How To Plan the Perfect Yacht Birthday Party

Celebrate your most stylish birthday yet with an unforgettable yacht birthday party. read our tips on how to plan for hosting a birthday party on a yacht.

Whether your ideal celebration includes a large group of friends, a family gathering, or a romantic day with your partner, a yacht birthday party ensures the day goes down as one of the best birthdays in history.

Boataffair can help you throw the perfect yacht birthday party - from the planning to the location - and will make sure your special day goes off without a hitch.

Can you rent a yacht for a birthday party?

You can rent a yacht for a birthday party. The combination of sumptuous luxury and a unique setting make for an unforgettable party experience! Boataffair offer half or full-day charters on a fleet of luxury superyachts in worldwide hotspots like the Greek Islands, party-hardy Miami, sun-soaked Marbella, and sophisticated Dubai.

Yacht birthday parties range from sophisticated to wild, and the tone of the party is entirely up to you. For example, if you're celebrating a 20-something’s big day, then champagne, birthday cake, music and water toys will be central to the celebrations. However if you’re looking for a more refined experience, perhaps for a 60th birthday party, then a gourmet meal experience aboard a superyacht could be just the ticket.

Choose from vessels like the Sunseeker 90 for a larger group. For a medium sized gathering, the spacious Azimut 43 Fly Motor Yacht  is highly recommended. And what can beat the opulent Ferretti 92 Motor Yacht if you’re really looking to impress your guests.

How do you host a birthday party on a yacht?

There are many elements to consider if you are planning to host a birthday party on a yacht. Below is a list of things to consider when you’re playing host for someone else’s big day, or planning your own party:

• Location Picking the right location for your party is key. What kind of scenery do you prefer? For example beaches, or a cityscape. Are water activities a priority? Is there a particular location that offers things to do beyond the yacht charter (an island to visit, a restaurant to dine in, etc.)?
• Weather Optimal weather is a factor when considering the location. Weather varies depending on the season, so make sure you check your potential destination to make sure you’re not planning a trip during a stormy season! Or, if a little rain doesn’t bother you, opt for a vessel that has plenty of cabin/covered space for you and your guests.
• Party Theme Do you want to let loose and throw the party of the year? Or is your event to be more of a sophisticated evening with fine dining? Parties come in many shapes and forms and Boataffair can cater to each end of the spectrum.
• Food and drink Boataffair can arrange for a chef to cook your party a gourmet meal onboard or organize an evening on land at a 5-star restaurant. Onboard snacks, drinks, and alcohol can also be requested.
• Planning Service Boataffair caters to whatever the occasion calls for—that can mean anything from balloons, decorations, food/drink, a live DJ, special music, dancing, and much more! We’re happy to accommodate specific requests to make the day extra special!

How many people can fit on a party yacht?

Most of our private yachts are designed to legally carry a maximum of 12 people. This is because a yacht which carries more than 12 people it is considered a 'Passenger ship' and must comply with extensive SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations.

Can you have more than 12 guests on a yacht?

At Boataffair, we do not typically rent out boats for more than 12 people. This is due to Boataffair’s focus on private, premier yachting.

We don't operate as a mass-market service; instead, we reserve our boats for boutique experiences for families, groups of friends, and couples. This is why most of our yachts are limited to 12 people or less.

Additionally, many of our motor yachts are designed to legally carry no more than 12 people, and often overnight stays allow for a maximum of 8-10 people.

You’ll want to keep in mind how many people can fit on a yacht before you start building your guest list. But don't worry, you can have wonderful birthday parties on our yachts with less than 12 people!

Please reach out to us if you have questions about your guest list and we will work with you to find a yacht option that best matches your party style. We do have some options that allow for big groups, but we specialize in and excel with parties of 12 or less as well.

