The nightlife of the capital is varied and vibrant. Choosing a club for leisure activities for every taste is not at all difficult. However, there are establishments where access is not allowed to everyone. Among them is the famous Fantomas nightclub in Moscow on Bolotnaya Embankment.
History of Creation
The history of the institution dates back to the fall of 2012, when the co-owner of the Belka club and the founder of many successful Internet projects, Hovhannes Poghosyan and Snezhana Georgieva, decided to open a club of a completely different format in order to provide their regulars with a spectacular holiday in a special atmosphere. The third co-owner of the club is the banker Kamil Nevredinov, who, as a rule, avoids publicity.
They wanted to create a completely new page in the history of Moscow's nightlife, which they successfully implemented. Since then, Chateau de Fantomas has been a magnet for many famous personalities. You can get here only by acquaintance (as a guest of a club member) or by an individual membership card.
Club description
A four-story building onThe territory of the former confectionery factory "Red October" is a lot of entertainment for visitors: a restaurant, three bars, a chamber cinema hall for 14 people, a theater hall with a stage for performances and seats for spectators. It is in the theater hall that the most outrageous performances of both cult stars and masters of a very original genre take place, as well as various exhibitions of the Fantomas club in Moscow.
As in any other club in the city, here you can eat, drink, dance, watch a movie or show, hold any event on the weekend. The main difference is that all this is done in a special private atmosphere, only among “their own”, without violating the usual way of life and way of life. Here you will not find rampant, noisy parties, rude behavior, screaming on the phone or other attributes of most of the haunts of the capital. Fantomas is non-smoking, except for a specially designated room. From cocktails, diners prefer classics or the finest wines from all over the world, while the menu ranges from delicious European cuisine to a gourmet caviar and crab menu.
Hovhannes Poghosyan personally arranged the interior of the closed club, purchasing furniture and interior items (candelabra, curtains, etc.) even in Paris. And the walls of the club are covered with living moss.

Club Concept
The concept of the Fantomas club in Moscow is a special space in the style of closed English societies and clubs with a rather strict system.
Unlike most entertainment nightclubs in the capital, Fantomas is a place of rest for a limited circle of people with a certain worldview, for whom rest is not a stormy and noisy festivity, but an opportunity to hold a business meeting, dinner, watch an interesting movie or a show program in a calm and cozy atmosphere. It was for these purposes that the club was created, the format of which is intended, first of all, to surprise and inspire guests.
The club is a place where people like to gather who strive to communicate, live positively, are open to everything new, are able to change lives for the better and share their knowledge and creative energy with others.
Club Membership
Many want to become members of the club and visitors to the Chateau de Fantomas, but it is impossible to get into it from the street. At present, the Fantomas club in Moscow has more than a thousand members, about 60% of them are girls, which corresponds to the usual percentage of men and women in almost all nightclubs in the capital.
The procedure for joining the club is quite complicated and is as follows. On the Internet, you need to download the offer of the club, send a request and wait for confirmation to your email address. But that's not all. Five confirmations of the candidate's application from current members of the club are required, in other words, five recommendations.
But then the application must be confirmed by the council, headed by Fantomas himself. Only the decision of the mythical person determines whether a candidate joins the club or not. The approval process takes a maximum of one month. If during this period the candidacy has not been confirmed, then the candidate's application is automatically deleted from the system.
The administration of the club does not seek to force anyone to join or visit the club. Each club member decides when and where to go.
However, there are so many people who want to join the club that so-called open days are practiced: from Monday to Wednesday, everyone can come to the club, get acquainted with the rules of Fantomas and his secrets, and also apply for membership.
Cards for club members - titanium, with an embedded chip and a secret sign (a hieroglyph from Buddhist culture, meaning "great shining light"). There are several types of club cards: Junior, Mademoiselle, Gold, Platinum. Mademoiselle cards are for women and have a purely symbolic membership fee of five thousand rubles.
Program
Poghosyan, according to himin his own words, he visited almost all the coolest nightclubs in the world, collected in his club all the best and most spectacular of what can be found in nightclubs in Paris, London, New York, and made the program even better.
Fantômas night club is famous throughout Moscow for its original and sometimes shocking programs. The very first show caused a real stir around the club. The girls performed various tricks and tricks in places that are not customary to openly show in society. Among the most outrageous tricks are non-traditional cigarette smoking, longitudinal and transverse splits in various angles, which, by the way, are performed by girls - masters of sports in gymnastics. It was a kind of provocation, a challenge to the existing traditions of the nightlife of the capital and the public, fed up with all kinds of entertainment. However, the show was a huge success. Each show consists of 20-30 numbers, which are always original and never repeated. The first shows were staged by Alexander Legchakov, then by Oleg Glushkov.
On Mondays you can study French here, and on Thursdays the dancers of the Saturday show give dancing lessons for society girls. On Thursday, you can attend the vocal performance of the founder of "OM" Igor Grigoriev.
Fantômas himself and his entourage take the stage every Friday. For example, the poems of Eduard Asadov, performed by a huge man with a blue face-mask, sound especially heartfelt, and his subsequent disappearance in puffs of smoke looks very impressive.
Every weekend the club hosts a disco. Sometimes the owner of the club goes up to the roof and personally chooses the lucky ones who will be let through without cards. But it also happens that the club is completely closed for private parties, which are absolutely impossible to get to.
Any event held in the club is a kind of challenge and provocation. All club events are very popular:
- one-man show "Alice in Fantômas" with Alisa Khazanova;
- fashion show with Dmitry Loginov;
- performances of the promotional group "Apocalypse";
- show "Lady Burlesque" and others.
Poghosyan and Georgieva know how and with what to surprise and amaze their guests.
