The grimy communist days are over: St Pet bustles with bars and clubs nowadays. There are plenty of nice bars around town. You'll meet many foreigners, as well as wealthy locals in places like Marstall, Tribunal Bar or the English/Irish pubs. Cafe Antwerpen (picture) is good for beers early in the evening.
Going to some of the places where foreigners hang out, gives you an idea of the new Russia: people with lots of cash, wearing designer outfits. It may not always be honestly earned, but if you're having a good time with each other, to be honest, no-one really cares...

Dress Code: Dress up neatly, Russians love showing off so overdressing isn't one of your main concerns here. Naturally cafés and bars are less strict in their dress codes.
Directions: There are bars all over the city centre, walk around or ask a local, you'll often run into something cool! Cafe Antwerpen is located 5mins walking to the northeast of the St Peter and Paul's Fortress.