Boataffair offers special occasion charter yachts across the globe and the location of the birthday cruise dictates how the experience plays out. If you have fond memories of a past trip to the Mediterranean, Boataffair offers dreamy day cruises with miles of stunning scenery in Greece, Croatia, Malta. If a party atmosphere is more your speed, book your big day in pulsing party destinations like Miami or Dubai. Looking for a more laid-back experience? Spain and London provide the elegance of a more subtle affair.  

Wherever and however you choose to celebrate, make your (or a loved one’s) next birthday one to remember with a charter yacht celebration

Host a Boat Party with These 9 Boat Party Theme Ideas

Table of Contents

If you’re seeking a unique and unforgettable way to bring your loved ones together, hosting a boat party is the perfect answer.

Picture this: a gentle breeze, sparkling waters, and the camaraderie of your closest friends and family members, all aboard a stylish boat rental (thanks, Boatsetter !) To help you start planning your best boat party, we’ve compiled a list of nine themes for a boat party they’ll never forget.

• Nautical extravaganza
• Tropical paradise
• Pirate adventure
• Under the sea
• Gatsby glamor
• Hawaiian luau
• Mardi Gras madness
• All-white party

Got your party hat on? Let’s dive right in.

Boatsetter’s happy to help—Throw your party on a boat rental!

1. Nautical extravaganza

Lean into the magic of being on the water with a Nautical Extravaganza boat party theme. Think navy and white decorations, ropes, and sailor hats. Your guests can dress the part in sailor and captain costumes, or keep it simple with white attire and navy accents.

Whether you’re catering or cooking yourself, fish and chips is a simple classic, as timeless as the nautical theme! And you can spice things up with a signature Captain’s Punch or Blue Lagoon Cocktails.

2. Tropical paradise

Transform your boat into a slice of serenity with a Tropical Paradise boat party. Illuminate your decks with tiki torches, hang vibrant palm leaves, and drape colorful fabrics to recreate the lush allure of a tropical oasis.

Bring this boat party theme to life with Piña Coladas and Mai Tais, served alongside coconut shrimp, Hawaiian BBQ skewers, and a tropical fruit platter!

3. Pirate adventure

Plan a boat party with an adventurous twist when you set sail on a Pirate Adventure. Decorate with treasure chests, rustic maps, and skull-and-crossbones. Your crew can look the part with pirate hats, bandanas, and eye patches. For a fun activity, organize a ship-wide treasure hunt.

We recommend a themed menu with dishes like Buccaneer’s BBQ ribs and “Shiver Me Timbers” Seafood Gumbo. As for drinks, offer Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktails, made with rum and ginger beer, or mix your own Pirate’s Punch.

4. Under the sea

Dive into the depths with an Under the Sea Fantasy theme. Use shades of blue and green, with shimmering decorations to mimic the ocean’s allure. If your guests want to go all in, encourage them to wear mermaid costumes, pirate costumes, or fish-inspired looks.

Serve up “sea-themed sips”, like an Ocean Breeze, made with blue curaçao and vodka, or a Seashell Spritzer (add edible glitter for an unforgettable sparkle).

5. Gatsby glamor

Gatsby Glamor is a gateway boat party theme idea. You can step back into the roaring twenties with a Gatsby theme, or pick whatever era excites you the most (60s, 70s, 80s, and so on!)

Sticking with Gatsby: infuse your boat with the opulence of the era. We recommend gold accents, Art Deco glamor, feather centerpieces, and a champagne tower. A live jazz band can set the tone of your luxurious affair.

Taste the twenties with a menu of Oysters Rockefeller, cocktail shrimp, and Gatsby-style canapés, complimented with Champagne Cocktails and Sidecars.

6. Neon glow

If you’re hosting a boat party after dark, a Neon Glow theme is the perfect way to light up the night. Illuminate your boat with black lights and fluorescent decorations. Enhance the atmosphere with neon-colored cocktails, glow-in-the-dark games, and upbeat music .

We recommend taking your boat party to the next level with a professional DJ and laser light show!

