Vyborgskaya Storona

Vyborgskaya Storona is a public cultural club on Ulitsa Smolyachkova in St Petersburg, close to Vyborgskaya metro station. Its programme centres on community arts and leisure rather than restaurant dining, with organised events, creative groups, classes, exhibitions and dance evenings taking place within the club.

The venue supports several creative collectives and publishes schedules for activities, making it suitable for people interested in regular cultural participation as well as one-off events. The programme can include group-based creative work, public gatherings and exhibitions, with different rooms used for activities and events. The setting is functional and community-oriented, with the club serving local residents and visitors looking for an organised cultural programme.

Adult dance evenings are a distinctive part of the offer. They take place in the large hall on Friday and Saturday evenings, with a mixture of contemporary dance music and retro tracks. A bar operates during these evenings, adding a social element to the programme. The format is aimed at adults who enjoy dancing in a dedicated indoor hall rather than a restaurant or nightclub setting.

During the daytime and earlier evening, the club’s activities are connected with its creative groups, classes and wider events programme. Exhibitions and other cultural events provide additional reasons to visit, while the range of rooms allows the venue to host different types of activity. The atmosphere is shaped by participation, local community life and scheduled programming rather than formal dining or sightseeing.

Vyborgskaya Storona is best suited to adults looking for social dancing, people joining creative groups or classes, and visitors interested in exhibitions and neighbourhood cultural events. The venue is located at Ulitsa Smolyachkova, 13, with access by metro, bus and tram. The club operates daily during daytime and evening hours, although individual activities and events follow their own schedules.
