Hot pursuits through Riga streets, epic explosion of Riga Hotel and many other scenes involving Riga sights.

La Rocca

LaRocca Club Riga
La Rocca is the biggest and one of the most famous night clubs in Riga. It is located on Brivibas iela.
La Rocca was opened in 2000 in the building of former Operetta Theatre. In 2007 La Rocca was on fire, but since the end of 2008 La Rocca is open again.
La Rocca consists of 3 dance floors Red Square, RnB Bar and Main arena with different music styles. Also it shares the same roof with Studio 69 and many other entertainment facilities. Although you can visit it for additional entrance fee.
Regular LaRocca visitor's age is between 16 and 21, hence prices in bar are relatively low if we compare them to other Riga places.
The main disadvantage of La Rocca is the fierce security guards and distance from other night clubs.

Updated: Larocca club is closed down. Since December 2010 club Rai is located here.
