Sixteen Tons, Music venue and pub in Moscow, Russia
Description
Sixteen Tons is a multi-level music and pub complex in Moscow with distinct sections across different floors. The building features stained glass windows, traditional English pub design, and on-site beer production.
History
Founded in 1996, the venue began as a simple pub before becoming a major entertainment destination in Moscow's nightlife scene. Its expansion reflects how the space evolved to accommodate both live music and social gatherings.
Culture
The venue draws together actors, journalists, and students who gather for live music from Russian and international acts. This mix of crowds creates an environment where performances blend with casual social interaction.
Practical
During the day it operates as a pub, then transforms into a dance club in the evening with live performances. You can explore different areas since concerts and pub activities happen simultaneously in separate spaces.
Did you know?
The multi-level layout allows concerts to happen in one section while guests enjoy pub activities elsewhere in the building simultaneously. This design creates a dual-purpose space that serves different needs at the same time.
