• Katy Stickland

Lord Alan Sugar is asking €14 million (£12.34 million) for his superyacht Lady A. The craft was put on the market last summer after undergoing a year-long refit. See inside this exclusive yacht

The Apprentice star Lord Alan Sugar put his luxury superyacht – Lady A – on the market last summer, after the stunning craft underwent a year-long refit.

On sale through the superyacht brokers Edmiston , the British business magnate and Apprentice star is asking €14 million, around £12.34 million, for the 181-foot vessel.

When the superyacht was first put on sale in the summer of 2017, it cost £12.65 million, but the weaker pound means that if snapped up now, the new owner would save £300,000.

The Jon Bannenberg designed Lady A has gone through an intensive year-long refit at Burgess Marine.

The work has included an extension to the aft end of the upper deck to increase the exterior seating and social spaces, a redesigned and refitted interior, new paintwork and the installation of zero speed stabilizers.

Lady A was first launched in 1986 and was built in Japan by Nishii Zosen-Sterling for the Australian tycoon, Alan Bond, who named the vessel Southern Cross.

Lord Alan Sugar bought the yacht two years ago and renamed it Lady A after his wife, Ann. The couple have been together for more than 45 years.

Lady A has many features which strong reflect Bannenberg’s signature design, including the impressive sundeck, with its use of glass and spectacular views.

The Lady A: inside Lord Sugar's superyacht, for sale for £12.2million

Alan Sugar's 181ft superyacht, with Jacuzzi, two dining areas and space for 12 people to sleep is for sale for £12.2 million.

But while it waits for a buyer, the superyacht was spotted cruising the Thames moored near Tower Bridge during the bank holiday heatwave, according to MailOnline .

Lord Sugar bought the luxury vessel in 2015 and renamed her Lady A, after his wife of 50 years, Ann.

The billionaire businessman then gave Lady A a total refit, which cost £11.8 million and took 10 months.

The party ship now features marble sculptures, glass walls to make the most of the views, walnut cabinetry and solid timber floors.

There are six luxury en suite cabins sleeping up to 12 people.

The Owner's cabin on the lower deck complete with a private study, own Jacuzzi, shower room and dressing room. There are three further guest cabins on the lower deck, all with double beds and an inside dining room where guests can dine in privacy.

On the main deck, sailors can enjoy a seating area with a lounge, large dining space and plenty of comfortable seating, with an additional covered seating area if the weather turns.

A VIP guest cabin and twin guest cabin make up the rest of the rooms on this floor.

The top deck features a spacious lounge area as well as a vast space for sunbathing, and further aft deck dining and lounge area. A second Jacuzzi, a bar and sun awnings offer further opportunities to relax.

The superyacht has been on sale since late last year and has already received a great deal of interest, according to Nicholas Edmiston, of Edmiston , who are brokering the sale.

“Her heritage and recent refit mean that she represents a fairly unique opportunity; a modern classic design that is ready to go,” he says.

“Lady A’s guest areas are perhaps her most notable feature, from the main salon with its curved window-line to the vast sun deck, flanked by Bannenberg’s architectural wings.”

The yacht was originally built in 1986 and designed by Jon Bannenburg, arguably the world’s premier yacht designer.

“A feature of Bannenberg’s design is the innovative use of glass, with radius, circular and full-height sections adding both stylistic elements and also great views,” says Edmiston.

Lady A was refitted in 2017 to include an extension to the aft end of the upper deck to increase the seating areas further as well as given a comprehensive refit indoors.

The asking price for the yacht is £12.2 million .

Lord Sugar Superyacht Visits London

Famous for his rudeness about the crew on an earlier superyacht he owned, Lord Sugar then Sir Alan Sugar vowed at the time he would never own a superyacht again.

Time moves on and now it seems that the self-made millionaire has had a change of heart.

He is now the owner of Lady A   a yacht built to the interior and exterior designs of Jon Bannenberg and she has recently been seen in London moored downstream of Tower Bridge

When he was the owner of his previous yacht he wrote:   It does not matter how much money you have.  Owning a yacht is the wrong thing to do . 

He went on to write: I have to say I never enjoyed my trips. All I got was a load of grief from the crew about this or that machine that did not work and how, if we had this new instrument, life would be so good and why all the air conditioning needs to be overhauled next year and, by the way, would you mind if the crew had a new Bang and Olufsen as they work so hard sitting on their arses week after week when you are not on board.

