LIFT

NOTE: Ukraine is under martial law due to the Russian invasion. Venues operate under wartime conditions including midnight curfew. Events typically end by 10:30pm. Verify current status before visiting. LIFT is one of Kyiv's larger gay clubs, occupying the 4th floor of a building on Velyka Vasylkivska Street with no exterior signage to mark its presence — standard practice for gay venues in Ukraine, which have historically preferred discretion. The club is known for karaoke bar programming on weekdays hosted by drag queens, and two dance floors on weekends. The venue has continued to operate into 2025-2026, adapting its schedule to the wartime curfew by structuring events to conclude by 10:30pm. The absence of exterior signage means first-time visitors should research the exact entrance before arriving. Current hours and operating status should always be verified before visiting.
