Coyote Fly

Coyote Fly or simply Kojoti is officially the second most busiest place in Riga, after French Bar naturally.
Kojoti is also the most Latvian place ever. Foreigners are traditionally banned. In order to get into club you have to show Latvian ID document or be fluent in Latvian language. Very fluent!
Pros:
Always busy
Good Location, just next to Embankment
Lots of nice ladies, who dance on the bar
Strict face control
Unique toilets for guys
Cons:
Prices are a little bit higher than in average place
Slow Service
Usually no place in wardrobe
No place to dance (no place to fall down neither :))

"In order to get into club you have to show Latvian ID document or be fluent in Latvian language."
I don't understand how those club rules are compliant with the state's law and universal ethical norms... Isn't it ethnic discrimination? How it's different from 50ies America, where Blacks weren't allowed to go into Whites' places?
Quite racist really...
yep... a bit discriminatory... ;-(
what does "unique toilets for guys" mean? :-)
I've heard about an erasmus student who managed to get in (he was which some latvian people) and when some guys inside realized he was a foreigner he got his ass kicked by a crowd of drunk people.
I was also told that they don't let foreigner inside because most foreigner in Riga are tourists only looking for sex.
Well the place doesnt look that interesting or nice, so i wouldnt care if im not let in... Thats really racist!
Maybe you'll call "face control" racist as well cos it discriminates "ugly" people? Which would then make everyone "racist", cos everybody's free to choose their company, and so do private bars.
esli controlleri i derzateli latvijas ID eto professii to eto odno iz mest gde oni sredi svoix i ix nikto ne budet dergati

About this one...
Oh, I am holder of an Latvian passport and just now I have found another important reason why I am going to change this blue "piece of crap-paper" to a normal one. For the country where is no racist so mush is allowed....
grrr...
I'm a black male, and went into this club, as it's near one of the apartment I own in the Old Town, and where I live when I'm there. I was with Latvian friends at the time, and did get a few comments from a couple of ignorant drunk guys, but everyone else was very friendly to me on the whole. But I do understand their point about guys coming to chase after women for sex, as I have seen it far to often with quite a lot of the tourist guys, though not all. The door policy though should be a bit less discriminating as some decent people probably get turned away.
Alesja, probably you should do it, chalge that ''piece of crap'' and go back to Soviet Russia, where is your right place!!
But I'll definitely go to that bar! mmm..
As I have noticed, recently the entrance policy of the Coyote Fly has been changed.
I have seen few foreigners myself there, so my initial description is not 100% valid anymore.
I went to this place last year and I really liked it. They did let me in no problem... Will see if they let me in tomorrow night.
what does uniq toilets for men mean??
That means, that in mens wc there is kind of window, where you can see, what is happenng in girls wc, from girls side it looks like mirror. It must be realy funny, to watch how girls or drunk girls try to put on make up, or Tidy bras, when they dont knoe that mens are watching:)
It's sad to see that there's still racisme. F... this club