He quoted farewell speeches that his various captains used to give him giving this as an example

‘Well Sir Alan, sorry about the main owner’s cabin alarm going off every night without notice. I know we have been sitting around all winter doing sod all and the boat should be working perfectly but it’s just one of those things, you know. By the way, have you had time to think about the increase in crew pay and do you think we need another staff car, how about medical insurance for Flossy in the galley and do you have any idea where we are going in the winter. I would like to know so that I can book my holiday. I’ll dump the boat in the shipyard – you get ripped off for a million or two whilst I am out on the piss spending all the commission I have amassed over the year from the grateful vendors you have so gracefully spent a fortune with.’

I wonder what Lord Sugar thinks about his crew who serve aboard Lady A .

Lord Sugar puts his treasured 181ft superyacht complete with jacuzzi and room for 12 guests on sale for £12.6m

Businessman Alan Sugar shot to mainstream fame when he appeared in the Apprentice 

Alan Sugar is so proud of his wealth that he recently shared with his fans a photo of a cheque he had written to the taxman for a staggering £59 million.

However, I can reveal that Lord Sugar of Clapton has put his most treasured possession on the market amid great mystery.

He is selling his 181ft superyacht, named Lady A after his wife, Ann, with a price tag of £12.6 million.

The glitzy gin palace includes a Jacuzzi and sleeps up to 12 guests in en-suite luxury.

Alex Koersvelt, at Edmiston Luxury Yacht Brokers, confirms the sale, but declines to discuss Lord Sugar’s reasons for putting it on the market.

No doubt he fears The Apprentice star telling him: ‘You’re fired!’ Sugar, who could not be reached for comment yesterday, was spotted in June aboard Lady A in Puerto Banus, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, shortly after he had spoken publicly about his tax bill.

Posting a picture of his £58,646,028.44 cheque to the taxman, he wrote: ‘To those who have responded to my advice not to vote for [Jeremy] Corbyn saying I want to avoid paying tax.’

According to the Sunday Times Rich List, the 70-year-old tycoon, who is based in Chigwell, Essex, has a fortune of £1.25 billion.

Alan Sugar is selling his 181ft superyacht, named Lady A after his wife, Ann, with a price tag of £12.6 million

Sugar bought the yacht in 2015 for an undisclosed sum and renamed her Lady A, even though his wife, Ann, should correctly be referred to only as Lady Sugar or Lady S.

The couple have been married since 1968 and have two sons and a daughter.

The yacht has marble sculptures on the top deck, one twin guest and four double cabins, plus a state room that seats 12.

It was built in 1986 and named Southern Cross by its first owner, Australian tycoon Alan Bond, who sold her when he went bankrupt.

Perhaps Sugar plans to follow the example of Donald Trump, who presented the U.S. version of The Apprentice, and stand for election? The yacht could go down badly with hard-pressed voters.

Now over-sexed Spencer swaps ring with lover 

Is Pippia Middleton’s brother-in-law, Spencer Matthews, who has boasted of sleeping with more than 1,000 women, including his best pal’s girlfriend, finally settling down?

The former Made In Chelsea star, who turned 28 yesterday, has been going out with Irish model Vogue Williams for five months (an eternity for him) and the couple have now exchanged rings.

This weekend, the Old Etonian took Vogue, 31, on a romantic trip to Amsterdam, above left, where they showed off gold bands engraved with their initials, ‘S’ and ‘V’, right.

‘Yes we are that couple!’ gushed Vogue, who thanked the jeweller who had created the rings.

Not only does roly-poly retailer Sir Philip Green have the worry of his daughter Chloe courting ‘hot felon’ Jeremy Meeks, but now his most persistent critic has been commissioned to write a book exposing his colourful past.

I hear Penguin is to pay journalist Oliver Shah, whom Green called ‘a disgusting individual’, a whopping £100,000 for the biography.

How Jurgen Klinsmann was lured to Tottenham on Lord Sugar’s yacht and why Spurs legend drove a Volkswagen Beetle

• By Sean O'Brien
• Published : 11:54, 28 May 2020

Lord Sugar got plenty of things wrong during his time as Tottenham chairman - but inviting Jurgen Klinsmann onto his yacht in Monte Carlo was a masterstroke.

The German instantly became a Spurs legend upon signing for the club from Monaco in 1994, thanks to his goalscoring prowess and likeable personality.

This is despite his arrival being greeted with widespread disdain, mainly because of his role in England's 1990 World Cup elimination, and also a reputation for 'diving'.

