Large club, two stories with a mix of local and international tunes. There are usually a few expats around, and there is a decent chance of finding the odd English speaking local here.

Ice Glass Bar

Fresh beer from the local brewery.
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is a rather youthful town, so the nightlife is rather happening considering its size. If the weather is nice, an alternative to the bars listed here is hanging out with the locals in the beer tents dotted around Gagarin Park. Don't miss the local beer!
