For a while three siblings worked in the town with an idea of making their own bar and one day they actually did - opening their own social pre-party café that also hosts amazing parties and after-parties!

The Milk Club

Legendary one of the first hang-out places that opened out of the central part of Riga and was made for friends who are tired of overly fancy people to hang out. Bonus - with a safe spot to park their bicycles as well. Read more ›

Largest summer roof terrace in Baltics

Terrace Riga

There aren't many places with panoramic view in Riga. Terrace Riga, located in Galleria Riga shopping centre, is one of few and you can enjoy a 360° panorama there. The cafes and bars here are quite touristic and Russian-oriented, but the good thing is that the roof is public and you can just visit it to take some pictures! Read more ›
