Riga Night-Style

Club EssentialFace control. The best local DJs and hot guest DJs from all over the world, highly professional and audience friendly dance floor – all of this in club Essential. Highest quality above all, as from interior, sound and light equipment, as far as general service, though most importantly—the MUSIC.
(2 Skolas Street)

Dickens Pub
Here, it's all about foreign businessmen mingling, embassy staff unwinding, and local women looking to improve their English. With this convincing Brit pub, Riga has more in common with London than just grey skies.
(9/1 Grecinieku Street)

Pizza Jazz
A great design concept: a cozy, two-storey interior with separate non-smoking corners. Try one of the 30 pizzas, prepared with mainly Latvian ingredients, but with decent taste for a decent price. Great coffees and pastries.
And also from 10.00 till 23.00 you may order a pizza, and if order exceeds 5Ls, it will be delivered for free.
(19 Skunu Street, 76 Brivibas Street, 15 Raina blv.)

Studio 69
Walk down seemingly endless corridors and past the casino to discover what is no doubt Riga's most exclusive and expensive strip club. This club is more a show-off place for the rich and the famous. Regular topless shows will keep you asking for more. Studio 69 looks like a cross between an ultra modern disco and a tacky bordello.
(96 Brivibas Street)

Cocktail Bar
If you want to meet some Latvian celebrity, you definitely need to visit - Vairak Saules. It has bright orange-and-yellow bar with plastic furniture has a slight ’70s feel to it. There’s a long list of creative cocktails on offer. They play pleasant background music, often R&B. Vairak Saules is popular with locals and tends to get crowded at night. (60 Dzirnavu Street)

Viva 70ˇs!
Have you seen Osteen Powers, do you conceder him to be funny. If you answer is YES, then Zup, zup! Lounge is definitely a place for you to visit...
This place is fantastically bight and fabulous, over a dozen disco balls hanging from the ceiling and a fun, retro 1970s atmosphere are among its major draws. All people are happy and smiling all the time, every one is welcomed here. Go straight to 15 Kalku Street and enjoy your-self.

For the Beautiful View

Skyline bar is located on the 26th floor of Reval Hotel Latvia and has the best views of Riga.
The whole place feels a little like a luxury ship that's been permanently floated in mid air. At night, candles are placed on the tables and the lights are turned down, so it is possible to behold the city below you sparking like a field of stars.
The bar offers an eclectic selection of cocktails complementing the range of snacks. At Skyline Bar there is also music, spice and fun - enjoyable gatherings find a perfect setting there every nights of the week.

SWAMP
Swamp (Purvs) is located in a sketchy neighborhood, the only sign that you've arrived is a fluorescent rainbow flag over a doorway bearing the sign "medical center."
But don't let the name prevent you from trying out this chic gay club. Walk down a long, undecorated corridor, check your coat with the beefy bouncer and prepare for something - well, a little different at least. Semi-erotic dance performances and even the occasional transvestite show will liven up your night, especially if you are blessed enough to get pulled up on stage. Pretty boys in tight jeans make out and loudly call each other "slut" and "whore"; butch girls paw each other's privates on the dance floor. Straights are welcome to come and party too as long as they respect the local customs. Swamp

For those who like pool and blowing recommendations are following:
A popular bar Melnais Kakis (Black Cat) offers its visitors food, drinks and big variety of games, such as - slot machines, pinball machines, pool tables and dartboards. (10 Meistaru Street) But one of the best places for billiard is Riga is NB, which is specialized in pool. (9 Skunu Street)
The best bowling is at the Bowling Center at Ganibu Dambis 25d and the largest bowling centre in the Baltics— Bowlero. (27 Lielirbes Street)

After a long year a well-known Russian band Bi-2 is going to visit Riga again, on 15th of April. Concert will take place in nightclub La Rocca, the largest and liveliest nightclub in Riga.
Recently, Bi-2 and Latvian band Brain Storm have recorded a song together “Slippery Streets”, which is included in a new album of Bi-2 released on the 2nd of March.
Hopefully, we will have a possibility to hear this song performed by these two groups alive on the 15th of April in La Rocca.

Voodoo

Voodoo is one of the most gorgeous clubs in Riga; in fact this is the only nightclub with special African style design.
The whole complex consists of: the Vodka bar – vending the exclusive Voodoo vodka; the Tower Voodoo Casino – the first theme casino of this kind, decked out in a specific style, in this case, Africa, that sports unique bamboo playing tables; the Voodoo disco – where techno is strictly outlawed and people chill out to 70s, 80s flowery funk and Latino vibes, expertly spun by the Irish ex-BBC radio DJ.
