Where to go out in Klaipeda?
This time I would
introduce you with some interesting venues that I perceive as being definitely
decent to visit, here in Klaipeda/Lithuania.
The place I like
the most is "Svyturio Menu Dokas" which is close to the ferry's place
and seem to be quite an abandoned place at the first time. However, when you
come inside you realize that this thing is huge and pretty outstanding. From
time to time, there are big electronic/dub step/hip-hop as well as more of the
jazzy stuff. It is easy to find something for you and from my perspective the
venue is great for that kind of electronic massive parties or even rock gigs.
The only negative thing is that there is no heating in winter and that
sometimes the events are a little bit overpriced as for Klaipeda.

What else? Well,
there is this place called "Kingstown" which is pretty neat however,
it was rather poorly renovated after they closed the previous club that was at
the same location ( the club was called Lamborghini and pretty much targeted
for R&B and Rap fans). Anyways, the club is quite neat in a sense that they
have this special underground kind of wibe in them and honestly if you are into
dubstep and all this electro/dub stuff you might need to figure that out for
yourself. Great people, great time, been there for a couple of times and didn't
regret any of those. Although, it is often not working on Friday's but
Thursday's and Saturday's.

Roxy. I think
there are hundreds of Roxy club's all over the world( meaning they all share
the same name). This location provides music fans and party monsters with quite
a decent variety of parties each week, including live performances of
Lithuanian and bands from other countries like Poland, Latvia, Finland, and so
on. Roxy is positioned as a rock club, but honestly they lack lots of true
rocking attributes for a club. Although, this venue is decent in prices and has
a smoking place inside, which is quite cool is you are a smoker. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Roxy-Club-LT/114821458556514
There is also
"Balta Varna", which is not really a club place but sometimes they do
host some decent funky/electronic Dj's with their playlists. The place is
rather small but cozy at the same time. They worst thing about that place is
that you need to clear your way in the way to the main room when tons of people
are staying' near the bar. It is very small but it has it's customers and I
haven't met any party poopers there.
For metal and hard
rock lovers there is a place called "Metaline Sirdis" which is a
club/bar venue normally full of people of different subcultures. I've been
there once and the place is rather too small for a rock concerts venue but neat
as a bar. They have cheap beer and it is pretty much the only place in Klaipeda
where you can enjoy the alternative rock/metal spirit around. It is generally
on the level of not too bad, however, the location is rather interesting- it is
in the basement of the railway station. If you like metal and would like to do
some head banging over the weekend check their schedules maybe you can find
something that will catch your attention. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Klubas-baras-Metalin%C4%97-%C5%A1irdis/209105922471154
That's pretty much
it for today, I might cover some other clubs next time, but mostly what's left
are clubs with R&B and dance music, so if you are into that..keep tunes and
thanks for your attention.
