2 Best Nightlife in Kiev, Ukraine

The Kiev location of the famous Parisian chain lives up to the brand’s global reputation. Featuring the chain's signature red and black interiors and giant Buddha statue, it's a good place for cocktails, hookahs, and East Asian appetizers. The music is the loungey global electronica with which the brand is synonymous, and there are frequent live DJs, often with accompanying percussionists.

Among Kiev’s more chilled-out venues, Shooters is a popular hookah bar that frequently hosts parties in their second-floor dance club and karaoke nights in their sushi restaurant/karaoke lounge. The vibe is casual and unpretentious, especially by local standards, and the complex draws in a generally friendly and playful crowd.
