Union

Union is a bar at Liteyniy Avenue 55 in St Petersburg, combining an evening drinks venue with a regular live music programme. Its format centres on cocktails, beer, burgers and music, with the atmosphere changing through the week as concerts, DJ sets and parties take over the space.

The bar serves classic cocktails alongside original creations, with beer available on tap and in bottles. Food focuses on burgers, making the menu suited to a casual evening alongside drinks or a late-night music event. The combination keeps Union rooted in bar culture rather than presenting it as a formal restaurant.

Live concerts are scheduled on weekdays, while weekends are given over to parties and themed events. The programme can include live performers, DJs, vinyl-focused evenings and cabaret-style entertainment. Regular jam sessions add a more improvisational side to the calendar, bringing together jazz-oriented musicians, brass and percussion players in a format built around interaction between the performers and the crowd.

Union also operates Dvor Yu, a seasonal outdoor concert space connected with the bar. The courtyard functions as an additional stage during the warmer part of the year and can host concerts and parties. Its outdoor setting gives the venue a different option for larger music-focused events, while the main bar remains the year-round address on Liteyniy Avenue.

The venue suits visitors looking for cocktails, beer and burgers in a lively evening setting, particularly when the schedule includes a concert, DJ set or party. It also works for groups planning a music-led gathering or private event, as event rental is part of the venue’s offering. Since the programme varies by date, Union is best approached as a bar with an active events calendar rather than a restaurant built around a fixed dining experience.