7. Hawaiian luau

A Hawaiian Luau is another classic boat party theme idea. Your guests can kick back in Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and flower leis. Colorful flowers, tiki torches, and bamboo décor will transform your boat into an island escape.

A Tropical Breeze Cooler is the perfect signature cocktail for your Luau. Mix coconut rum (or coconut water for a non-alcoholic option) with pineapple juice, orange juice, cranberry juice, and a splash of grenadine for a swirl of tropical flavors.

8. Mardi Gras madness

Capture the vivacious energy of New Orleans with the Mardi Gras Madness boat party theme. Bedeck your boat with traditional Mardi Gras colors (purple, green, and gold) and encourage your guests to wear masks, beads, and feathers to bring this theme alive. You can curate a festive ambiance by hiring a jazz band and serving traditional Cajun cuisine.

9. All-white party

For our last boat party theme idea, we recommend throwing a White Party. White parties are the perfect way to create casual elegance. Decorate your vessel with whites, creams, and soft ambient lighting. Guests should wear all white to fit the theme and create a fully immersive experience.

Top it off with a menu of white-themed drinks and dishes, like White Russians, Peach Bellinis, lobster rolls, and caprese skewers.

On hosting the best boat party

Turning 21 is a big milestone, so it’s only natural that you’ll want to celebrate it in style! Coming up with the perfect activity can take some thought, but if you need help brainstorming ideas, you’ve come to the right place. Read on for a complete guide to 21st birthday activities, party themes, and celebration inspiration.

Things You Should Know

• Throw a party at home! Host a themed costume party, a slumber party, or a game night.
• Go out and enjoy dinner or brunch with your friends. Visit attractions like an amusement park, a spa, a concert, or go on a road trip.
• Do outdoorsy party activities like a picnic or scavenger hunt. Host a bonfire with lots of s’mores.

Share a fancy dinner with friends.

• Try a tapas, fondue, or family dining restaurant—somewhere that will give you dishes that can feed a whole table of people rather than everyone ordering individually.
• If you're having a big party and want catering, order everyone the same entre to save some cash. It'll be much cheaper than giving people an option.
• You could also sign up for a cooking class and make the gourmet dinner yourself—with a couple of friends helping!

Have a boozy bottomless brunch.

• Host brunch at your place instead, and invite everyone for food and cocktails. You could even set up an omelet or pancake bar for attendees.
• Take an online mixology class with your whole group of friends before the party so you know how to make all the best cocktails.

Bring a picnic to the park or beach.

• Planning the picnic is easier if everyone brings something. Ask each guest to bring some food, and coordinate in a group chat to ensure nobody brings the same thing.
• If you go to a park, you could turn a simple picnic into a whole field day! Play lawn games and outdoor team games like tug-of-war, capture the flag and relay racing.
• When you're planning an outdoor party, always have a backup plan in case the weather is stormy.

Belt out some tunes at karaoke.

• If you don’t mind performing for a crowd, you could also go to a karaoke bar where anyone can get up and sing. And if you need a little extra confidence, you could order some drinks at the bar!

Go on a pub crawl.

• Make sure you have a designated driver or hire a driver to bring your group to each bar.
• For some variety, try hitting up different types of bars! For instance, you might visit an Irish pub, a tiki bar, a lounge, a beer garden, or a bar with live music.

Throw a costume party.

• For example, you might throw a Y2K-themed party and have everyone show up in early 2000s fashion.
• Other themes might include your favorite movie franchise, TV show, or game.
• Themes can also be an aesthetic or time period, like “masquerade,” “Hollywood glamor,” or “disco”

Have a 1920s-themed party.

Organize a scavenger hunt.

• Most scavenger hunts end with a grand prize for the winner, but you could also hide smaller gifts for people to find along the way.

Host an old-fashioned slumber party.

• Don’t be afraid to host your birthday party at home instead of a more “glamorous” location. Guests enjoy parties in familiar spaces; your home will make them feel comfortable.

Do a game night with friends.

