Serge Protishevsky

Since 2010, I've been creating restaurants, bars and club brands, investing my own money and running the businesses.

I also help fellow owners and operators launch projects, navigate complex challenges, attract guests and give them a reason to return.

Two of my venues were awarded
"The World's Finest Clubs" status

2016

Odesa, Ukraine

2019

Kyiv, Ukraine

In the industry

In music and hospitality for over 25 years, before ever opening a venue door.

Ventures built

Clubs, beach clubs, restaurants and a label, built and operated since 2010.

Cities

Kyiv, Odesa and Bali - Dubai next.

Industry recognition

World's Finest Clubs, for two different projects, six years apart.

Every project below was built and operated by hand – including the ones that failed. That's the experience behind every recommendation here.

Kyiv
1999
I started in radio, then moved into DJing, promoting my own events and art direction.
Mantra Party Bar · Kyiv
2010
My first club. After a difficult start, I reshaped the concept around community and a sense of belonging. In 2012, the venue received international recognition at the Monaco International Clubbing Show (MICS).
REEF Sea.Food.Community · Kyiv
2015
A seafood restaurant I eventually had to close. It made me rethink the role of the concept: good food and an expensive interior had not been enough.
Mantra Beach Club · Odesa
2016
I opened Mantra Beach Club in Odesa. That same year, it was awarded “The World’s Finest Clubs” status.
Eden Rooftop · Kyiv

A rooftop venue at Kyiv’s TSUM. Design by Karim Rashid. Awarded “The World’s Finest Clubs” status in 2019.
Mantra Production Bali
2020
I founded Mantra Production in Bali to develop hospitality and entertainment projects.
