The best beer bars - Saint-Petersburg (Санкт-Петербург) - Russie in 2025

Practical information : Take a break Saint-Petersburg (Санкт-Петербург)

Timetable

Good news, bars are very often open until late, even very late, around 4-6am on weekends and 2am during the week. If your first choice closes early, you'll have no problem extending the party elsewhere.

Budget & Tips

Tips are not very common but always welcome. You will often see a tip box on the counter for those who appreciate service.
Credit cards and smartphone payments are accepted almost everywhere except in the old ryumochnayas.
Happy hours are not common, but drinks are much cheaper than in France, so it's not too much trouble to find one.

Age restrictions

In Russia, you have to be 18 years old to be served alcoholic beverages or to buy them in the supermarket. If you look younger, take a piece of ID with you as it will be required and both the rules and the controls are very coercive for drinking establishments and shops. And, ladies, don't be offended if they don't ask for your ID.

Kids

Many establishments serving alcohol are perfectly acceptable for children accompanied by their parents, but until it is not too late. We count on your common sense.

Tourist traps

As for restaurants, the best bars are rarely located on the most touristy routes such as the Nevski perspective. We do not recommend Doumskaya Street for a drink, even if you come across locals who recommend it. Known at the time as one of the main streets of the party and bars, it is a bit of a Thirst Street that would have gone wrong. It became a pledge of bad taste, and sometimes of danger.
