Drinks & Nightlife
A very popular night club, which is right next to the sushi bar that serves 2 for the price of one. Great music, cool setting - pretty much the go to spot in Riga if you're into clubbing.

I get asked a lot whether Riga Center is safe? The answer is yes, but as with all cities, basic common sense must be used. Don't wave cash, avoid lonely alleys and be polite to others and they will return the favor.
