Review from odessaapts.com:

"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. .

Verdict

This new Odessa lounge / club / restaurant fills a void with its high tech interiors and colorful clientèle. Two thumbs up."

Review from odessaapts.com:

Depending on your tolerance for Odessa's newly rich, slick intellectuals, geezed up mini moguls and husband-hunting lil' young things, you will either flock to eccentric Exit lounge or run screaming. Defiantly euro, with a heavy artsy flavor, Art Club Exit is unique and in its own category in Odessa's vast nightlife. Opened in the winter of 2006, this central Odessa lounge features five room space with multiple bars can host parties or allow for a group to have a great time without any hassles.

Various rooms, allow for mini art exhibitions, live music performances, film screenings and poetry reading. The lounge also serves as a restaurants, serving a menu of sandwiches, pizzas and various appetizers. Drinks and food are surprisingly good, and there is a wide array of beers on the tab menu. Music, depending on the night ranges from Techno, Hip Hop, House and International Pop. Live performances are typically those of Jazz and Rock. Check Exit's schedule to see their line up as different evenings feature literature nights, concerts, exhibitions and various other events. Maximum capacity is 200, helping in keeping an overall intimate vibe.

Verdict

Any art enthusiast will have a wonderful time at this out of the ordinary Odessa lounge. Highly recommended.

Assol is designed to look like a large ship. It is open 24 hours. The restaurant takes Master Card and Visa. The menu is fish and European, and it is in English. Good food.

Review from odessaapts.com:

"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.

Verdict

Assol makes a nice break from typical nightlife experience with its appropriate theme, great music and superb food.

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 Cuban 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.

Verdict

Great drinks, fantastic music and simple decor make this a must visit for any lovers of Latin music.

Review from odessaapts.com:

With inspiration from ‘Nikki Beach Club in Miami’ comes Odessa’s 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 décor is wonderful, the hammocks along can relieve considerable stress. The service leaves a bit to be desired, but overall better than average for Ukraine.

Verdict

Bounty is a new club, with lots to offer. Its location is a bit further than Arkadia and if you get sick of the Ibiza / Itaka scene you can take a breather at this new happening club.

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.

Verdict

Convenient downtown location, great food and music make this a perfect spot for any evening in Odessa both in summer and winter time.

Generally for students, ages 15-19 years old. This is supposed to be the best club to be able to get a joint. Cosmos has the same owner as Atlantis. Behind Cosmos is the hotel OK Odessa (ОК Одеса)

This massive nightclub can be seen on the left side of the approach to Arcadia. Cosmo or Kosmos as some people would spell it, sits in a large round building on top of a hill at Arcadia'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.

Verdict

If you like electronic music and serious dancing - this is the place in Odessa for you. Otherwise, very young crowd and lack of food make other nightlife options in Odessa a better selection

Review from odessaapts.com:

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.

Verdict

This is our favorite club in Odessa Ukraine and will be yours as well after just one visit.

Itaka is open 24 hours. Itaka has a Greek design., with a concert arena. Every weekend the Discothèques has a Russian pop star concert, with light show and special effects. The restaurant is open from 11 am - 9 pm, has a variety of food, no credit cards accepted, and an English menu.

Review from odessaapts.com:

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.

Verdict

Never mind the music, if you are in Odessa do yourself a favor and come to Itaka. Chances are - you won’t leave before the sunrise.

In the summer, the club is free. During the day the club is available for business meetings. This club has a European kitchen, and they accept Visa and Master Card.

Review from odessaapts.com:

Located in the center of Odessa Ukraine, this club boasts impressive interiors, relaxed atmosphere and space for banquets. Enjoy a specialty cocktail in Odessa, while staring at a soccer game on this club’s numerous TV screens. Day hours can be reserved for lunch occasions. All in all, this place still draws good crowds, specifically in the winter months. Expect to hear mostly commercial Pop at this Odessa night club.

Verdict

If you are looking for a ‘loungy’ feel in a club, this may be your best bet in Odessa.

Review from odessaapts.com:

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.

Verdict

Along with Odessa's Amsterdam, this club is a must visit for anyone visiting Odessa outside of the summer season.

Review from Odessaapts.com:

One stage and relatively small seating area create a more personal experience at this Odessa strip bar. Erotic yet sensual, this nude Odessa bar caters to various clientele in desire to see Odessa's best looking girls. Drinks are relatively expensive and bottles may remind you of western prices. Yet if looking to unwind in a setting of private and sensual striptease may be the perfect option for both men and women at this establishment.

Verdict

Among few of Odessa's strip bars this may be the perfect option those with erotic desire.
