Will you "do it tonight"?


Will you walk out alive?


Will cheap-O eXile readers afford the beer?

Will you show up to an empty, haunted mausoleum?
= no you won't

= probably
= just don't bump into anyone
= run like hell
= $2-3 per beer
= $4-$5 per beer
= $6-$60,000
This isn't a rating factor, folks. Every club, bar, politican, and yes, newspaper, is on the verge of collapse. When you see this by a bar, it means, "financial crisis victim." Vsyo.

Chameleon

Cheers:eXile alert! In honor of our new "Gay Alternative" self-outing, we're rousing everyone to make that trip to Chameleon. You won't regret it! Finally, a gay club has arrived to replace Chance, which got tiring after a while. Beer garden said to be kicking but. Mixed crowd includes hardcore gay and mega-babes. Darkened labyrinths to allow for anonymous, hidden trysts, a sex shop, and in-yo-face snaking. Features restaurant, bar area, and a large dancefloor.
Jeers: eXile alert!Gay sources say this place is no longer gay, but rather flathead central. So far, may not be mixed enough for the progressive straights; gets packed solid with a line by 1am.
Cover:Thursday through Sunday, men: 35,000R, dames: 50,000R; Monday through Wednesday, men: free, dames: 25,000R

Central Station

Cheers:Happening new dual-floored gay disco/bar catering to the gay on the street, the gay next door. Not as tight-assed about letting in dyevs as Delphin was.
Jeers:More gay kitsch muzak.
M:Novokuznetskaya
Address:Bolshaya Tatarskaya 16/2, Stroyen. 2


Chance

Cheers: eXile alert! According to clubbing pariah Mahi Vijayshwari, Chance is back in action after getting shut down by club-wielding authorities. Some think it's the best club in Moscow, but we don't. Handsome mixed crowd who comes to dance and enjoy. Gay soft porn, striptease, and mermaid act.
Jeers:It's been over-discovered-including by OMON troops, who occasionally pop in to bash your head, take you into jail, and plant drugs on you. Very little hetero-macking. Not for homophobes.
