and-roll. Closed
for several years, the military-themed club reopened in the bomb shelter where it was
first born. The setting is still spooky but somehow appropriate for the techno and dub-
step that goes down here.
BAAR
TORN OFF BALLS
R200-500; 5pm-10am; Ploshchad Lenina)
This horribly named bar attracts (rather
than repulses) lots of men who, in the words of the bar, 'have seen it all before'. The
idea is that the all-female crew of dominatrices will drum some discipline into the
drinkers and diners here - expect floorshows, lots of high heels and potentially a hard
spanking.
