Blue Oyster (Russian: Голубая Устрица, romanized: Golubaya Ustritsa) was a bar and night club in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.[1] 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.[2] The bar was open daily until the morning, and entrance was always free for men but may be restricted for women, and there was a tight face control. Together Blue Oyster and Priscilla had several bars situated on four floors, a karaoke room, dance floor, a lounge area and a dark labyrinth.[3][4] The bar closed in 2023 after 14 years in business.
