Riga Nightlife

Now this view is even more impressive than the last one. This picture was taken from the west river bank, the Daugava River. You can already notice mnay monuments that are iluminated. The Old Riga is full of interesting and important monuments that are very interesting to visit either during the night or day.

This is the view of New Riga from the old town. You can see the Vansu brigde and the new building on the other side (west side).
Its very nice both to see Riga from the new part towards the old and vice-versa. Its gives you a better sense of how the city has grown.

The Bastion Hill or Bastejkalns is the small hill close to the Pilsetas Kanals in front of the Powder Tower. During the night this is full of youngters smoking and having fun with boy/girlfriends, drinking etc...
This ruins are the remains of one of the bastions of Riga fortifications.

In Riga are enough of clubs for all tastes. There are places with Latvian music, with Russian music, with disco music as well as jazz and blues places.
Mostly all clubs are open till the very morning or until the last client.
Most of them are located in Old Town, so you can find them very easy. But in that case you will meet a lot of foreigners in there and if you want to see how locals is having fun you have to look for the place away from center of the city.

It's a very big cellar, about 5 meters under ground...maybe the ambient recall you an old castle jail...very nice.
Here you'l find a kind of disco pub, with a dance floor, a pair of bars, tables...
It's usually full of young people.

Well, The place for gays and persons which don't fear to be sooooo close to a gay :))). Staff is wide open for any sexual orientation.

Ok, I didn't feel my self in this place comfort, just 'cause of questioning glances to me, but in general that was interesting. Good music and bartenders perfomance. Quite sexy interior, with plenty of small cabines and dark hall. Guess that pros will know how to use them.

Dress Code: Hm, I wisited the spot wearing my jeans and T shirt. Not realu sure that there is some dress code, but could be face control.

The only Blues club in the Baltics, which is widely known around Europe and United States as well. First it is the place to listen blues. In weekends regional Blues bands performs, but famous artists from Unites States and European countries are frequent guests, too. Fit up to meet idea how the Blues club should look like it is great place to have a meal, too. Usualy in menu one will find few recepies which famous Bluesman and "Blueswomen" donated to this spot. If you are a Blues lover, it's a must in Riga!!!

Dress Code: No dres code, just hang up your hat - ears should be wide open :))

While during day light it is treated as a upmarket restaurant in the evenings it turns aout for one of the poshest Nightclubs in Riga. They swears that their shows which are aimed for men and for women in thursdays are the best in the city. Well - tastes are diferent, but thats clear, it is worth to visit. Music varies from House disco to pop. Entrance which should be paid just from 22.00 till 5.00 morning is 30 EUR, so the prices are the same. Think I don't have to warn men about danger of popsies whic would be eager to have a coctail in your company :)) - the bill would be steep as Twin Towers in Malaysia :))

Dress Code: no sportswears just have a heavy pocket :)
