Aktau

The English Pub at the 5 Star Hotel "Grand Victory" in district 13 has a laid-back atmosphere and comfortable seats, but charges 5-8 dollars per pint.

3 Делфини near the Renaissance offers a well-priced menu and drinks

Shamrock Irish Pub in district 7 is a reasonably attractive watering hole with expat prices similar to those at the English Pub.

Guns and Roses in the Aktau Hotel in district 2 has a live music scene on weekends and expat prices to make it painful to enjoy.

Mojito probably has the youngest crowd of expats average age: 40 in district 4, and it is not as expensive as Shamrock even though it is almost directly behind it.

Fuenta Club in district 9 is probably the most consistently crowded nightspot. The music is mostly Soviet techno and old hip-hop.

The beach-side bars near Renaissance offer nightlife similar to that at Fuenta, but they mostly shut during the winter.

Restaurant Pinta has occasional ballroom dancing parties on Sunday evenings.

Arabica is a new club that has just opened up on the down the stairs from the Soviet plane. The club is a little bit cleaner than Fuenta and the location near the beach is nice. However, the music could be much better.

Esperanza next to Ramstor in Ardager Mall shows live English Premier League matches and offers a decent menu in a rather small, cramped area.
