If you’re here in Riga for the weekend and feel like moving your body to the rhythm of the night, it’s worth paying a visit to the city's newest nightclub.
We opted to go after midnight on a Saturday – what a tough profession we have – when it was already brimming with rhythm and heat. Every weekend is dedicated to a special theme. Ours was in honor of the Russian poet Pushkin, oddly, and we have to admit that on occasion in the early hours the huge state-of-the-art speakers beamed to the crowd several poems from his repertoire. Quite unusual for a nightclub. The main hall is a decently sized dance space encircled by elevated seating and a spacious bar in the middle. There were two go-go dancers perched atop a podium shaking their hips right behind the barstaff shaking their cocktails. The place was fairly packed with an international crowd on the night we went, but we were served at the bar quickly and kindly. The price for mixed spirits tend to be around €5. The venue lacks a special room for smokers, but it is allowed to smoke inside the main hall. It was little difficult to find the space to make all our cool dance moves, but Push is definitely a place to see and be seen. You can rise above the throng to the second floor to look down at the action and escape the crowd, but not the music. From here we cannily observed that many dancers in the glamorous-looking crowd were well into their mid-thirties at least. Rounding up: the music was great, the sound and the lights impressive, the service attentive – we will go for more. See you there.
