PIANO MANThis pub has a reputation of attracting a diverse crowd into one packed and happy place. I really like that they constantly organise different social and even political discussions involving 'serious' people in an informal atmosphere. During summer, check out Piano Man Outside terrace nearby.Piano Man Outside | ©Friendly Vilnius

ZATARI often have lunch here as they serve the best falafels in town. Pro tip: try the ones with guacamole, they are the best. Open late hours on weekends, so it's also a good option if you get hungry on a night out in the city.Zatar: 9 Vokiečių gatvė, Vilnius | ©Zatar facebook page

TRIP SHOPI love urban fashion that borrows from skate culture (colorful tank-tops and sneakers) so this is my place to shop whenever I want to indulge myself! Trip Shop now has three locations in Vilnius. One in the city center, and the other two in the shopping areas. Bonus: they are wheelchair accessible!Trip Shop: 13 Vokiečių gatvė, Vilnius | ©Trip Shop Vilnius facebook page

CAFE DE PARISThis simple yet always hip place transforms from a café on weekdays to a party place on weekends. I have many memories from here: from dancing on daring nights to shooting a fun scene for my film We Will Riot. I'm sure the same goes for many locals in Vilnius...

SOHO This is the leading gay club in Vilnius and Lithuania in general. I really like this club because it makes an effort to innovate and educate. Every weekend a diverse crowd ends up at Soho: from club kids to celebrities, to hipsters and boys-next-door. Now that I'm not single, I don't come here as often as before. However, I still come for special nights when they have more alternative parties with DJ Gyvatnešis or even international stars like Hard Ton, Alexander Rybak or local diva Džordana Butkutė.
