Hot new Higgins-approved hangout features menu that tells you "you can not only get to know our girls, but even make friends with them". Heh-heh. Guess what that means? We saw the livestock, and they looked pretty okay to us. Strippers weekend nights at midnite, live muzak of the Bono variety at times. Cheap food and cheap beer.

Boar House, Doug + Marty's Updated!



Cheers:

eXile alert! Wednesday night expat after-work parties boasts free beer from 7-9PM as well as tons of dyevs looking to score with a foreigner. One of the few reliable weekday snake pits. Top eXile editor option for 4am bargain boaring. Now open 24 hours with user friendly 50% discounts until 9pm. Bathroom quickies not unheard of.

Jeers:

The better-looking boars are now asking for a Ben Franklin. Someone's gotta teach `em a lesson. We know it's close to Christm, as and all, but isn't the new decor just a little bit overboard? As Stuart Pratt once said, this place can be intimidating for sexless, progressive Canadian couples.

Cabana



Cheers:

Recent Saturday night checkup on Cabana revealed that the place is boppin-packed with "solidny" clients. Friday Ladies' Nights are packed with dyevs during the strip show. Come here with your reel and net and go fishin'! Strippers and whores like going here on their "night off". Deliciously colorful layout with two bars whipping up tropical cocktails, live music, and a separate super-delish restaurant. Has couches, TV monitors to watch bands. Eclectic crowd includes students, Africans, solidny types and decent babe factor. No cover.

Jeers:

Chicks can be business class-and $$$. Plastic palm leaves sometimes get in your face; main bar impossible to get to. Should charge a cover, but they don't. Empty on weekdays.

Churchill's



Cheers:

Quality new neighborhood pub done in the loveable British style and brought to you by veteran Brit-pub-pusher Chris, he of the original John Bull na Kutuzovsky fame. Includes top-notch Sunday evening unplugged concerts (Boris Grebenschikov kicked off the season here). Popular with after-work expats and re-emerging middle class Russians (ReEMRs). Wide selection of beers, restaurant features Brit and evropesky food, not prohibitively expensive either.

Jeers:

Closes too early for serious alcoholics. What is this, London or something? Chris seems to like Russian pop muzak. You may hear people parrot Churchill's famous "enigma wrapped in a riddle" line - throw your beer in their face if they do.

(Half Door Irish Pub)


Updated!



Cheers:

They just opened up a third-floor dance hall with the occasional strip tease. Has a pole. Could be a good alternative to the PJ's/XIII axis down the street. Cellar Irish pub with comfy woodsy furnishings. Extensive single-malt scotch menu at reasonable prices. 24-hours including $1 hangover menu from 5-7a.m.

Jeers:

If the ofitsanka recommends you to avoid the bar because Russians are belting out karaoke, listen to her. Has yet to attract reasonable amount of slutty dyevs.

The Embassy Club

Updated!



Cheers:

Moscow's premiere cigar bar/lounge has proved the post-Crisis naysayers wrong, packing in a loyal crowd as Smart as it is Pretentious (caps intentional). This place seems to be forever improving and refining its booze list, now has more wine & whiskey than ever. Gorgeous interior and comfy chairs and sofas that you'll never want to part with. Great selection of single-malt scotches. Walk-in humidor should impress upwardly aspiring dyevs, and the Cuban bartenders are said to make some wicked cocktails. Appropriately impressive toilets. Live jazz that doesn't suck. Low-key Thursday evening Ladies Night (25% off) said to be bringing in the babes - or at least whatever qualifies as babes among the Westernized yuppie set.

Jeers:

Change in management has resulted in the loss of their Modesto and Serbian representatives. We'll just have to wait and see how Embassy weathers this crisis. Probably not for our less well-heeled readers. Do you really like cigars? How about people who smoke them?

Cheers:

Well-designed pub/sports bar with numerous TVs showing Beavis & Butt-head. Staryi Melnik and Baltika on tap and home-cooked Russian bar faves like mushroom julienne and borsht at prices inconsequential enough to soothe the cheapest of eXholes. Rumored to be having an all-U-can-eat/drink Super Bowl party for a mere 100-ruble entry fee.

