Butlin’s Bognor Regis – Dining Plans, Restaurant Reviews and Which Accommodation to Choose?

I’ve written a detailed review of our Just for Tots break at Butlins Bognor Regis and also written a separate post on how to book activities at Butlins , as a lot of people have been asking about that. What I hadn’t done yet is review the accommodation and restaurants – as I’m sure a lot of people are also wondering which is the best hotel at Butlin’s, what is the food like at Butlins and is the Butlins DineAround plan worth it? So let’s take each one of these in order.

Butlin’s Bognor Regis accommodation – what are the options?

When I was a child and went to Butlin’s in the 80s we stayed in a caravan and did self catering. I know my parents weren’t particularly impressed by the caravan and I do remember it feeling a bit small, particularly the bedroom I shared with my sister which was big enough for bunk beds and not much else. But Butlin’s has changed massively since then – and even my husband who is very choosy and generally prefers luxury hotels was happy with the accommodation! For one thing, there are no caravans at Butlin’s Bognor Regis any more – though the other two resorts at Minehead and Skegness (which are bigger) do. Instead, there are self catering apartments and hotels with either rooms or apartments. One of the hotels was built in 2012 (the Wave) and another in 2018 (Ocean) so they are very new and modern. There are also Deluxe Lodges but not many – whenever I have looked no matter how far in advance they have been unavailable. The rooms all have different names – silver, new style silver, gold, and then according to the hotels they are in. When we originally booked you could filter the accommodation by star rating but I can’t see that as an option any more or any mention of star ratings in the descriptions. Sorting by price should give you a fair idea of quality;  you can compare what each type of accommodation includes here .

The first decision is whether you want kitchen and dining facilities for self catering or if you want to eat out (either on site or off site). Below I have reviewed the hotel that we stayed in.

Review of the Ocean hotel, Butlin’s Bognor Regis

We chose the Ocean hotel for several reasons – first, it had the highest star rating of any (though see above, I’m not sure the hotels advertise ratings any more); plus it has its own car park. There’s a car park right next to the hotel whereas for a lot of the accommodation at Butlin’s you will need to park in the main car park by the swimming pool, which is on the far side of the site to a lot of the accommodation. Apparently there are luggage trolleys you can use but it was a lot easier this way.

We paid extra to have a room on the top floor with a sea view; we mainly had a view over the fairground which was really nice too and could see the sea in the distance; Butlin’s is only over the road from the beach but the Ocean hotel is at the back of the Butlin’s site. Of course it did also mean we had a great view of the main car park but if we looked to the right we could largely ignore that!

The location of the hotel is pretty good; you are only a couple of minutes walk from the pool and probably about five minutes from the Skyline pavilion, once you get out of the hotel of course. There are two lifts and five floors with 200 rooms in total, and given the rooms can only be accessed from 3pm and most people arrive on-site earlier to use the facilities, be prepared for long queues at 3pm. Also, I’ve seen people on Facebook regularly complain that one (or occasionally even both) of the lifts were not working and taking the stairs could be quite a challenge especially if you have a buggy or luggage. So while a top floor room was great if you have any mobility issues perhaps a lower floor is better.

The Ocean hotel also has a spa which I didn’t get to see – maybe next time!

The room itself was quite spacious and modern; we had a living room area with a sofa bed that we used as a sofa, and another chair, plus the double bed. The second bedroom had two small single beds with an open doorway (ie there is no door that you can shut) that was perfect for our daughter. We had brought a bed guard with us (you can also hire them on site subject to availability) which was easy to slip under the mattress to make sure she didn’t fall out, as the beds are a good couple of feet off the ground. Her room also had a little TV facing each bed and some superhero style ‘pow!’ words on the wall.

Our room had a small fridge which was bigger than I was expecting – plenty of room for drinks and snacks. The bathroom was fine and everything was clean and modern – though my parents who had another room ok the same floor said they only had one coffee cup even though it was a double room and my father in law who had another room had two coffee cups but they were dirty. Still those are only small complaints and overall we were pretty happy with the room and the hotel. We really didn’t spend much time in it at all – we had glorious weather and didn’t return to the room once we had left in the morning until after we had seen a show in the evening (apart from going back to collect swimming gear) at which point it was straight to bed for our three year old and collapse on the bed right after ourselves!

Dining plans, DineAround and restaurants at Butlin’s Bognor Regis

Butlin’s has a variety of options for eating in its on site restaurants. You can self cater – there is a small Co-op supermarket on site which had a good selection of food and essentials though if you need a lot, it’s probably better to either bring things with you or go to a supermarket in town. Also, one day I went into the on site shop at 1pm intending to buy sandwiches for lunch and the packet sandwich section had been completely stripped bear – so if you do want to buy sandwiches for lunch go early!

