The Scene
Arena has spared no expense to bring back the party to the center of Odessa, with a custom-made DJ booth and
superior sound system. The club / restaurant features a fine European menu and can be adapted for parties up
to 400 people, or up to 100 people for a sit-down dinner. The space features a large outdoor patio which is
a great place to people watch while sipping on a glass of wine or enjoying a meal. Inside two levels await
the eager patrons, filled with Plasma TVs which seem to focus on sports and fashion. Everyone knows those
two go hand in hand. The downstairs area also features a tasteful strip club in the unlikely case you and
your date get bored. No date? No problem, as Arena boasts one of the highest female to male ratios of any
central Odessa night venue.

The Scene
While the name of this ship décor configured club can be taken to mean something ambiguous in English – by
no means does it impact the club’s ability to bring in good crowds for its atmosphere and great sea food,
some of which is straight from Odessa's coastal black sea. Assol is situated at the end of the Arcadia
strip, slightly north of Ibiza (which is very hard to miss). Even if you choose not go inside, it is worth
checking out this impressive exterior from outside. The staff here appropriately dresses the part, usually
that of a pirate or a sailor. Music here is slightly more festive than the rest of the clubs in Arkadia,
typically playing Russian and Euro Pop exclusively. Assol packs many tourists but because of its exquisite
sea food it is also a favorite among locals. This is an ideal place to have a late dinner and subsequently
work off the calories on the dance floor. Make sure to come here on a weekend as it is usually fairly empty
on weeknights.

Imagine yourself at a club where Miami meets Odessa circa 1995. Grab a drink or two, unbutton your shirt and
pretend you are in the tropics. The main attraction here is the sizzling Latin music which includes Salsa,
Bachata, Meringue, Reggaeton and Cumbia. Breath the air filled with Cubin cigar smoke and take in a live
band (check the schedule) but in any case, come prepared to have fun. The space itself is simple, yet
reflects the Latin flavors. Simple couches and chairs with plenty of space available even on nights that are
packed. You can even try arranging for a private lesson, that is if you can actually find a Salsa teacher,
which should be available on the dance floor at various times. Located in the center of the city, just one
block away from Yo, this can make for a nice evening of something out of the ordinary.

With inspiration from Nikki Beach Club in Miami comes Odessas version, which of course is bigger, better and
sexier. Well, perhaps not quiet but it is a great try and change of scenery from Arkadia nightclubs. Located
at the Riviera Beach in Odessa (13th Fontana) this club is half inside half outside and features numerous
themed parties along with great weeknight evenings to just chill out with your friends. With decor
consisting of natural wood and white fabric, alongside water, Bounty nightclub offers plenty for everyone.
One can order light food, or go for the strong drinks, which the bartenders are eager to prepare. The party
gets going late, so be prepared for the place to be fairly empty even at midnight. The club is open only
during the summer season, it often features various themed parties such as The White Party when everyone
MUST wear white to get inside and other similar events. There are also various well-known local DJs, which
perform at the club on weekly basis. Bounty also employs a Saxophone and Drums players who will gladly come
out late at night to show off their stuff outside along the beach. Bounty also features a number of in-house
dancers, who seemingly dance all night without taking a single break.
The music is typically House or other variations of electronic music such as light techno and similar.
However, some nights you may hear some Russian pop but it is rare. The clientele is mixed, made u p mostly
of students, some young professionals and a little bit of everything else. Bounty is a popular place for
post Arkadia crowd who have had enough of Ibiza an are looking for a less crowded bar. In any case, the dcor
is wonderful, the hammocks along can relieve considerable stress. The service leaves a bit to be desired,
but overall better than average for Ukraine.

Once you bypass the door staff, and entryway constructed literally of cinderblocks, pat yourself on the back
for being cool enough to do so, and join the crowd of Odessa A-listers, well-connected, gorgeous
party-goers. Step in line, and parade around the perimeter of an impossibly crowded room (weekends only).
Even though you won't find a conventional dance floor at this Odessa nightspot, the DJs mix up a spastic
concoction of hip-hop, interspersed with samples of House Beats to Michael Jackson. Reserve a table and come
early, because by the time midnight rolls around, you won’t be able to appreciate the post-modern originally
inspired space, let alone find a spot to artistically arrange your Armani-clad booty.

