Purga Review

They literally celebrate the New Year every night here, and it's still as engaging as ever. Whatever season and the weather outside, you get the full holiday package in Purga, complete with decorated Christmas tree, Father Frost, and Snow Maid, champagne, dance party, and festive atmosphere. A thorough collection of season's greetings recordings delivered by Soviet and Russian leaders is broadcast and mocked all through the night. This ritual has become one of St. Petersburg's most memorable nights out. The food and beer is good and inexpensive, and the droll staff is dressed in white rabbit costumes. Each table has its own original design. Be sure to get there and fill your glass before midnight. Purga's clone next door throws wedding parties with the same regularity and similar comic bent.
