Dance & Groove (former Tchaikovski)

Dance & Groove pretty much says what this club has to offer. It has been open recently to replace Tchaikovski - a popular nightclub with a large dancefloor and lots of cocktails.

Decadence
Shota Rustaveli, Kiev
Decadence has very nice interior, ok drinks but not very good music. The dance floor is very small. Cover 200 Hr if you want a table, otherwise guys after ten pay 100 Hr.

Faberge