Klinsmann immediately won fans over with his iconic 'dive' celebration after scoring on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday - and 29 goals during the 1994/95 campaign earned him the Football Writers' Player of the Year award.

Speaking to talkSPORT 2's Sportsday , the former Spurs striker revealed his brief stint in north London came about after Lord Sugar turned up unannounced in a yacht outside his home.

"Alan Sugar, our chairman at the time, anchored in Monte Carlo and I got a phone call from him," Klinsmann recalled.

"He asked for a chat and I said, 'Yeah, where are you?' He responded, 'Down in the harbour.'

"I walk down, literally 200 yards, to his yacht, and in two hours we had the deal done.

"Ossie Ardiles played a huge role, too. He was the manager at the time and to play for a personality like him was very special.

"The way the people welcomed me and the way things excelled on the pitch was amazing.

"I just felt so at home at Tottenham, with the people and with everything.

"That's why I'm always back in London as often as we can."

While Klinsmann says he felt 'at home', he certainly wasn't comfortable on the roads.

The German famously drove a Volkswagen Beetle around the streets of north London, as opposed to the kind of car you might expect a high-profile footballer to drive.

And Klinsmann reveals he was so frightened of driving on the 'wrong' side of the road, he opted for a car he didn't mind crashing.

He added: "I had to drive on the left side and that was a little bit problematic at the beginning!

"If I'm already going on the wrong side, then I'd better crash a Volkswagen Beetle.

"The Beetle fell apart later on, but it was a wonderful time."

Inside Lord Sugar’s very lavish life away from The Apprentice – £8.5m mansion, luxury watches and fleet of supercars

• Emma Pietras
• Published : 15:27, 6 Jan 2023
• Updated : 15:34, 6 Jan 2023

FANS of The Apprentice were treated to its most lavish launch show yet - after lucky contestants jetted off to Antigua.

The hotly anticipated new series of the long-running show saw the hopefuls tasked with creating and selling day trips to tourists on the tropical island in a bid to win a life-changing investment of £250,000 from Lord Alan Sugar.

The contestants couldn’t believe their luck when Lord Sugar unveiled where they were heading.

And it prompted former The Apprentice winner Ricky Martin to write on Twitter: “Imagine being told you were going to go to Antigua on the first task of #TheApprentice - Bloody hell I only went to Edinburgh.”

Apprentice boss Lord Sugar, 75, is no stranger to a spot of luxury himself. Having grown up in a council flat in the East End, the entrepreneur is now said to have a net worth of £1.21bn, making him the 138th richest person in the UK.

Here, we reveal his lavish life away from The Apprentice…

Lord Sugar has stayed close to his East End roots, buying a mansion in a leafy part of Essex .

He bought the historic five-bed home, set in three acres of parkland, and with a garage big enough for six cars for £800,000, in 1981.

According to Land Registry documents, daughter Louise, 46, took over ownership of it for £8.5million in 2021 - without any mortgage.

She is set to undertake a major revamp that will see the mansion, which dates back to 1908, increase in size by a third and includes building a spa, yoga studio and dog room for the family pet.

Lord Sugar, who is known for his philanthropy and donates his Apprentice fee to Great Ormond Street Hospital, used to own a £8.4million waterside six-bedroom mansion in Boca Raton, Florida, with the area said to have the highest average household income in the state and the third highest in the whole United States.

But in 2020, he said he “no longer has a house in Florida” following a Twitter spat with Piers Morgan who took issue when Lord Sugar defended Brits who went out to parks to sunbathe during lockdown.

Piers tweeted: “Billionaire hiding safely in his luxury Florida home demands the right for British people to all go out sunbathing…"

But the Apprentice star hit back, writing: "Just so you know I don't have a house any more in Florida that's rubbish info @piersmorgan has spread to wind people up against me.

"I have a flat with a balcony.Pool area closed, no tennis,no golf, no boats all by law.1 hour exercise."

The following month, he took to Twitter in a bid to flog a new luxury Florida mansion, owned by one of his companies, for £10.5 million.

With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the waterfront property is located in one of the most sought after - and expensive - neighbourhoods in Palm Beach. It boasts a huge swimming pool with its own bar and not one, but two baths in the master bedroom. But it’s not clear if any of his 5.2million followers had that sort of cash to spare.

Lord Sugar also used to own a six-bedroom villa on the Costa del Sol but is said to have sold it for £9.7millon in 2015 - making a tidy profit after having bought it for around £3.5million.

The huge three-storey, mustard coloured villa was set on a private road close to a beach near Marbella, Spain, a popular holiday destination among the super rich.

