DISCOS, MUSIC CLUBS, PUBS, AND BARS
La Rocca
No doubt the largest and liveliest nightclub
in the Baltics, this converted theatre
provides entertainment for the eyes and ears in
the form of techno, spandex garments that barely
cover the waitresses' backsides, bartenders who
wear paint in place of bras and hundreds of people
trying hard to look their best. Surprisingly cheap
drinks. Admission: 2 - 5Ls.
Club Essential
Having experienced the ill-fated disco
that once occupied this space, we were relieved
to discover that this trendy club is essentially
a new creation or, to speak frankly, not another
typical boring Riga techno club. In fact, it’s
quite stylish offering a funky chill out room
and several distinct, separate areas on two levels
which are all a part of the action surrounding
the central dance floor. The music is fast-paced
and progressive which is what you’d expect given
the talented DJs it imports from around Europe
each weekend. Admission: 5Ls.
Faschion
Club
The elegant Fashion Club is a
partner of that captivating television channel
Fashion TV and is located inside what used to
be an exquisite theatre. Like the television show
over which most men stand up with a puddle on
their trousers (from the drool of course), the
Fashion Club is centred on the fashion industry
with regular runway shows every week. Shake your
gluteus to the maximus with the latest entries
on the dance charts or watch supermodels on the
giant screen.
Double Coffee
The coffee house «Double Coffee»
swiftly gained popularity and grew into a chain
of seven cafes, each one identical in decor style
(included are photographs and the history of the
very first «Double Coffee»). The original design
conception was to make a universally snug and
comfortable place. Technical difficulties emerged
with ventilation pipes and the entrance area.
The pipes are played upon to become a part of
decoration. The L-shape layout helped to arrange
smoking and non-smoking rooms. The walls in non-smoking
room are painted red and in smoking room they
are yellow and green. Association with traffic
light come to mind but the true reason is different:
the smoking room was dark, now green and yellow
fill it with light. The red color makes the non-smoking
room a chamber. Poster style pictures and photos
of coffee-beans brighten up the space. A special
feature is a DJ console sarranged above the bar (DJs play weekends).
