Ever want to party with a whale? All your Free Willy fantasies (apart from that one) will come true at Kuplung, provided you’re plastered enough to mistake a painted animal for the real thing. Home to a life-size piece of whale graffiti that stretches from one end of the beer garden to the other, this garage-turned-ruin bar pays homage to the big blue. Kuplung is a ruin in every sense of the word — a shabby wooden gate offers outsiders no clue as to what’s hidden inside, and even when you do wander in, the surrounding skyline is dominated by derelict soviet era buildings that look very ready to tumble on top of you. But all that decay is more than balanced out by the warmth of the place. The staff are welcoming, and a swarm of friendly jellyfish that hang from Kuplung’s ceiling bob and shake to the live tunes and DJ sets played most nights. You can also enjoy the maritime hospitality for half price every Monday!