Private jets

When you’re a jet-setting businessman like Lord Sugar, flying economy on easyJet just won’t cut it.

The billionaire has bought a number of private jets over the years. In 2010, he purchased a £18.5m Embraer Legacy 650 private jet - which had G-SUGA emblazoned across it - posting dozens of pictures of it on social media.

Lord Sugar, who has had a pilot's licence since 1975, admitted he prefers flying privately for his “300 hours or so of business flying I do every year” because he hates the stress of modern travel.

He said in a 2010 interview: “It is my little luxury. Standing around at airports, checking in and all that stuff, gets on my nerves.”

It’s believed that he changed it for another jet - with a personalised reg of G-SUGA - costing around £36million in 2014 and last year was seen landing it himself at Teesside Airport.

In 2020, the business tycoon showed off his new £600,000 plane he bought in the US. The Cirrus SR22T aircraft can carry five people, including the pilot, and has been fitted with a turbocharger to increase performance.

He told his followers he was looking for a professional ferry pilot to bring the aircraft to the UK.

Lord Sugar's 181ft superyacht Lady A - named after his wife Ann Simons, 73 - was put on the market for a whopping £12.2million in 2018.

Lord Sugar snapped up the superyacht , which boasts six cabins, a Jacuzzi and has marble sculptures on the top deck, in 2015. It also features a state room capable of seating 12 people.

Car collection

The tycoon has a fleet of luxury cars and is known to be a long-time fan of British brand Rolls-Royce.

He is most famous for the Phantom 8 and has owned a number of these over the years, always using the number plate AMS 1.

The Phantom costs around £350,000 but customers often spec them to within £1million with custom finishes.

He bought a Bentley S1 Continental Sport Saloon, which was first owned by Sir Elton John. Lord Sugar had the car for 25 years but later admitted he overpaid for the silver Bentley, claiming he had been "done up like a kipper" by the singer.

It was sold at auction for a cool £366,000 in 2017 and he appears to have swapped it for a vivid red model after writing on Twitter: “Here is the new Bentley just unveiled today.”

Also that year, he bought a white Chevrolet ZO6 Corvette, which is said to cost more than £700,000 new. He appears to have upgraded it for a purple supercar Chevrolet Corvette C8.

Speaking about his latest toy in 2020, he tweeted: “Here is my new car coming December.”

His other cars are said to include a Range Rover and a bullet-proof luxury Mercedes.

Luxury watches

In 2018, eagle eyed Apprentice fans clocked that the billionaire wore seven different Rolexes in nine episodes, including one with a price tag of up £90,000.

The seven timepieces worn throughout the series were estimated to have cost Lord Sugar around £230,000.

Inside Lord Sugar's $13million impressive Florida mansion and it's now for sale

Lord Sugar has taken to social media to try to sweep up a tidy sum for the stateside pad that boasts six bedrooms and stunning views

• 22:34, 8 May 2020
• Updated 23:01, 8 May 2020

Lord Sugar has appealed to his 5.3 million Twitter followers to help him flog an impressive pad across the pond - as coronavirus threatens to spark a serious recession.

The Apprentice star, 73, took to Twitter to announce that the property, built by one of his companies, was up for grabs - for a cool $13 million (£10.5 million).

With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, he describes the location as "the best prestigious spot" in Boca Raton, an area of Florida that boasts some serious wealth.

It's right at the heart of the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club - a premier and highly exclusive community.

Sharing some snaps of the crib, his followers got a look at it from the outside, including its impressive pool complete with sun loungers, as well as a very modern black and white colour scheme to the exterior.

Large bay windows to let in the Florida sunshine open out onto the balcony, and down by the pool there's even a bar where you can sip cocktails after a swim.

Beside the bar are a cluster of chairs and a table, so you can get a bid of shade after a day in the baking heat.

The interior takes the modern vibe up a notch, with an open plan feel creating massive floor space.

Entering the house, guests are greeted by sofas and coffee tables, while off to the left is the modern dining area and well-fitted kitchen - which includes a huge double-doored fridge.

A living area boasts three large sofas all angled toward a wall-mounted flat screen.

The master bathroom - off the master bedroom - even has two baths.

The frontage is as modern as the back, but perfectly symmetrical, and towering as the different layers of roof stack on top of each other.

All in all, it's 9,500 square feet under air.

Lord Sugar also provided a look at the property from the air, marking it out with a big red arrow so potential buyers can see just how close to the water it really is.

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