If you are staying in the Ocean or Shoreline hotel you can book ‘hotel dining’ which gives you breakfast and a buffet dinner at £28.95 per day for adults. Or there is Food Court Dining (from £21.75 per adult a day), which doesn’t matter where you stay – this gives you breakfast (served by staff but unlimited) and a changing menu for dinner every evening, with five or six different options for the main course each day ranging from roasts to curries, pasta, pies, fish and chips and more, with a vegetarian option (though seemingly only one each day) and a children’s menu plus desserts and an ice cream factory.

Then there is Premium Dining (£28.95 a day) where you will be allocated a restaurant – either the Yacht Club or the Deck. The sample menus available online look similar to that of Food Court Dining but with more choice and in the Deck, the addition of live cooking stations making burgers to order as well as other meats. I’ve read mixed reviews of both and we decided against them last time but I would be curious to try them if/when we go back.

Finally, there is the DineAround plan, which is more expensive at £32.95 a day for adults and allows you to prepay to eat in most of the branded restaurants on site – again you get breakfast and a two course dinner with a drink.

You can see sample menus for all of the restaurants on the Butlin’s website in the Bognor Regis section.

Are the dining packages at Butlin’s good value?

The price of the dining packages may seem steep as it has to be for all members of your group for the entire duration of your stay and you can’t mix and match, but when you consider the cost of eating out (two courses and a drink) normally I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all. However, I wouldn’t normally eat a big or indeed a cooked breakfast and would prefer to do self catering at breakfast and eat a sandwich or in a cafe for lunch then a restaurant for evening. You can of course do that and pay as you go, but for one problem. It seems that only people who have a dining package can actually book a table in the restaurants for a particular time, and otherwise you risk having to wait or even being turned away. This is fairly key if you have small children in your party who can’t wait an hour extra for dinner or you have booked a show to watch or even if you just want to be able to have dinner when you want to. When I asked Butlin’s in advance of our break they told me that you can also book restaurants on the day if you have a dining plan but that it isn’t guaranteed and I had seen enough Facebook posts from people saying they had to wait hours for a table at one of the restaurants that I didn’t want to risk it.

We booked the DineAround plan for that reason – with a relatively large group of six adults and one child I thought it would give people more choice and more opportunities to find something they would like. 

How do you book restaurants on the DineAround plan?

Once the booking slot for your activities goes live (usually 7-14 days before your break – see here for more ) if you have the DineAround plan that’s when you can also select the restaurants you want to eat in each day. You are limited to choosing each restaurant no more than twice; the ones included in the DineAround plan at Bognor Regis are the Diner, the Beachcomber Inn, Papa John’s, Fish and Chips and the Firehouse Grill. However when I booked the only options we were given for breakfast were Papa John’s and the Beachcomber – the Diner also does breakfast but it didn’t come up as an option, so we ended up eating at each of those twice. We had four dinners to choose and five restaurants available so the one we missed out was the Firehouse Grill, as I had read several reviews where people had found the food there disappointing or at least not as good as the other restaurants.

Also on site there is a Burger King, inside the skyline pavilion (which isn’t part of any dining plans) and also a cafe inside the skyline, which provided a useful base at times for grandparents to sit and have a coffee. There’s also a cafe in the Wave hotel, a bar in the Ocean which was closed due to covid while we were there and an ice cream cafe with two branches, one of which was shut.

Here is my review of each of the restaurants we ate at.

Traditional Fish and Chip restaurant

This was our favourite restaurant at Butlin’s Bognor Regis. It looks gorgeous from the outside and the food was excellent, unfortunately it was really let down by the service.

It has indoor and outdoor seating which is lovely on a sunny day; there is also a separate takeaway restaurant next door with a different small seating area. They have sustainably sourced fish and other options like sausages and pies and there are a couple of vegetarian options. On the Dinearound plan we could have a main course and side dish and either a starter or a dessert. You can order fish and chips as a package which means you can choose another side dish like bread and butter, peas or salad, or you can have chips as your side dish if you have something like scampi, which I did – it was delicious and cooked just right. My husband enjoyed his sausage and chips and our parents had the traditional fish and chips which they said was very good. 

The children’s menu like all restaurants at Butlin’s is divided into tots and juniors which is good as it means you get the right portion size, and there is a bit more choice on the juniors menu for older children. My daughter loved her cod bites chips and peas!

My father-in-law was the only one of us who had opted for a starter instead of a dessert and I wished I had too when I saw the size of his prawn cocktail dessert which he said was excellent. However, we had to wait nearly an hour for the food, despite the restaurant being almost empty when we arrived at 5pm. When they did bring the food out, they brought my father-in-law’s starter and then the main courses for the rest of our table at the same time – including my father-in-law’s main course as well. He sent it back pointing out that his fish and chips would be cold if it sat there while he ate his main course, so they took it away – but didn’t replace it or even do anything to keep it warm as when he was ready for his main course they brought back the same dish, now cold.

