Nightlife
Vilnius’ large student population help fuel an eclectic and buzzing nightlife scene when they are in town. In summer, tables burst out everywhere as the scene becomes positively Mediterranean, while in winter the bitter cold and snow drive people inside to the cosy pubs. The SkyBar at the Reval Hotel, Konstitucijos 20, offers the best views of any bar in town on the 22nd floor of the hotel. Old ex-pat favourite The Pub, Dominikonu 9, is still going strong as the city’s nightlife multiplies. Fun newcomers include Paparazzi, Totoriu 3, with its great cocktails and Prospekto, Gedimino 2, a big and popular spot. Nearby Avilys, Gedimino 5, brews its own excellent beer; their honey beer is divine. Brodvejus, Mesiniu 4, is a sweatily enjoyable nightclub/live music venue in the old town, while the huge Galaxy, Konstitucijos 26, can hold over a 1,000 techno devotees. Bang in the centre of the old town, the Helios complex, Didzioji 28, now has a nightclub to join its host of other attractions such as a steak house and sushi bar; a firm favourite of the local ‘beautiful people’.