Jeers:

The rope handrails seem to indicate some kind of aborted nautical theme. Not exactly babe central. Those TVs can be distracting... especially if your friends are boring.

Garage




Cheers:

Is THE in-place for after-hours partying, packing in the Galereya/Club XIII crowd after 4am, often until well into the morning daylight hours. Also a great place to start the evening for pre-all-nighters, or for after work unwinding with tsivilizyoniye lyudi. Hip New York-style bar: you enter through the thick steel door with the massive steel monkey wrench on it, down into a vaguely garage-themed basement bar. Good bar food; popular breakfasts. Once saw a drunken chick take off her clothes. Off-duty Night Flight ho's like to take a load off here.

Jeers:

May still be the "IN" place for after hours, but boy is that "in" crowd getting worn in. Strict doormen have on more than one occasion falsely (so he claims) accused Krazy Kevin of drunkenness; can get tight when crowded; bourgeois. Wildly unpredictable "face control" sometimes leaves you shaking your head in confusion once you get inside and see the other dorks who got in.

Hungry Duck (Fiesta)




Cheers:

As always, the best place to have a chick pass you her phone number while deep throating some guy. And home to the patented Duck Look, whose hypnotic powers allow sweaty expired men with unbottoned shirts to take home over the hill Lolitas and shag their brains out.

Jeers:

The strip show was almost exclusively waxed men - few chicks were pulled out of the crowd, none were disrobed and there was nothing even resembling a wendeling on stage. The music didn't inspire any humping on the floor, but even without motion the temperature was high enough to spawn a new anti-cologne. Most of the shoving and pushing was not girls trying to grab you, but men running to the toilet to expel an alien from their inards. Old bearded men think that they can talk to you just because you share a common language.

Kitaisky Lyotchik




Cheers:

Lyotchik has expanded, adding a cozy disco with English-style wallpaper, and an extra back chill-out equipped with great red ass-pillows. Just ratcheting up the mojosity step by step. One of the few authentic bohemian tusovki, brought to you by famous godmother of the Moscow tusovka Irena Papernaya. Imagine Krisis Zhanra, only better: it's open all the time, serves quality cheap food, and shows quality live music. Located in the basement of a pre-Revolutionary building right near the Kitai Gorod metro station. Try the soups and potato dishes. Young waitresses.

Jeers:

Slight culture clash with the disco, but hey, who's complaining? Charge entrance on weekdays if bands play. Promised that they'd have international cuisine, including Breton crepes, but that still hasn't happened. Students who look too studenty.

Come here and mellow-out to some cool, live tunes with the rest of Moscow's Boho-intelli crowd. Good place to sit and act alienated, waiting to be discovered by someone.

The Last Drop




Cheers:

Our own Matt Taibbi visited here recently, and had much to say about it. New menu has made them popular for biz lunch deals; also includes a well-prepared saucy Italian dish with beef and mushrooms and some oddly named Japanese noodle things we've never heard of. Unpretentious cellar pub located just a hop, skip and jump from Garage, without the humiliating door hassles. Come here to relax, sample their fine selection of draft beer (including the rare cherry and raspberry-flavored Bellevue, from Germany - we think), or just chew the fat after work.

Jeers:

Fish assortment thing comes up way short in the flavor category, although the fish itself was decent. Our former office slave Dima complains of slow service during a recent visit - some dishes taking as long as 30 minutes, when the waitress promised them in 10 minutes. Not a place to go if you're looking for some mischief.

Lots of ratty knit sweaters, lots of horn-rimmed glasses, and yes, t-shirts that mean something. Cheap drinks and food, no techno dicks.

Papa John's

Updated!



