The Tunnel Club is to St. Petersburg what Hacienda is (or more precisely 'was') to Manchester. It was the first techno club to open in Russia back in 1993 and has enjoyed a tumultous history ever since, closing down in '97 and finally resurfacing in 2002. Legends about the excessive hedonism that has taken place in the erstwhile bomb shelter are two a penny (our favourite being the one about the drinks machine that vended ecstasy pills...), and much of that pioneering party spirit still survives! The music varies depending on the event, but expect the very best house, techno, breaks and drum'n'bass blasted out to a young and crazy crowd.