The Scene
This massive nightclub can be seen on the left side of the approach to Arkadia. Cosmo or Kosmos as some
people would spell it, sits in a large round building on top of a hill at Arkadia's footsteps. This venue
boasts to have more space for dancing than any other Odessa nightclub - a difficult feat! Capacity of Cosmo
is excess of 1000 people, numbers which are not unusual to see here. Two bars, VIP bars, two floors and VIP
section of the dance floor allow for large numbers of patrons to move inside the clue comfortably. This is
not the case on nights when headline DJs put on performances. Cosmo is also home to Odessa's most advanced
sound and light system. Be prepared to feel the base while waiting in line to get indoors. Cosmo has been
functioning under one name or another for the past ten years, and is a consistent hit with Odessa's
electronic music enthusiasts. Crowds tend to be on the younger side, but this largely depends on the
performing DJ of the night which range from House, Techno, R&B and Drum & Base.
Cosmo's cover is about 15 hr ($3) and a beer is 10 hr ($2). The second floor is the best attraction with an
awesome view of the dance floor and high density of gorgeous girls. There is a small bar in the corner but
don't expect your bartender to speak English, know what you want and point to it. The girl-guy ratio is
fairly un-even and attractive even by Odessa's standards. However, a night at Cosmo wouldn’t be complete
without some fall down drunken / drugged chick being carried down the stairs.

The Scene
Welcome to Odessa’s best summer nightlife experience and quiet possibly the best club in the world. Bold
statement acknowledged, but once you party at Odessa’s Ukrainian Ibiza you will also see it rivals many
clubs, even the ones located on the famous Island of which the name of this Odessa nightclub borrowed.
Shaped like an ant hill and entirely outdoors on the beach, this Odessa nightclub boasts numerous bars,
seating for over 100, massive stage, multiple TVs and one jam packed dance floor. Ibiza is located directly
in the middle of Odessa’s Arkadia strip, entirely outdoors and about 100 meters away from the Black Sea. The
interiors, while as mentioned is shaped like a massive ant hill, has a very clean look to it, as the walls
of the structure are all painted in white. Odessa’s Ibiza is home to some of Europe’s well known DJs, who
frequently come to Odessa and make their rounds through this wonderful club. Although one does not need to
be famous to feel famous at Odessa’s Ibiza. All one simply has to do is turn on Odessa’s channel 29 (on
Odessa’s cable system) and watch live and repeated broadcasts straight from Ibiza. There are multiple camera
operators hidden in the club, so think twice before having that next mojiuto here! While privacy may
questionably be at stake, fun is not. Hundreds of patrons visit Ibiza nightly, most to do nothing but relax,
listen to music and dance as it provides probably the most perfect setting to do so while in Odessa. Unlike
neighboring Itaka, this club plays exclusively house and techno. Drinks are served with enthusiasm and are
surprisingly cheap on a comparison basis. Ibiza’s crowd reflects that of Odessa’s general population. It is
a big mix of tourists, locals, electronic music enthusiasts and some of the most beautiful club dancers
Odessa and probably rest of Ukraine has to offer. On any given weekend Ibiza will have a dozen or so dancers
around the club, hyping up the music and dancing relentlessly. It is a sight not to miss. Many Pop shows
take place also in Ibiza; make sure to check their schedule for upcoming acts. Also, make sure to make a
reservation for a table in advance and in person, as they are not taken over the phone at this Odessa
nightclub.

This is our favorite club in Odessa Ukraine and will be yours as well after just
one visit. We have numerous Arkadia apartments located only minutes away from this amazing nightclub.
The Scene
Along with Ibiza, this is the best nightlife experience Odessa and the rest of Ukraine can offer during its
raging summer. Designed in the style of Greek ruins, this massive Odessa nightclub boasts an enormous dance
floor, spectacular stage, massive pillars overlooking Black Sea, seating for over 200 people, one long bar
and hundreds of mesmerized dancing patrons. Each night is kicked off with a bang through a spectacular show
(usually at midnight) which is a must see for anyone in Odessa. Different nightly show is there to keep you
coming back. Expect to see anything from a sensual strip tease to a multi troop acrobatic performance.
Odessa's Itaka has various options for sitting, with prime seats being leveled next to the stage and the
rest either on the 2nd floor or along side of the bar by the dance floor. It is suggested to make
reservations for prime sitting space. Every week or so during the summer, Itaka is home to performances by
Russian and Ukrainian superstars making their visit through Odessa. Check Itaka's website to see the
schedule. Service at Itaka is marginal, yet there is considerable room for improvement as the waiters cater
to dozens of tables at a time. Menus here can give most restaurants a run for its money. At Itaka you can
order anything from full entrees to hookahs filled with milk here. Itaka's crowd is diverse as Odessa’s
population; Western tourists, Russian tourists, drop dead gorgeous girls in mini skirts, little kids and
their parents and a massive number of staff workers wearing nothing but traditional togas. It is hard to
think of a place where one can make friends as easily as at Odessa's Itaka, especially with the help of some
exotic alcoholic beverages that the bubbly bartenders are happy to serve. The only con, if it can be called
that, is the music. Itaka plays almost exclusively pop, with same songs repeating numerously every night.

