However, you don\u2019t have to go to one of the hip craft pubs to get a good brew. Places like Syndicate Beer &amp; Grill have more of a sports bar vibe, and the local chain of Porter Pubs puts on no airs but serves up affordable cold beer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/varvarbar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Varvar:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday 2pm-11:45pm; Monday-Thursday 1pm-11:45pm; Friday 1pm-12:45am; Saturday 2pm-12:45am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PravdaLviv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Pravda Beer Theatre:<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 (Sunday 11am-12am; Monday-Thursday 2pm-12am; Saturday 11am-2am)<\/li>\n<li><b>Syndicate Beer &amp; Grill:<\/b> (Sunday-Thursday 10am-12am; Friday-Saturday 12pm-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.porter.com.ua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Porter Pub:<\/b><\/a> (most locations open every day from 10am-2am)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121713 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kiev-nightlife-@giisilveira.jpg\" alt=\"kiev nightlife, a group of people saying cheers with beers\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@giisilveira\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@giisilveira<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kiev cocktail bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re big on cocktails, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Kiev\/ChosenCountry.Ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Kiev<\/a> is one of the best places in Eastern Europe to sample creative concoctions. In fact, every year the city hosts Barometer, one of the most fascinating cocktail shows in all of Europe, drawing visiting bartenders from around the country and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the cocktail bars in Kiev have a unique slant or a tongue-in-cheek theme. You can get flavors of far-flung countries at Podil East India Company, or try psychoanalysing your drink preferences at Pink Freud.<\/p>\n<p>The city is full of speakeasies as well. From Paravoz, hidden inside a closed movie theatre, to Loggerhead, an upscale bar behind an unmarked door, the city is basically a scavenger hunt for fantastic drinks. Two of the best are Barman Dictat, which has a massive wall-length display of alcohol and features live music and DJs on different days of the week, and Hendrick\u2019s, a classy joint located in the basement of a burger restaurant.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/podileastindiacompany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Podil East India Company:<\/b><\/a> (every day 12pm-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pinkfreudkyiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Pink Freud:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday 6pm-12am; Monday-Thursday 6pm-1am; Friday-Saturday 6pm-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/parovoz.bar\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Paravoz:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Monday 4pm-1am; Tuesday-Thursday 4pm-2am; Friday-Saturday 4pm-3am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loggerhead.bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Loggerhead<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Thursday 7pm-1am; Friday-Saturday 7pm-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/barmandictat.bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Barman Dictat:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday 6pm-2am; Monday-Saturday 6pm-6am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hendricksbar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Hendrick\u2019s:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Tuesday closed; Wednesday-Thursday 6pm-1am; Friday-Saturday 6pm-2:45am)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121715 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kiev-nightlife-@jacalynbeales-584x875.jpg\" alt=\"kiev nightlife, a girl in a hat drinking a pink cocktail\" width=\"584\" height=\"875\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@jacalynbeales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@jacalynbeales<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kiev rooftop bars<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kiev is famous for its cold winters, but that only means that locals enjoy their summers to the fullest. Kiev\u2019s rooftop bars are often discretely marked, but it\u2019s worth searching them out. At the top of Bursa Hotel there\u2019s a small terrace called 1818, which offers excellent sunset views over the neighborhood of Podil. The rooftop restaurant and bar Mur-Mur lets you peep over the side down to the busy street of Pushkinska. The most spectacular views might be at Bar on 8 at the top of the Hyatt Regency, where you can enjoy a drink across the street from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saint Sophia\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bursa.cc\/eat-and-drink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>1818:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Thursday 4pm-1am; Friday-Saturday 4pm-3am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MurMur.rooftop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Mur-Mur:<\/b><\/a> (every day 12pm-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BarOn8.Kiev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Bar on 8:<\/b><\/a> (every day 11am-2am)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121716 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kiev-nightlife-@lifeinkyiv.jpg\" alt=\"kiev nightlife, a view of the city at night from the rooftops\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@lifeinkyiv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@lifeinkyiv<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kiev clubs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to dancing, there are options for every kind of groove. Places like The Alchemist pull in cocktail and hip hop loving crowds, while Closer, a popular club hidden inside a derelict commercial complex, is more low-key with a focus on techno and house. For a beach party, walk across the pedestrian bridge to UBK Beach on Trukhaniv Island. To feel like an oligarch, the place to go is Hangover, which is frequently crowded on weekends with glitzy young Ukrainians.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer, Kiev hosts numerous concerts and festivals. One that is quickly rising in popularity is the Brave! Factory festival, which in 2019 had six stages and lasted two days, hosted in the unique venue of a train depot.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UBKbeach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>UBK:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday 11am-2am, Monday-Thursday 11am-1am; Friday-Saturday 11am-6am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AlchemistBarKyiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Alchemist:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Thursday 6pm-3am; Friday-Saturday 6pm-5am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/closerkiev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Closer:<\/b><\/a> (Friday 11:59-11am; Saturday 11:59pm-12am; Sunday 12am-3pm)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itstimeforhangover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Hangover:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Thursday 12pm-1am; Friday-Saturday 12pm-4am)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121717 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kiev-nightlife-@adityachinchure.jpg\" alt=\"kiev nightlife, crowd of people in a club with multi coloured lights watching the stage\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\ud83d\udcf7\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@adityachinchure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">@adityachinchure<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kiev nightlife musts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few quintessential Kiev nightlife experiences that everyone should have at least once!

