Dumskaya street in St. Petersburg has a relatively short length. Starting at Nevsky Prospekt, it continues to Lomonosov Street. Initially, its name was "Living room", because next to it was (however, there is now) Gostiny Dvor. And only from the second half of the 18th century the name of the street was changed. The renaming was prompted by the fact that the merchant guild of the city created a body of city self-government - the City Duma. Especially for it, a new building was erected on the then Gostinaya Street. The Duma divided it into two parts. One of them was named Dumskaya.
The street was nothing special until the beginning of the 21st century. But today it is the focus of Peter's nightlife: loud music, bright lights, expensive alcohol and glamorous girls. The even side of Dumskaya boasts the trendy clubs Ludovic and Shine. As a rule, “enlightened” people associate these establishments with the attributes of a beautiful life. These are quite expensive places in St. Petersburg, which not everyone can afford to visit.
Dumskaya is a street in St. Petersburg, which has recently become a kind of cult place incity. The townspeople call it "street of bars". No wonder there are so many drinking establishments per square meter nowhere else in the city!
The first bars to appear on Dumskaya are Dacha, Fidel and Belgrade. They very quickly became so popular among residents and visitors of the city that after them, like mushrooms after rain, other bars, restaurants and nightclubs began to appear here. All of them today have their regulars, but, as a rule, for tourists, the promenade along the "street of bars" is of particular interest, rather than relaxing in the entertainment establishments themselves.
Not so long ago, Dumskaya Street could be closed for reconstruction. In this case, of course, all bars and clubs would be temporarily unavailable. But the decision on the reconstruction was never made, and the "bar" street continues to amuse St. Petersburg.
The streets of this city, in general, almost all - cultural phenomena and architectural values. Dumskaya among them differs in that it attracts attention not with historical sights, but with very modern places of recreation for young people. At the same time, it is quite boring here during the day. All bars open only after eight in the evening and receive visitors until the morning. Some of them are quite democratic. For a thousand rubles, in principle, you can buy a "powerful" dose of alcohol. So, the cost of beer is up to 100 rubles, long cocktails are about 200, the cheapest shots are a hundred.
Kitchen in bars does not surprise with its variety and amazes with its cost. Youth is herehardly eats at all. People come here to drink and dance. If you really want to, you can have a snack with nuts or pistachios. Those who are especially hungry do not hesitate to run to the Produkty store, which “hides” Dumskaya Street between the bars “Fidel” and “Belgrade”, or drop in for khachapuri in the only cheap “diner” here.
From midnight to two in the morning - the most "carbon" hours on Dumskaya. Alcohol flows like a river, dances - on the tables, smoke - a rocker. Dance floors as such are not provided in most establishments, so young people "circle" where they find a place. And here it looks quite harmonious.