Viva la revolution in this cool lounge/club/restaurant that feels like it was yanked out of downtown Havana
and dropped in the middle of Odessa. Fidel functions like a popular restaurant during the day but turns into

Once a hot and happening place, this massive Odesa nightclub still receives respect on the nightlife
circuit, however, it does not draw the crowd nor the vibe of such counterparts as Ibiza or Itaka. Designed
like a Mexican pyramid ruin of massive scale this Odessa nightclub boasts two dance floors. Pago sits on a
small hill, well camouflaged from Odessa's onlookers by massive trees. Not to worry, you will not miss its
entrance as it is marked by a huge Aztec-uesque statute. Both of Pago's dance floors are outdoors, with each
playing different genres of music at any point of the night. This may be the only advantage Pago has over
the other clubs in Odessa's Arkadia. Usually, while one DJ spins your usual dose of Pop or Euro house, the
other will play slow oldies– perfect for end of the night seduction while slow dancing. Seldom that this
Odessa nightclub is packed, therefore if you are looking for space this may be your spot on Arkadia's strip.
Few tourists are found here while some locals swear by Pago’s charm.

great place to explore if you want to a break from the Arkadia scene during the summer. Sure it's the beach,
but dress to impress when coming for a night out, or you might not get in. While the club has limited hours

theme is American, don’t expect to see any cowboys here, or anything else for that matter that resembles
America. What you will see is hundreds of patrons, dancing enthusiastically to loud sound waves of Euro Pop.
It is located at the far end of the Arcadia stip. Its entrance marked by two beautiful dancers shaking it
for a mob of Odessa spectators every night starting around midnight. Western club is popular with the
younger local population. Average age of guest at Odessa 's Western Club is somewhere around 20, even lower
for female guests. Given the young age of most patrons, behavior here is often more uninhibited than other
clubs. This of course can be a good thing and adds to the overall appeal of Western Club. Service leaves a
lot to be desired but the massive round dance floor and its stage offset that con.

Yo is a massive, ‘off’ season club in Odessa (seasons other than summer) that still ranks among the best
despite its long existence. The interiors of this Odessa nightclub look polished and ultra modern. Get here
early if you want to bowl or play billiards, and remember; the influence of alcohol can significantly impair
your playing abilities! Note that Wednesdays are jazz nights, with excellent live performances. Also
available for your enjoyment is a sushi bar and a strip club - I apologize for using those two in the same
sentence. If gambling is your vice, give luck a try at the slots or table games available for your
entertainment in Odessa. Expect to see a colorful bunch of people in this Odessa nightclub. Girls are always
aplenty, as well as a large number of tourists hoping to attract their attention. While you dance, the DJ
will spin Euro house but other genres are available upon request along with a 20hr note.

Zolotoi Duke (Golden Duke)
The Scene
Zolotoi Duke (Golden Duke) is located in the very center of Odessa, along the side of one of its most prized
possessions - The Potemkin steps and statue of Duke Richelieu. The space features large area for billiards,
one of many in Odessa, as well as a modest sized dance floor. The billiards area features four Russian
regulation size tables and one American. For those who do not know, Russian billiards uses a larger table
with smaller side pockets, effectively making Billiards a much more difficult game then in the West.
Also, the Duke features two stages on which live bands perform almost nightly. Check the schedule to see the
genre of the bands that perform, which range from Rock 'N Roll to Blues. Surprisingly, some amazing talent
can be found here. Entrance is free, except for the performance nights when it is $2.
