Nightlife in Riga
Once known by several clichéd names including the Vegas of the Baltics and the northern city that never sleeps, Riga’s nightlife scene has had its ups and downs over the years. EU membership had a civilising effect that led clubs to embrace fixed opening hours and the pre-financial crisis era inspired a proliferation of expensive cocktail bars, but it seems that dire economic times have largely corrected these trends. Neighbourhood pubs have slashed the price of a pint and clubs are once again open until the last paying customer leaves. But sadly many bars still close their doors before midnight on week nights and some strip clubs and late-night bars are still out to scam tourists, so take those beer goggles off and be vigilant.
