In the summertime the Vozduh Club becomes one of the most popular party locations in the city, bringing together many sought-after DJs.

A great combination for daytime fun.

3. Royal Beach

The Royal Beach is located on the Gulf of Finland providing a stunning view onto the water. The restaurant is more for the laid-back type of evenings and perfect for getting away from the busy city. The deep house music sets the perfect mood for a relaxing time.

5. Grebnoy Club

In the evening there is live music, DJs and movie screenings.

6. Sunday Ginza

Restaurant, European

Sunday Ginza is like spending your day in a country house. The open terrace looking out onto the beach is the perfect place to just enjoy a summer’s day. The restaurant may not have a bar atmosphere, but it upholds what Krestovsky island holds dear: a sea view, outdoor activities and maybe a glass of cold wine.

7. La Marseillaise

Restaurant, European

Although La Marseillaise is more of a restaurant than a bar and they take their wine very seriously. The wine list is fairly extensive and comes with a number of snacks to pair it with. From time to time the restaurant also hosts special events, namely wine tastings, which can be an excellent opportunity to try some new wines and have them properly introduced.