• Classic games could include Twister, Pictionary, Monopoly, Clue, Settlers of Catan, and Jenga.
• If you pick a video game, be sure to pick something multiple people can play at once. For example, you could have a Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros tournament.
• You could also have a tabletop RPG (roleplaying game) night and do a session of your favorite RPG—like playing Dungeons & Dragons , for instance.

Want to plan the perfect game night? Start by locking down a comfortable location. Whether it's a game store, park, or your own home, choose a place where everyone can relax and have fun. If you're hosting at home, tidy up the space and make sure there's enough seating. And remember, board games are best played when sitting upright at a table, not on the floor!

Head out to a concert.

• If you can’t afford a big-name concert or musical at the moment, look for local band gigs and community theater performances instead. They’re significantly cheaper—and sometimes free.

Treat yourself to a spa day.

• If a professional spa treatment isn’t in the budget right now, why not have a spa day at home? Invite your friends over and give yourselves manicures and facials.
• To make the day extra special, you could always go out for brunch and champagne afterward.

Go on a road trip.

• If you have the time and the funds, you could also make it into a mini-vacation and rent a hotel room or two with your friends.

Sail away on a day cruise.

• If you’re looking for something a little rowdier, try an evening booze cruise instead. After all, over-the-top isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

Rent a party bus.

• Be sure to verify the capacity of the bus you’re renting before sending invites. Many party buses are plenty big, though; some can fit up to 50 or 60 people.

Have a casino night.

• Some casinos are also resorts. If you have the time and funds, you could rent a room or two at the resort and make a small vacation out of your birthday.

Visit an amusement park.

• If you prefer games to rides but still want a high-energy atmosphere for your party, try going to the arcade or challenging your friends to a night of bowling instead.

Plan a bonfire.

• You could also plan an entire camping trip with tents and sleeping bags and camp out under the stars for your birthday.
• Plan ahead so you have a backup plan if it gets rainy. For instance, you might roast marshmallows around the stove or a fireplace instead of going outside.

Head to a drive-in movie theater.

• Some places also do movie nights in parks and on rooftops, where you don’t necessarily have to stay near your car. Search locally for an outdoor movie experience that appeals to you.

Having sufficient food onboard to abide by RSA guidelines is compulsory on all cruises. The majority of boats and yachts up to 45 guests, will allow you to BYO food. Most boats have onboard BBQs and the crew will cook your food. We will let you know upon enquiring if your boat has the BYO food option available so there will be no surprises.

Larger catamarans, yachts, and event boats are especially suitable for hosting DJ parties. Upon booking, we will inform you if having a DJ onboard is possible on your chosen boat.

Pricing and options for DJ services are available upon request, so please let us know if you need any assistance with this.

Depending on the vessel, this is possible. In particular, catamarans are a great option for a day of water play on Sydney Harbour. If you are on a vessel that has easy water access included, your captain will take you to the perfect secluded swimming spots. Please let our team know if swimming is something you’re interested upon enquiring.

Boats will head out in all weather conditions when deemed safe by the captain. If the weather is deemed unsafe and the captain needs to cancel, you will receive a 12-month voucher. This voucher is equal to the value of your booking and can be used to reschedule your charter. The past years we’ve had quite a few groups out with a bit of rain, and they all still had an amazing time! There is plenty of space on the boats to keep dry, and sometimes a little rain even adds to the fun!

21st Birthday Party Ideas - Boat Party

If you're looking for a fun, exclusive and memorable occasion for your 21st birthday party, a boat is an excellent venue all year round, offering a private floating bar/restaurant experience on Sydney Harbour - the best harbour in the world. Not all cruises are the same however, so below are some popular cruise ideas for your 21st.