Cheers:

You have brought much mirth, and a few communicable parasites, into the lives of budding and seasoned alcoholics alike. You go, Papa! Jay from Voodoo and Duck fame is now running the show, and he's got plans. Has taken over some of the Duck's frat-mad-house mojo. Thursday night expat after-work parties boast free beer and champagne frlom 7-9PM. Be prepared to wait in line on weekends, but it's a wait well worth it. Packed to the gilt with a decent selection of goods, even into the wee hours of the morning. Booths for respectable or crippled people. Dyevs get easily suckered into doing things they'll regret the next morning; boyfriends try their best to pretend they're not getting angry. Good Latino and funk DJs, party atmosphere.

Jeers:

Now charges 150R cover on weekends! Expensive drinks. Too many submerging middle class Russkys and bloated lecherous expats. Brick paneling looks fake, even if it's real. Scary Expat List nerds come in droves, even when the sluts don't.

Millenium Club needs to work on packing in the young snapper, or any snapper for that matter. Any club that empties out by 2 is cryin' for Starvin' Ivan. And, Planet Hollywood will always just be Bruce Willis' attempt to run a family restaurant. That thirteen-year-old could be your cousin.

Propaganda




Cheers:

eXile alert! Bis be boomin now on weekends, and sluts are not completely out of the question here. Not that it's a big secret, but Thursdays at Propaganda are the biggest, heppest thing going in Moscow today (and they've made a good comeback after a brief downturn). Crowds backed into the streets, packed with young, beautiful, trendy not-so-dorkadents. Is the standard by which all Moscow non-flathead discos measure themselves. Truly relaxed, non-techno, college-type all night dance joint. The DJs seem to have gotten out of their rut thanks to a healthy dose of acid jazz and perhaps even - gasp! - a mild sense of humor. Boasts the best layout in town, including two balconies for scoping out the attractive young crowd.

Jeers:

The no in-out policy can be a real slap in the face - literally! eXile intern and friend were practically beaten up by the ohrana and then taken away by the police after merely trying to reobtain the backpack they had left inside the club a half hour earlier. High John Malkovich factor. The Thursday line at peak times is too depressing to make up for any amount of sociological-study eavesdropping you might do. Too many expatellas in ironic-smart horned-rimmed glasses.

Continues to reject the citywide trend of giving up on mojo. Seperate rooms equally full of cute chicks, who are all equally eager to get with you.

Sport Land




Cheers:

eXile alert! With its policy of showing at least 3 NFL games live weekly, has become a must-stop venue for the eXile editorial staff, particularly those seeking to replace their opiate addictions with a gambling monkey. So far we're ahead for the season, but last week was a big loss all around. The Yankee Hot Dog (although it no longer appears on the menu) is a big favorite with our own Moe Snideman. Also, the only place in town to watch a Tyson fight. All is thanks to the ubiquitous Frank, who understands the biological male need for sports downstairs, and whores upstairs. Huge screen TV showing top sports events. Virtual golf featuring golf pros who don't have a clue what they're doing is always good for a laugh, as the light above the course gets broken at least once per weekend. Good prices, and home-brewed non-filtered beer make it worthwhile to stay for that second game.

Jeers:

Blue-blazered thug will follow you to the bathroom during football games thinking you're about to abscond on your 5 dollar check...Waitresses are always confused about how to charge a party of more than one. Perverts in security get hard inspecting chicks' tampons for tools useful in robbing Metelitsa Casino. Inept mud people always seem to be playing pool while you're trying to watch football.

Taxman




Cheers:

With its unpretentious prole clientele, impossible-to-reach bar, skanky teenagers, vulgar strip-tease act and beer-sweat, this is as close to the spirit of the old Hungry Duck as you'll get today. Free strip acts take it all off - every night is a guaranteed stripe-sighting. Fridays sometimes feature amateur striptease, where drunken dyevs get on stage and show their stuff. Few expats, although more are coming, but lots of teenage girls and semi-Neanderthal young men. Very crowded.

Jeers:

We saw a biker from the Night Wolves do the "robot" dance on the platform during Herbie Hancock's "Rockit". We also saw a flathead pummel an Armenian in a tie.

Even now, at the lowest point of the summer down season, remains jam-packed with sluts and happenin' weekend nights.
