Chukotka is always heaving on Friday and Saturday nights, and – being conveniently located at the northern entrance of Panfilov Park, in the vicinity of many other nightspots – it is the perfect place to get the party started. However, the cheap drinks, great music (a mixture of live bands and a DJ) and cool outdoor terraces mean you may never move on, and will find yourself still dancing away here in the early hours. The crowd is by far the hippest in Almaty, and you are guaranteed to meet young, inspiring (even more so after a few cocktails) trendsetters who know how to party like hedonists.
