Prospekto P.U.B.

One of Vilnius' liveliest clubs every night of the week, if you're looking for a night to write the lads back home about, this might be your place. With red carpets, silk walls, and candy-coated girls (customers!) melting all over the poles on the bar, Prospekto balances elegant environs and bawdy behavior. The girls here are used to being groped and ogled, so we can only surmise that's why they're here. If you don't endorse that sort of salacious behavior, you may want to stay away, but the great music and spirited staggering state of the clientele suggest it's all in good fun for everyone. Nights usually start with live music before the real dance-party dusts up. Stripteases (both male and female) shouldn't surprise, nor should the bar bursting into flames... You'll pay to enter, but an easily acquired flyer should cut the cost in half - pretty cheap as far as "Please-Touch" Museums go.

"Back to Prospekto almost two months later. The venue is the same as last time I visited, thanks Piero: it delivers where it matters. I believe it has success because it helps people come together. It is the catalyst of the right attitude and friendliness of Lithuanians and ex-pats alike. Prime role is that of mighty DJ... apparently his selection and sequence is random; but be assured, when the crowd needs help in shortening distances (or zeroing them), he will put on the right piece at the right time, and you will be grateful he did. Staff is efficient; as soon as the usual faint-stomach throws up in the restroom covering the floor in vomit and water, the restroom is cleaned and back in service again. Trouble makers are air lifted by Security and get a priority seat for the exit. Then there are the usual (grant me it) "Lithuanian" mishaps, say, running out of small change on New Year's Eve night, and unpredictable cover charge policy. And yes, beer is indeed tasteless, and served in glasses dish-washer warm. In a perverse way, I am happy low cost flights like Ryan Air do not land in Vilnius; I am afraid they will open the doors to mass tourism, potentially sexual tourism, and scores of stag parties, that are devastating other beautiful cities already (Prague and Riga spring to my mind). To experience Vilnius night life at its best, go during low season, avoiding July and August and New Year's Eve, blend in, visit the beautiful Old Town, and it will be well worth an AirBaltic ticket."

"Been there one Fri, Sat and Sun in November '07. The dance floor filled in starting from approx midnight and remained packed or almost on Fri and Sat until after 5 am; on Sunday it was still quite busy. Free cloakroom on Fri and Sat (Sun no cloakroom). Guys are smart casual and ladies definitely on the sexy side. Music was solid no non-sense pop, dance, hip-hop and R&B, some house, Italian and Lithuanian dance music, very enjoyable. I would have enjoyed more hip-hop... I saw customers did appreciate it a lot, dancing it "wearing" the partner ;) Big presence of Lithuanian girls, and many Italian guys. I noticed several couples of girls who were together (I mean, actually together), and on Sat some of them improvised a show on the bar. I felt very welcome: Italian and Lithuanians blend very well in that joint... after all, we are after the same things (dancing and having a good time, of course!). Damn if I found how to obtain a flyer, always paid full price for entrance. A few motherf****rs who don't know how to have fun started a fight on the dance floor on Sat night, and got neutralized by efficient security in less than no time... why don't those people stay home and watch TV instead? The most enjoyable disco Pub I have been into, along with Metro in Bergen, Norway. I can only criticize beer: I tried two of them, and in my opinion were tasteless... watery... not that other customers looked disappointed at all."

"This place is fantastic! You can hit it any time after 21:00hrs and it will be jumping. The local ladies are stunning to say the least and all make an effort. Prices are very reasonable in here too a large beer comes in at about 7lts. It does play a very random selection of music, and if you tip the DJ 20lts he will play any tune you like. The place does start to thin out at around 05:00hrs, before you get ejected at 06:00hrs, and then its a short walk up the road to a well known American fast food chain to get some breakfast at 07:00hrs (they won’t open early but will put the chairs out side so that you can wait in comfort)."
