Rubbish! Staff litteraly stole me!

ilkka from Finland Reply Jan 8th, 2012

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

Jonas Bay from Norway Reply Nov 9th, 2011

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

To avoid!!!

Dan from United Kingdom Reply Oct 28th, 2011

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

raul from Norway Reply Sep 18th, 2011

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.

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.

Luck must have been on my side for those 2 nights I was there. Great people. Friendly staff.

This club was terrible.

Fred Creutz from Germany Reply Feb 11th, 2011

I want to hear how people have been ripped off in XXL Bar XXL Nightclub and at their hotel, telling it so not others become at this place that lately unfortunately has become a disgrace to the gay community and for Riga and Latvia, so the tax authority and the police are made aware of all people who have been ripped off there. Hope Riga-Life also put a warning about this place.

i enjoyed being there, but in riga there is another good club. i think its called Golden. try going there olala

Liam from United Kingdom Reply Sep 23rd, 2010

I didn't find it any more expensive than other clubs in Riga. It was quite good. Nothing special by UK standards, but OK.

tom from Germany Reply Jun 27th, 2010

wait after 2.00 a.m. to see probably more visitors there. beer was a bit more expensive than in berlin, but as a tourist, you waste money anyway. good to know that this place exists in riga at all.

Nathan from Finland Reply Jun 15th, 2010

I liked it. I dont know about the club being expensive. The prices of drinks and jacket are the same with every other normal club. Latvia is generally an expensive country come to think of it, coupled with the economic recession that worsened everything. I liked the hospitality and services there. The guys are gorgeous and sociable. I had fun.

Been there once & I did like it... coming again next month... :)

Karl from Germany Reply Apr 25th, 2009

I fully agree with Jose! Atmosphere is great! Prices like everywhere. Control your money yourself!

Jose Santos Gutierrez from Spain Reply Apr 21st, 2009

I loved this place ! I cant understand U guys what are U writing here about prices?? The prices is normal like a everywhere, I think more cheaper then many places in Europe ! I was other gay bar (I dont remember the name), this one was really shit, very bad experience, never more ! I think in this small and nice city, XXL is the best gay bar ! Nice guys, good people, good service, what are U need more ???

rick from United Kingdom Reply Apr 13th, 2009

very expensive and overcharging foreigners, almost no people inside not even in the weekend. Don't go, everything else is better

arnold from Belgium Reply Apr 2nd, 2009

overcharging for foreigners and to expensive for Latvians, getting worse and worse with less visitors every year. Time for Change. But for people who enjoy, still a bit dirty , sleazy and hot

Miki from Finland Reply Mar 11th, 2009

Double prices if you are foreign. Don't say a word when you entrance, otherwise the doorman will charge a double. Very, very expensive.

Tim from United Kingdom Reply Jan 9th, 2009

Agreed, too expensive. Not so bad once we got in but there are better...

Tom from Finland Reply Jan 9th, 2009

Must be the worst place I ever visited. Please avoid. Go to other places.

John from United Kingdom Reply Oct 2nd, 2008

awful place, nobody answered the bell for 15 minutes, very, extremely expensive NEVER AGAIN!

Daniel from Germany Reply Jun 2nd, 2008

very expensive......

Alex from France Reply Mar 23rd, 2008

AWFUL. Don't go there. As soon as people see that you're a foreigner, you'll pay twice the price for the entrance, a beer or even the cloakroom...dirty place and nobody there but the weekend.
