Nightlife in Moscow
Moscow's notorious nightlife can be found everywhere in the city, from alternative venues in Kurskaya to cool clubs on Savvinskaya Naberezhnaya – home of current hotspot Soho Rooms. Live venues range from classical ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre to big-ticket live bands at B2. Clubs don't really get going until the early hours – 'pre-party' venues being the preferred option for Muscovites about town – and many pubs and bars open round the clock.
