Diskette Lounge

Diskette Lounge is a conceptual lounge bar on Apraksin Pereulok, dom 2, in central St Petersburg. Its interior is built around a webpunk vision of nostalgia and an imagined lost future, combining retro technology, vintage furnishings and playful visual references to earlier decades.

The bar counter is made from old tube televisions, while graphic installations draw on the look of a past technological era. A menu presented on floppy disks continues the theme, giving the venue a setting that feels deliberately connected to obsolete media and pre-digital entertainment. Furniture inspired by the 1960s to the 1980s adds to the period character without turning the space into a traditional themed museum.

Entertainment is part of the lounge format. Old-school game consoles and pinball machines are incorporated into the interior, making the venue suitable for guests who enjoy retro gaming alongside drinks and conversation. Atmospheric music supports the relaxed evening setting, while the visual details give the bar a distinctive identity for social gatherings, casual dates and small group visits.

The drinks offering focuses on author cocktails, with a cocktail menu created for the bar rather than a standard list of familiar serves. The lounge menu is complemented by a hookah offering developed with specialists from the Hookah Battle community. Together, the drinks and hookah options place Diskette Lounge within the contemporary lounge-bar tradition, with the strongest emphasis on atmosphere, design and unhurried socialising.

Diskette Lounge suits guests drawn to vintage furniture, retro electronics, pinball, console games and stylised nightlife settings. It also works for visitors looking for a cocktail bar with a visual concept and a more relaxed lounge character. Table reservations are available, with requests confirmed after a call from the venue's administrator. The venue can be contacted at +7 (812) 981-04-58.
