Who decides which nightlife spots make the Local Picks?

The Local Picks are selected by our Moscow editorial team made up of people who live and explore the city’s nightlife regularly. They rely on first-hand experience and local knowledge, not algorithms or ads.

How often do you update the Local Picks for Moscow nightlife?

We review and update the nightlife picks every few months, since Moscow nightlife trends, openings, and closures can change quickly, especially across seasons.

Are the Local Picks suitable for tourists new to Moscow?

Yes, but the recommendations are more about authentic local experiences than touristy places. If you like places where locals hang out, these picks are a good start.

Do you only recommend places in central Moscow?

While many picks are in central areas like Kitay-Gorod and Arbat, we also include interesting spots in other neighbourhoods where locals go out, like the Design District or even farther out.

Is it easy to get into these nightlife spots without a reservation?

It depends. Clubs and popular bars on weekends often require booking ahead. For smaller bars, you can usually walk in early in the evening.

Are the selected nightlife spots open year-round?

Most are, but some seasonal venues,like rooftop bars,only operate during warmer months. Our picks note those details whenever relevant.

Do you take recommendations from locals outside the editorial team?

Our picks come from the editorial team's own experiences combined with trusted local insights, but all final decisions are made by the team themselves.