Participants have to wear hard hats and you can\u2019t be afraid of fire \u2013 but that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying, as you should experience it for yourself!<\/p>\n<p>The newly opened RiverPort is already a favourite destination for locals. With outdoor food and drink vendors, as well as regular events, this place is always buzzing. For a totally unique experience, jump on board one of the Dnieper river cruises. You have a chance to see the diverse skyline of Kiev while partying with enthusiastic locals.<\/p>\n<p>To try one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Ukraine\u2019s<\/a> most popular exports, head to Drunk Cherry to get a glass of cherry liquor. Maybe pick up a bottle to enjoy at home!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Palata-6\/144293895638539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Palata No. 6:<\/b><\/a> (every day 11am-2am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/riverportkyiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>River Port:<\/b><\/a> (every day 9am-11pm)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PyanaVyshnya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><b>Drunk Cherry:<\/b><\/a> (Sunday-Thursday 12pm-12am; Friday-Saturday 12pm-1am)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Kiev nightlife prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Prices in Kiev are generally very affordable compared to other European capitals. You can get a .3L craft beer for less than 2 Euro. Cocktails tend to be slightly more expensive, ranging from 5 to 10 Euro &#8212; which is still a great deal compared to what you would pay for the same high quality drink in New York or London. Club covers can go from 15 to 20 Euro, depending on what time you go and who is DJing the event. Of course, if you go to the most popular venues in the centre, these prices could be even higher.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dos and don\u2019ts of nightlife in Kiev<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do keep an eye on your belongings. While inflated bills and club scams are largely just urban legends now, if you are inattentive to your bag don\u2019t be shocked if it disappears.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t do drugs. Ukraine\u2019s legislation on drugs is currently very strict. Not only would you be breaking the law, but you would also be taking on all the risks associated with an unregulated drug market.<\/li>\n<li>Do think about your appearance. The days of extreme \u2018face control\u2019 are over, but certain expectations about appearances still hang around some venues. This is especially true if you plan on visiting some of the trendier hotspots in the centre of the city.<\/li>\n<li>Do make a reservation. The Kiev nightlife scene is dominated by the reservation system, which can be very frustrating if you like to keep things spontaneous. This applies mostly to cocktail bars and rooftop venues. If you like to live dangerously without a reservation, make sure you have a back up plan.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t give up. If a bouncer initially denies you entrance due to not having a reservation, you still might be able to talk your way in if you want to just stand at the bar, or you can promise to be out in a certain amount of time.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t speak Ukrainian. In general, the Ukrainian staff who are at the vanguard of Kiev\u2019s nightlife revolution have excellent English skills.<\/li>\n<li>Do double check the hours. In a dynamic city like Kiev, venues are constantly opening and closing &#8211; or undergoing renovations. Google may not be up to date with all the businesses, so to double check if a place is open look for them on social media.<\/li>\n<li>Do check for special events. There is something unique to do almost every weekend, whether it\u2019s a craft beer festival or a factory rave. The best place to find information on upcoming events is social media &#8211; nearly everything is publicised online. While much of it is in Ukrainian, if you\u2019re armed with Google Translate you should be able to decipher what\u2019s happening.<\/li>\n<li>Do your own research! This is just a basic primer on all the options nightlife in Kiev can offer you! Even after living here for almost two years, I\u2019m constantly finding new places, and my list of favourites just keeps getting longer. The best way to do this is when you\u2019re on the ground &#8211; talk to locals to see where they hang out. I\u2019ve gotten the best recommendations from bartenders themselves (they\u2019re too busy out having fun to leave Google reviews).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121719 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kiev-nightlife.jpg\" alt=\"kiev nightlife, a view of saint andrews church on the hill\" width=\"875\" height=\"470\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve read a local\u2019s guide to nightlife in Kiev, are you ready to party the nights away Ukrainian style?