Boat Party Ideas:

1. The Family Friendly Boat Party - A lot of the 21st birthday parties we do have a mixture of friends and older family such as parents, aunts and uncles etc. These are some of our most successful cruises and it's amazing to see the different generations celebrating this special occasion together. These parties normally involve an open bar package, often with a sit down meal sometimes followed by a quick speech or two. 2. Surprise Birthday - Another popular cruise involves surprising your best friend or partner with a boat full of their friends. With a little bit of planning we can pick everyone up on the boat just before pulling up next to the birthday victim. 3. The Dance Party - So often there's a friend of a friend who's a keen DJ that would love the chance to perform on a boat, so you're welcome to bring them along to liven up the party. We can also provide experienced DJs and sound equipment. It's important to note that not all boats have AC power for this so please do let us know in advance if this is your intention. 4. Fun in the Sun - For the smaller groups the catamarans are great for cruising around close in to shore and anchoring up for a BBQ and a swim and generally lounging around in the sun. 5. The Budget Cruise - As is often the case for 21st birthdays, guests may be paying for the cruise, in which case you might want a more budget friendly boat with BYO food & drink options. Just keep in mind that everyone needs to have plenty of food whilst on-board to abide by the responsible service of alcohol.

Ensuring a Safe Cruise:

As you can imagine 21st birthday parties do generally tend to involve more drinking than your average cruise which means that not all boats are suitable, and security staff may be required for certain parties to ensure your event runs smoothly. The key to a great and memorable cruise is often to get the right group on the right boat which is why we like to discuss your expectations via email or phone.

Booking a Boat:

Boat parties are an excellent venue all year round, not just the summer months, particularly with the more enclosed boats that offering a floating bar/restaurant experience with superb views of the harbour. The best place to start is to have a browse through the fleet of party boats for hire and make an enquiry through the site with one or 2 of your preferred boats to get more information or give us a call.

Here's how andrea brillantes celebrated her 21st birthday, the birthday queen partied in style, grace libero-cruz.

Andrea Brillantes just turned 21, and she's embracing that Gen Z Queen energy for her birthday celebration.

The birthday queen had a yacht party at the Manila Yacht Club . Those who were present in the chic and intimate event included her mom Belle ; her closest friends  Bea Borres ,  Ashley del Mundo , B ianca de Vera , and Kyle Echarri ; and her g lam team (fashion stylist  Eldzs Mejia , makeup artist  Marben Talana y , and hair stylist  Aries Mana l ).    

Andrea, who's always been known for her fun personality and standout fashion and beauty looks, stood out in a sea of white-clad guests. She wore a lovely pink, embellished dress (which features a square neckline, puff sleeves, corset bodice, and a flared ruffled skirt) by designer AJ Javier , as styled by Eldzs. To match her outfit, there were also pink balloons that punctuated the edges of the yacht. 

Her outfit was accessorized with oversized sunglasses, a crown, and a sash that says "birthday queen." Her choice of footwear? White flip-flops—because why not?!

The party was complete with a DJ, a food spread with fruits and pastries, and of course, birthday cakes (one of which is by OLA Bakes ).

The afternoon event continued until the sunset and well into the night, with the pitch black skies lending the perfect backdrop for a stunning firework display.

Andrea celebrates 21st birthday with fun, intimate yacht party

Mary ann bardinas march 18, 2024 10:45 pm.

Last March 12, Senior High  star Andrea Brillantes marked her 21 st  birthday! And to celebrate this special milestone, she decided to throw a fun, intimate yacht party attended by her beloved family and her closest friends, which she shared in her latest vlog.

According to her, she and her girlfriends were supposed to be in Las Vegas, Nevada for her birthday escapade, but her visa didn’t come right in time because she opted to attend Taylor Swift’s concert in Tokyo, Japan last February.

Andrea made the whole place shimmer in a mini fuchsia pink dress that she paired with a tiara, a pair of pearl drop earrings, and cute sunglasses – a mesmerizing look she revealed was actually inspired by a meme.

Among those who were present at her party were her Mommy Belle and his siblings Kayla Aan, Nina, and Kismet, and friends Kyle Echarri, Bianca de Vera, Bea Borres, Danica Ongtengco, and Ashley del Mundo.

