Blue Oyster (Saint-Petersburg, Russia)

Blue Oyster (Russian: Голубая Устрица, tr. Golubaya Ustritsa) together with Priscilla, which is directly connected to it, is a gay bar and night club in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The name alludes both to the fictional gay bar from Police Academy series of comedy films, and to the Russian translation of the word "blue" – "голубой" – which is a slang name for gay people in Russian.[1] The bar is open daily until the morning, and entrance is always free for men but may be restricted for women, and there is a tight face control. Together Blue Oyster and Priscilla have several bars situated on four floors, a karaoke room, dance floor, a lounge area and a dark labyrinth.[2][3]
