Unfriendly staff. You pay entrance fee for a bad service. People smoke in the corridor between two bars.

Essential Club

I am fed up with bad comments. I had a wonderfull week end there in Riga. People are the mirror of yourself, If you are a bad sexual tourist acting like a colonisator it is normal to be treated like shit in every country. But if you show respect , try to understand the other to treat him as equal and make new friend , then this baltic jewel is for you. It was great there and I prefer winter to avoid all these drunk alcoholic shitty people.I have never been scamed or cheated and I have been alone visiting the city so if you did something bad you diserved it that is all.

Burlesque

Diemžēl jābrīdina, ka šis ir ļoti zema līmeņa pasākums. Pilnīgi neadekvāta cena par apšaubāmas kvalitātes fonogrammu paklausīšanos un dažu meiteņu vienveidīgām deju kustībām fonā. Burvju "mākslinieku" tikai nejauši var nosaukt par mākslinieku. Vienīgā odziņa - TV3 resnīšu šova meitenes smuki iepakotie kuplumi, bet tos var arī par brīvu netā apskatīties...

F this place and all the girls from Latvija, people from Latvija they are empty, only think in money, they have not soul. The girls just try to cheat you and get your money.

Essential Club

hey dudes, if a girl in Riga seems too easy and agrees to go to a bar/club with u, always be careful and check the prices first! Many girls have deals with bar/club owners to bring horny men who would buy £50 a glass drinks for them... Maybe you can get if you are lucky, but that is same everywhere... If u really want to enjoy the beauty of a latvian girl, u should stay there at least 1 month and work hard...

I have visited this place several times and never had any problems like other here. Maybe because the staff "know me" and and dont dare to try to rip me off. But dont buy the bartender any drinks, he just pretend to drink it and its no alcohol, just juice,hehe

Same place as Nobody write to the colonel. But nice more local place - crowded Thursdays and Fridays - friendly staff and prices.

Double Coffee

The previous comment is obviously fake (loads of English mistakes for someone who comes from the UK) DC is brilliant, you can order whatever on the menu, it is going to be delicious. The staff has always been friendly with me and even took the time to help me with my Latvian accent!

Worst place ever! As soon as you speak English the prices flyrocket! Very unfriendly! Not more than 10 people in the whole venue, all of them looked either weird or ridiculous. Total DISASTER!

it is better than nothing in Riga. Beer 3 Lats and on the Partytime weekends 3 Lats to get in. Riga is expensive anyway, but its almost better than the boaring Golden club. Nice Massageboy upstairs.Have Fun

Double Coffee

Dear Sir/Madam I am on holidays in Latvia, Riga. Today 4 of October me and my mum was in one of you branches in Origo. We ordered two Irish Baileys coffee. The coffee was cold. I am working in London in five star hotel bar for 6 years, I know my job very well. Was trying to explain to the manager of this restaurant that I am not happy with my coffee. I was surprised with her attitude. The manager she was very rude, was trying to argument with me and telling me that I am wrong. It was very bad experience to me. Very sad that some managers does not know how to treat own costumers, how to run restaurant and make you visitors happy. Very disappointment with a manager of Double coffee restaurant which based in Stacijas laukums 2, Riga. Best wishes. Kristina.

A funny place - but had a good time. Agree that the staff were positive, which made a change from other places we had visited. I give it 8.

never go there guys. Its just a bar of bandits, robbers and young rent boys that wont hesitate to empty your pocket, go instead to golden bar, much friendly and only 3 lats for a vodka redbull.

XXL

It is true that they try to ripp tourists off: My first wodka red bull was 7, later (as I met nice people from Riga) it was only 4,50. He excused himself with "he had given a double wodka). But even with my new locals we had debates about the prices of further drinks, as "the cheap wodka just ended and now its more expensive" - we were told. Its sad, that XXL loses clientel and gives that poor impression to people visiting Riga. Alternatively go to "Golden". The club XXL on saturday was okay, maybe 20 people dancing, drinking. Dark room: only 1.

Essential Club

I have been guest in Riga for more than 8 years now and Essential is a good and hip place to visit! I agree to the saying that the turists ask for trouble themself - maybe they just dont are able to get drunk without their mom/dad nearby - but will say I also have seen to many happy turist behave and make a good time...it´s up to you!
