Kyiv


Probably the best and most 'clubby' of Kyiv's growing repertoire of gay clubs, it gets quite packed on weekends and attracts a mostly gay clientele but also a fair amount of straight revellers. Tuesdays and Thursdays are for drag shows or karaoke nights. Weekends are for DJs. It's on the 4th floor of a high-rise building.