The rest of us weren’t thrilled about having to wait an hour for food particularly with a hungry three year old, and also a show to watch at 6.30 – we had thought an hour and a half would be plenty of time for dinner. My husband, daughter and I ended up only eating our main course and leaving the restaurant before our desserts came, which we had of course already paid for due to the Dinearound plan, so that we could go to the show. Our parents meanwhile opted to stay and eat dessert which means they missed the show. It was really disappointing especially given how nice the food was.

Papa John’s – breakfast

Breakfast on the Dinearound package at Papa John’s was basically a full English unlimited buffet, with sausages, bacon, hash browns, beans, eggs and vegetarian options plus pancakes with chocolate sauce, as well as crossiants, yoghurts etc. I’m not really a breakfast person but I thought this was a good selection and decent food; there was never more than one or two people in the queue to get food either. I also liked the fact that they provided brightly coloured plastic plates for children.

Papa John’s – dinner

This is a genuine Papa John’s so if you are a fan of their pizza you won’t be disappointed. There are also pasta dishes as well as the usual Papa John’s sides, plus desserts. I had the chicken and pancetta tagliatelle which was very good but so creamy I couldn’t manage more than about half of it. My husband really enjoyed his pizza and there was something the whole family could enjoy – though as the portions were very large I don’t think any of us managed to finish our meals!

The Beachcomber Inn – breakfast

Pretty much the same food as at Papa John’s breakfast only instead of a buffet you order from a menu (so the food isn’t unlimited in quantity either). It was quite nice but we preferred the Papa John’s buffet.

You go to a table at the top end of the restaurant to get a hot drink which is dispensed for you by a member of staff. They only had small packets of long life milk and my three year old actually wanted a glass of milk. I asked the server who said they didn’t have any, only the tiny long life packed. I asked if they had milk back in the kitchen (thinking they must use it in cooking etc) and if there was any possibility my toddler could have a glass of milk with her breakfast and was again told no, quite abruptly. I was so surprised at that response that when our waitress came to our table to take our breakfast order I asked again and she said of course no problem, and came back a minute later with a cup of milk for my daughter!

The Beachcomber Inn – dinner

I would describe The Beachcomber as a family pub style restaurant. It has a pretty big selection of food including lighter bites and it’s easy to find something for everyone. However we thought the food was so-so – what I would consider cheap pub quality. I had a lasagne which was ok but really nothing special and chose to skip dessert as my daughter didn’t want to sit still any longer so I went to play with her while my husband had a square of chocolate brownie with ice cream. 

The Diner – dinner

I was looking forward to eating at this American diner style restaurant but didn’t realise that several items were excluded from the Dinearound plan – we could have a dessert but not a milkshake even though milkshakes were in the dessert section of the main menu, and my husband ended up paying extra so he could have one. I also found my burger quite dry and nowhere near as good as I was expecting but other people in our group who ordered different meals said they were good.

The service once again was extremely slow even though the restaurant wasn’t busy at all at first. On the other hand they were very kind when my daughter took one bite of her hot dog and dropped it on the floor and they replaced it straight away with another one at no charge. When you have small children little things like that really are very welcome!

It was a real shame the Diner didn’t come up as an option on Dinearound when I was booking breakfast as the breakfast menu there looked really nice!

Scoop ice cream cafe

Looks very pretty from the outside but I was a bit disappointed by the range of flavours on offer as there wasn’t anything particularly unusual – our local ice cream cafe offers a unicorn ice cream which is basically pink and blue mixed, and I think Butlin’s is missing a trick by not having something like this for children. They do have various toppings you can add though the one I selected from the menu was apparently out of stock and instead the server pointed to a large jar of mixed sprinkles which we could have instead. Still, an ice cream on holiday is pretty much a must have!

My advice in a nutshell

When it comes to meals at Butlin’s, what’s best for one family isn’t always what’s best for another. If my husband hadn’t been so set on a hotel room I probably would have gone for a self-catering apartment, though in fact we didn’t go back to our room all day and had lunch out or on the go. I would have preferred not to have a dining plan at all, and take things like pain-au-chocolate to have in our room for breakfast, and bought a light lunch in a cafe or the on site shop, if it weren’t for the fact I was worried we wouldn’t get a table in the restaurants in the evening. We went for DineAround for the choice and variety to suit everyone in our party, and on the whole it was pretty good, though the service was disappointingly slow. My advice if you are booking a holiday at Butlin’s is to ask yourself what would suit your family’s schedule, the type of food you enjoy, whether you want to eat in different places or the same restaurant each day, and if you think you might venture off-site into town or along the promenade or if you would prefer to stay on site. For me, the Ocean hotel and DineAround time worked best – and just this week I have booked our next trip to Butlin’s for later this year, when we will be staying in the Shoreline hotel and doing DineAround again. If you have been to Butlin’s Bognor Regis already let me know in the comments which is your preferred accommodation and where you eat!

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■

An unassuming exterior hides a grand hotel minutes from Red Square. Such a central area of Moscow bustles with history, both pre- and post-revolution, and half the joy of a stay here is being immersed in that. The feel: Russian aristocracy of old. The hotel’s staff are polished and attentive.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
