    Saksofons – Stabu 43
“Saxophone” had been serving as first showing place for lots of rock and punk-bands. Recently there was reconstruction made, but the main part of audience - still the same Russian rock and punk people, local and invited bands and their fans. So atmosphere in the club is as informal as in student hostel. Sometimes rock music festivals are being held. (review from http://eng.meeting.lv/wheretogo/)