At night, there was a splendid fireworks display and a wild karaoke and dance session while aboard the yacht, which everyone apparently enjoyed! Thus, Andrea conveyed in the outro of her vlog how happy and satisfied she was with everything that happened at her birthday fete.

She also didn’t forget to thank everyone who took the time to greet her, send her presents, and watch this vlog.

“ Sa lahat po ng nag -greet sa akin sa  birthday ko , thank you so much. Sa lahat ng nanood ng  vlog ko , thank you so much. Sana po nag -enjoy kayo. At sa mga nanonood pa ng mga  vlogs ko simula noong  18 ako , thank you po sa inyo . I love you all so much. And I’m finally 21. I can’t believe, tumantanda na ako. Ito na talaga , adulthood begins now!” she enthused.

She completely capped off the vlog by giving a shout-out to all her friends who came to celebrate with her despite the very short notice.

Nightlife City Guide

Moscow: nightlife and clubs

Moscow nightlife: despite the freezing weather, the Russian capital gets hot as the sun goes down. Between discos, luxury, exaggerated parties and beautiful Russian girls, the Moscow nightlife offers everything you need for memorable nights.

Moscow nightlife

The city of Moscow is definitely one of the most interesting European cities: the stories about underground lines and secret bunkers, the architecture of its buildings, from the Kremlin to St. Basil's Cathedral, up to the Soviet style of the Seven Sisters and modern skyscrapers, make the Russian capital is a unique and fascinating city.

One of the many things that Moscow is famous for is its wild nightlife . Moscow never sleeps. If there is anything true about Russians, it is that they love to party! Despite its freezing weather, Moscow turns out to be a hot city with endless fun, hip nightclubs, extreme luxury, beautiful Russian girls and lots of booze when night falls!

In fact, in recent years, the Russian capital has definitively abandoned the gray period of communism and its inhabitants have given vent to their desire for fun. As you might expect in a city of over 12 million people, Moscow has an amazing array of nightlife options and a huge choice for all tastes, whether you are a jazz fan, hardcore clubbers or just plain old alcoholics. The nightlife in Moscow winds through a multitude of alternative and transgressive nightclubs where the watchword is to meet new people and spend a night of unbridled and uninhibited fun . In addition to the numerous discos, in the Russian capital there are also 20 casinos open until dawn. For those who want a break of intriguing relaxation, in the city of Moscow there are also numerous massage salons .

Most of Moscow's nightclubs contain a restaurant, a bar area and a nightclub (the larger ones also have bowling alleys, billiards and a casino!). Perhaps because Moscow is such a large metropolis with very cold temperatures and taxis are so expensive that the owners of the bars and clubs want to offer their customers an all in one place for night entertainment.

So, in other words, Moscow is not the best city in the world for bar-crawling, especially bearing in mind that these multipurpose venues often charge entrance, but rather it is better to carefully choose the club where to spend the night.

For a quieter and more sober evening, head for an evening stroll along the Via Arbat or the Red Square to be fascinated by the lights of the city and the grandeur of the buildings, and admire the shops and street artists. An alternative to experience Moscow's nightlife is to spend an evening of lyric, ballet or opera. The Russian capital is home to around sixty theaters, the most famous of which is the world-renowned Bolshoi Theater (Theater Square, 1, Moscow).

Moscow nightlife districts

Moscow's nightlife is not concentrated in a single district but is scattered throughout the city. However, there are areas with a greater concentration of bars and nightclubs .

The Krasnij Oktjabr (Russian for "Red October") complex, a red brick building located on the island in the center of the Moscow River that once housed a chocolate factory, is dotted with numerous trendy nightclubs and offers spectacular views of the river and the symbolic places of the Russian capital. This is where the most glamorous parties in Moscow take place, there are numerous bars, restaurants and art galleries.

Other neighborhoods with good nightlife are the old manufactory area near the Russian government building which houses some bars, the area around the Trubnaya metro and around Kuznetsky Most , while the Kurskaya groups the clubs with electronic music. We can also mention the area of ​​the Patriarch's ponds, an area that is teeming with quiet bars.

