This place is disgusting. I along with my mates went in on a Friday. It was empty. The music was wank. And don't even get me started with the drinks prices. Ten euros, YES TEN EUROS, for Vodka and coke! I'm still spitting feathers now thinking about it. And they wonder why the place is dead. The atmosphere is also really shit. Go a straight bar, half the price and staff are much nicer. I'm 100% a gay man - avoid this place

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
