Sixteen Tons

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
