What makes Portum stand out

Portum is on Verkhnii Val in Podil and is considered the city’s most important exclusively gay club. There are two rooms with DJs, a cocktail bar, a darkroom and a terrace in summer. Drag shows are a regular part of the programme, and current dates are on Instagram.

Smart clothing is an advantage. Martial law with a night-time curfew is in force in Ukraine, so events usually end around 10:30 pm. Check the current security situation and travel advice before any trip.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mostly male. Google reviews praise the drag shows, the cocktails, the design and the atmosphere.
