Bars in Saint Petersburg

El Copitas in Saint Petersburg is consistently ranked among the World's 50 Best Bars — a Mexican-themed speakeasy bar operating on a voluntary contribution basis (guests are asked to pay what they think the experience was worth) that has become one of the most extraordinary and acclaimed bar experiences in Europe. El Copitas's remarkable voluntary payment model and its extraordinary agave spirit program have made it one of the most discussed and celebrated bars in the world.

Saint Petersburg's Nevsky Prospekt bar scene represents the most historically magnificent urban bar corridor in Russia — the main avenue of Peter the Great's imperial capital city, stretching 4.5 km from the Admiralty to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery through the heart of one of the world's most architecturally extraordinary cities. Nevsky Prospekt's remarkable concentration of outstanding bars, restaurants, and cultural institutions creates a bar environment of extraordinary Russian imperial heritage significance.

Saint Petersburg's Vasilyevsky Island bar scene creates extraordinary nightlife experiences in the city built by Peter the Great on reclaimed Neva River delta islands — a city whose extraordinary White Nights (when the sun barely sets for several weeks in June and July) create a summer nightlife culture unique in the world, where bars and clubs remain packed at 4am in full daylight. Saint Petersburg's remarkable White Nights phenomenon and its extraordinary imperial architecture create bar experiences of genuine Russian atmospheric significance.
