Piens This absolutely snug 60-70s loft apartment is the home
for advanced twenty-something year old artists, designers, journalists, musicians and other hipsters. They are coming together for looooooong evenings of chatting, dancing, playing chess or novus and of course drinking. Boasts two enormous terraces and the very fi rst barsofas in Riga. Absolute must!
Aptieka (Pharmacy) The club owner uses the same concept of Pharmacy bar in Washington, USA. Besides, he is one of the musicians of Latvian/American band Macitajs on Acid. His dark green basement club-bar, offers spirits and music therapy. Here you will blend in with the massive crowd stopping by to switch on their clubbing mode, while playing favourite tunes on the original juke box.
Golden The atmosphere of the nightclub is created by its visitors
cheerful people having fun and relaxing, radiating positive
warm energy. Everyone will feel comfortable, regardless
of their plans for the evening. Perhaps you want to rock the
dance fl oor until sunset? Or maybe enjoy a good conversation
in a warm atmosphere with a friend or beloved? You
can even relax and smoke hookah after a tough week.

Godvil re: robust security, extensive queues
and expensive drinks, ladies shining like stars in their tight
dresses accompanied by self-assured gentlemen. Russian
and European pop and dance stars perform here occasionally.
A local experience guaranteed.
Dirty Deal Cafe/Teatro The latest tendencies in the world of
music and performance are shaking the old scratched
loft walls. Experimental theatre performances by Latvian
and European artist societies, electronic and experimental
music, festivals, refined young local bohemia. Defi -
nitely a highlight of your weekly clubbing night!
Space Dog Named in honour of the
soviet hero-animals Belka & Strelka that returned from outer space alive. Alternative interior design and djs and
live bands play on weekends. Brilliant venue to get involved
with local youth. Crazy live music dance parties,
vintage hits, free table football.
Space: Garage Space:Garage is back! say the happy Riga hipsters. If
before in Andrejsala it was more garage then space, then
now definitely its the opposite. The funkiest European
and Riga vibes and DJs in a space ship in the centre of
Old Riga. Welcome to the pilot cabin on the top floor of
the soviet storage building, with probably the best view
over the Old Town. We believe this place is a part of
Rigas clubbing history, so you dont have permission to
miss it! But beware, here nothing starts before 02.00.
Amber Night This new venue attracts a more mature club-going crowd,
so you will defi nitely feel safe and have lots of funserious
security is implemented. Mainstream house and European
top hits all night long.
Traffic Although it has a very posh central
location and a well-executed, yet simple light and airy
interior, still, this club offers a friendly and democratical philosophy
the entrance is completely FREE and the drinks at the bar are really affordable. Traffi c is the place too see and
hear resident DJs, playing disco house and progressive.
Disqotheque Located on the other side of the Daugava river, the club is housedin the glass and concrete cube, with three huge spaces: discofor sweating and shouting, Q bardrinking and chatting, DQlivefor live shows/performances.Free entrance, special drink proposals every night.
Push Despite it opening recently, Push is already known for
its laid-back and playful theme dress code parties, very
polite and friendly staff and, of course, a curiously funky
decor. If you are little tired of dancing, drift to the light
and easy Pull lounge. Its exceptionally central location
is one more reason to explore this club.
Leningrad The place appeared
from nowhere, some friends just took babushkas old
furniture and mixed it in a natural way. Its not a design
place, its not even a concept cafe, its just a soviet flat in
the way the citizens here remember it. The atmosphere
is completely comfy because it is a party-flat, where visitors
are neighbours or friends and you are recognized as
one of them. Ask for superior ukrainian vodka, famous bottled beer Zhigulevskoe or local pearl non-fi ltred beer Brengulu.
