Why locals love it?

It has found their niche as the largest vinyl and popular/sub-popular music store in Riga. With sub-popular we mean an amazing selection of blues, jazz, avant garde, world music etc. - everything you can't get that easily. Every CD/DVD/LP in your hands feels exclusive like the taste of wine and coffee there.

Why you should visit it

"The River" is more than a great CD/DVD/Vinyl store with a smart taste in music, boasting a great wine selection and coffee. Drop by for an intelligent conversation with people who love their trade. We'd say in some way "Upe" recreates the feel from Cameron Crowe's “Almost Famous” movie about rock'n'roll.

Special tip

One and only place in the whole country where you can try the world's most exclusive Luwak coffee! We dare you.
