...everywhere! If it is a flat or house party - go take a couple of large bottles of Nefiltroff - the local non-filtered beer - cheap, tasty and cheerful! Local vodka is also pretty cheap and considerably well-done. Many supermarkets and small shops are open 24/7 so it's never late to go take another one, though be careful not to walk through the city at night if you are intoxicated.

There are a lot of places to go in the downtown, from coffeeshops to pubs to night clubs - Teatro, Fakel, Trash&Glam, Siberian Pub, Pivlyandia (Beerland), and U Kruegera (Krueger's) just to name a few. Most of the bars offer an international set of beers and other drinks for a decent (sometimes really low) price. Nightclubs usually have pretty high entrance fees to screen out the poorest part of the population causing the most unrest, so be ready for outrageous €25-€30 in the most 'fashionable' places to about €6-€7 in the less high profile ones. Sometimes some places take no entrance fees but add €5-€7 to your bill for live music.

Drinks usually start at €2 for a beer or €4 for a coctail. Vodka's pretty cheap so enjoy your stay. Bartenders and waiters may speak English, especially in places like Siberian Pub where the small expat crowd gathers. The risk of being cheated is scarce, especially in the more respectable places - still take a look at your bill before paying.

Just in case - there is zero tolerance toward drugs, even the softest ones - so take extreme care.
