B–Bārs

B–Bārs

First and foremost a bar known for its original artisan cocktails, such as the must-try "Black Balsam", B-Bārs is a trendy cocktail bar and restaurant serving top-notch quality food worthy of a fine dining establishment, all in a stylish setting in the heart of Riga's historical centre.

Skyline Bar

Skyline Bar

To reach this romantic bar on the 26th floor of the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, you have to take a slow ride in the glass lift which rises along the hotel façade. The bird’s-eye view of virtually the entire Latvian capital is reason enough to come here.

Vīna studija

Vīna studija

This venue is the perfect pre-party 2-in-1 that serves tasty food and offers a wide selection of wines all under one roof.

Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs

Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs

This dimly-lit pub is located underground and seems to draw rowdy crowds, so make sure to reserve a table in advance. The word is out about their incredible Latvian pub fare and extensive beer list, including the regulars' favourite – a honey beer. Live music is to be expected.

First

First

Currently one of Riga's hottest nightclubs, First is a riverfront establishment that has hosted some of the greatest DJs, musicians, and parties in town. The pool is not for decor only, and hookah is available as well.

Teātra bārs

Teātra bārs

A bohemian hangout for the intellectual elite, actors, and artists, this venue is where you go to people-watch and (possibly) engage in stimulating discussion on the smoking patio. Gigs and events are hosted here on occasion.

Balzambārs

Balzambārs

Named after the famous Latvian Black Balsam drink, this venue is the best location for an ethnographic exploration that should be carried out while in the capital. Balsam-based cocktails (and not only) are to be expected.

Paddy Whelan's Irish Pub & Sports Bar

Paddy Whelan's Irish Pub & Sports Bar

This Irish pub is a big hit among sports fans — the many flat screens in the main seating area broadcast football and Formula-1 events, while the quieter second floor filled with sport-related memorabilia makes for more of a chit-chat setting. Don't miss the garden terrace during the summertime.

Labietis

Labietis

Craft beer lovers will surely appreciate this venue – the beer is locally brewed with Latvian herbs, which gives each of the varieties a unique and distinct flavour. Ask the bartenders for a recommendation. Food is not served here, but may be bought from a nearby kiosk.

Aussie Pub Riga

Aussie Pub Riga

With its old VW Campervan used as a bar, the pub is simply irresistible for the hip young crowd. The Aussie theme here is present, yet not kitschy – everything in moderation. If moderation fails you, however, feel free to crash at the hostel conveniently located upstairs. Oh, and feel free to bring your own food!

Rock Cafe

Rock Cafe

It's not just rock that sounds from the speakers of this Old Town bar. Live music, pool, and karaoke will be some highlights of your night here.
