Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Shkaf
BAR
(vul Hretska 32; beer from 14uah; 7pm-late)
It feels like entering a
shkaf
(wardrobe) from
the outside, but what you find is a heaving basement bar-cum-club, a surefire antidote to
Odesa's trendy beach-club scene and pick-up bars. The inconspicuous, unmarked en-
trance is always surrounded by smoking/chilling-out patrons, so you won't miss it.
Friends & Beer
BAR
(vul Derybasivska 9; 11am-11pm; )
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 authent-
ic for the period, but it's great for sports.
Mick O'Neill's Irish Bar
IRISH BAR
(vul Derybasivska 13; 24hr)
This longstanding Irish pub is a great place to start an even-
ing and an even better place to finish it, as it's the only outdoor patio on vul Derybas-
ivska that's open round the clock.
Morgan Club
BAR
(vul Zhukovskoho 30; 24hr; )
By day Morgan is a pretty benign breakfast or lunch
spot or early-evening drinks stop, but at night capable DJs spin till the wee hours and
there's a funky downstairs lounge. The crowd of expats, local heavies/beauties and sex
tourists never fails to generate a 'colourful' atmosphere.
Entertainment
Theatre, concert and opera tickets can be purchased at the venues or at a
Teatralna Kasa