Clubs and discos in Moscow

The crowd is very mixed. Students, young professionals, techno lovers, tourists all gather at Propaganda. Everyone comes to enjoy the music and have fun. It is one of the few clubs where the dancefloor dominates and there are hardly any tables, apart from a few that overlook the entire space. Propaganda is a restaurant until midnight. You can come earlier for dinner and stay for dancing. After midnight, the staff clears the tables from the dance floor and the whole place turns into a club. The place is different from the usual Moscow restaurant / club hybrids, however, because the atmosphere changes completely from "relaxed restaurant" to "underground electro club". Not to be missed.

There are more areas with different music. In the first area, expect a mix of traditional music and Russian pop songs. In the second, slightly larger area, there is live Russian pop music until 2am. After that it is mostly some kind of electronic music. The club is frequented by beautiful Russian girls around 18-25 years old, stunning students or models, and of course there is a good deal of young Russians, middle-aged men and foreign tourists trying their luck! Unlike many other nightclubs, the Icon is a pure nightclub and not a club turned into a restaurant. In any case, if you like to party in a big club and want to savor the typical Moscow nightlife , this is the perfect solution.

The crowd is the same as in other high-end Moscow clubs. Men are rarely under the age of 35 and are committed to giving the impression that money is not an issue. The women are amazing even by Moscow nightlife - if you want to meet Moscow's super models, this is the place! Ideal if you want to toast with the Moscow elite.

The club is located on two floors. The lower floor is mainly frequented by people hanging out at the bar and is good for conversation. The narrow stairs that perfectly fit the student atmosphere of the club take you to the main floor where the real party takes place, complete with a bedlam and girls dancing on the bar counter. In the summer months there is also an outdoor terrace. The place is always crowded and bouncers unnecessarily queue people - having a table or someone inside can be the key to skipping the queue. Otherwise, you might end up waiting half an hour or more. Come early or come back late if you want to avoid the crowds.

The crowd that frequents this club is quite mixed. People are less trendy and more underground. The place is suitable for afterhours, so most people arrive from 3am onwards.

Immediately upon entering, you will have the feeling that you have come to the local high school graduation prom instead of a real Moscow nightclub. There is no real interior design, but basically just a large hall with a stage and a bar. The crowd is almost entirely made up of teenagers and young people. Not many of the teens speak English, but it probably doesn't matter after all the alcohol. The music ranges from Russian pop and hip-hop to the most famous international hits. Perfect if you want to party and drink alcohol in one of the cheapest clubs in Moscow .

Here too, it's full of beautiful girls and it's also a great place to hit them off, as those who come here are notoriously more approachable. The advice is to be very firm with the girls who approach and to make your intentions clear. If you want to be 100% sure to get in, come at 2am when the club is still uncrowded.

Oblaka plays a mix of Russian and international pop music. Occasionally, as in many other clubs, there are performances by Russian pop singers. As is often the case in these types of clubs, the music and DJ are not the best but the guests don't seem to care.

Moscow's bars and pubs

The bar looks similar but still distinctly different than regular Moscow posh clubs. Most of the people who frequent this place are over 25, and you can find everything from young professionals to creative types to self-proclaimed models. Great if you want to see the "real Muscovites" celebrate without the overblown flashes of wealth. The proposed music is a strange mix of old and new commercial songs and Russian pop.

Downstairs is a large open space that opens its doors wide in the summer. The interior is rustic, yet elegant, with wooden furnishings and plenty of seating. The interior combined with Ugolek's popularity creates a crowded yet intimate atmosphere, especially on weekends. People come to chat, drink and eat. The upstairs bar has a more welcoming atmosphere. It is smaller, with soft lighting and armchairs to be able to relax. On weekends there is a DJ who mixes electronic music and transforms the bar into a relaxed place, ideal for the pre-party.
