Draugu Sēta
Take a courtyard seat in warm weather and settle in for hearty food and a long chat. Share a rib platter and finish with tea.
Ms&Mr Beer
Head here for an evening out together over burgers and draft beer. It suits couples looking to unwind after work or listen to live musical groups.
Paddy Whelan's
A pub for an easy drink and a chat. Worth a look for a relaxed date.
Victory Pub Riga
A pub for an easy drink and a chat. Its website mentions outdoor seating and craft beer.
Lokāls Veldze
An unfussy pub night after wandering the creative courtyards nearby. Go in the happy-hour window, share a few plates and take a drink outside if the evening is mild.
Senču krogs
A casual, wallet-friendly evening away from the tourist track. Share a big plate, take a seat outside when it is warm and settle into an easy chat.
Brooklyn Pub & Whiskey Room
A centre-of-town pub and whiskey room with beer, a long spirits shelf, cocktails and a full kitchen of burgers, pasta and fish for a relaxed evening.
Gauja
Go for the retro setting: potato pancakes, a beer and a laugh at the decor. A budget-friendly night out without any fuss.
Krodziņš Ķirmis
A no-pressure weekday stop: share hearty plates and a beer or two. Best for a casual after-work meet, not a dressed-up evening.
Kaķis Maisā
Share a flight of local craft beers and trade tasting notes while the fortification walls glow outside. A good short stop between sights rather than an all-evening commitment.
Queens Pub
Settle into a booth, share a beer plate and a steak, and trade pub-quiz style questions. Easy and unfussy.
Runcis-krogs
No-frills and cheap, so it works for a low-pressure drink. Order a round, ask for a deck of cards or a chess set and play a best-of-three for who buys the next one.
