We are a group of non-loutish guys looking to stay in Riga and have some good fun. Just came back from another stag do in Hamburg and that was the biggest con place i've ever experienced.
We are also looking for good quality hotel or apartment accommdation if anyone knows anything in a good location near to the nightlife. If you thought Hamburg was the biggest con place youve ever experienced Riga i can assure you is no different and can be very dangerous where stag trips are concerned.
Just look back a few pages on this forum and read some of the horror stories of previous stag parties. If i were you why dont you go to places like Amsterdam , Prague , Budapest etc that cater and specialise in stag parties. Hamburg was a con? You ain't seen nothin' yet! Riga is extremely 'Stag Unfriendly' thanks to the behaviour of so many groups who have gone before you.
Any large group of English males is now viewed with extreme suspicion by most locals, and as a cash cow by others. Every strip club and many of the night clubs are run by the Russian Mafia so you won't get honest service in any of them. In fact it's a lot worse than that, you'll be presented with a bill for thousands of pounds and then beaten senseless when you argue about it.
You just DON'T argue with those guys! Imagine a Russian Olympic weightlifter in a nice suit with a taser or a pistol in his pocket and you'll get the picture.
