Apelsin ("Orange"): Popular with Young People

This new nightclub is located on the western outskirts.
It has become very popular among the young people as a cozy and nice place.
My English friend who stayed in Luhansk wanted to see this club.
We stayed there until midnight and he visited it later several times.
Since we arrive at about 10 p.m. there were no tables vacant except those where you have to order drinks and food for 100 UAH minumum. That table costs additional 30 or 50 UAH.
The music was loud and nice, but the young people only started active dancing at about midnight after they had had a bite.
