Kaņepes Kultūras Centrs

Why locals love it

Not really a typical Culture Centre. In fact, it’s for people who love culture but aren’t snobs about it. The building since 1895 has gone through everything from aristocratic families, artist Boheme and students from Academy of Arts and RTU.

Why you should visit it

Bicycles, down-to-earth parties with bohemian vibe, drinks – from coffee to cocktails – a stage for live performances are just a few things to experience here.

Special tip

Look for the giant lion's statue on the facade to figure out if you've found the right place.

A relaxed place with an authentically “come as you are” attitude. They actually have statements up on the walls that are accepting of people from all kinds of backgrounds. Good craft beer, although Im partial to the KKC gimlet. No food at night, but lunch served during the day. I’ve pretty sure that I’ve paid with a card at the bar.

They don't take credit cards, but have nice vibe and good drinks. Great parties to be honest.

that's my favorite place to sit after busy week and be with friends and sometimes with people that you don't know. I mean, there you can meet a lot of interesting people mostly from artists world. On weekends they have party mood but in the beginning of the week they have mood of silence, but not always.
