  • 5/5 F. S. 6 months ago on Google • 234 reviews
    I stayed at Forums hotel. Arriving from the airport I saw an "Australian" bar next door. Being Australian I thought it was a bonus!! Very happy I stopped here for a beer. The staff are very friendly and treated me as a friend. Maybe because I spent so much time here chatting with people and drinking way too much delicious ales. I also met some great people from Italy and England and had a few drinks with them. Though the bar area is small, the pub has a large seating area on the deck. Great to people watch! The price of drinks was fair and affordable. The VW comby van makes a great bar. My best wishes to all the staff. If im ever in Riga again, Im sure to drop in and stay for a while. Thanks for your friendship.

    Not so cheap beer, but it was good. Place is small and cool But the staff wasnt that friendly, even when i was buying they didnt said a word, just poored my beer and gave it to me. Because of the rude answer here i will change my review to 1 star. I expect staff to at least say hi and respond, just normal manners in the service business

    Fabulous bar staff who were not only attentive but really engaging, only two floors open when we visited but a great chill out vibe in our opinion, well done all who work here.

    From the moment you step into the Aussie pub Riga, you feel at home. The staff are bloody fantastic and will go above and beyond to recommend, make, and serve you beautiful drinks, and the service? Top tier. Cheeky fussball table, and a beautiful terrace in summer where you can sip on a beautiful drink and watch the world go by. There’s no place like it, and I’m just happy to be here

    This little pub is very cosy and has an amazing choice of beers. The atmosphere is very laid back and the price for a beer is quite honest in my opinion. Definitely the best pub we visited during our stay in Riga. I would recommend a visit if you are up to some local beers.

    I don't live in Latvia anymore so it was interesting to see if Aussie Pub is still a good stop for a pint of beer.... and Yes(!), it certainly is. Staff is friendly (as long as you respect them, which should always be the case), prices are one of the cheapest in the Old town, and they have started to sell more of the local craft beers, which was a pleasant surprise (14 taps + cans in the fridge) They have a massive summer terrace outside which is always a bonus.

    Fantastic little bar. Staff were super friendly- especially the girl with the blue hair who was happy to make recommendations based on the types of drinks we like. We went at around 4pm and there was no wait and plenty of seats. Drinks well priced and great atmosphere

    The blue-haired bartender wasn't very nice to me at all. Criticizing my pronunciation first thing as I was about to order. English isn't my first language and I can't be expected to pronounce everything spot-on perfectly. As a result of this treatment, we quickly drank our beers and got out of there. Every other pub I visited in Riga had more friendly bartenders.

    Have visited only the pub that has very interesting and cozy interior. Inside they have a car that is made into a bar. Not a place of high quality but a perfect place to sit with friends and just hangout.

    What can I say about my Watering Hole? It is good. So good that I brought my friends here too. They have a big selection of beers and even cocktails. The bartenders are also very nice too. And I loved to shazam their music playlist too!

  • 1/5 Palace P. 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Its Nice to hear bar manager spreding lies about me. I arrived late to meeting with my friends, noticed they where having beers. From my perspective i didnt know where they got them, but they where empty, and i dont know what that bar serves. So after we got coktails we got baisically attacked by manager about thoes beers. She was rude and specifically pointed me out. Shure i did go there a lot but how should i know if they serve thoes beers. My friends left bad reviev. After wich i got banned from there and asked to apologise? Really i was just a bystander. And they had right to do that... and im kinda glad they did.

  • 5/5 X-Yacht 1 year ago on Google
    What can one say, if you present an old T1 Bulli as a bar in your pub, you have plus points anyway. ... And then also the super likeable and friendly service with the colored hair. 🥰 I love it.

  • 5/5 Simona G. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in Riga. Cool and unique interior design, large open terrace, tasty and affordable drinks.

  • 5/5 Egle G. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my friends visited this pub and we enjoyed the experience very much. The bartender(blue haired woman) was helpful and very chill. The atmosphere was a vibe and the drinks were super good. We recommend the “long island ice tea” cocktail.

    Small cozy bar in old Rīga. The bar table is the good damn VW van! Great stuff ^^ Great selection of draught beers. In addition, neat selection of shots and cocktails.

  • 4/5 European Traveller W. 1 year ago on Google
    Quirky bar with good happy hours on beer and cocktails. But at different times. Nice and warm as well, which in January is important.

  • 1/5 Manga h. 1 year ago on Google
    I've paid 8.5 euros for a cocktail called ,,Baltic kiss" and got a glass that was mostly filled with crushed ice and it went over the top. So I doubt that there was even 60ml of a drink that I've paid for...

  • 5/5 ayro69 1 year ago on Google
    5-7 happy hour on beer 7-8 happy hour on cocktails. Games, friendly staff. Great place to go for a few hours.

  • 5/5 Deniss B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in terms of beer tasting within the old town, especially for non-locals. Staff is great, prices are very good compared to several other places. And also, the design of the place is something everyone likes, especially when they visit the place for the first time. Highly encourage you to give this place a shot!

    I stayed at Hostel around 20 September 2022 after several years not passing through and it is even better than ever. VERY clean and organised dorm, bunks and showers, all secure. Kind staff welcome and coffee or beer in the morning. Every aspect has been well thought through during the years.

  • 5/5 Daire G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazingly priced, open late, and the bartender was really kind to us despite ordering quite a few mojitos during happy hour. Very cool bar in a great location.

  • 5/5 Al 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed. They do have a hostel above. Was there on a Tuesday night and it was full, probably will have problems to find a table outside during the weekend.

    (Translated by Google) The pub is one of the best in the city. The inner surroundings are immediately striking. Always fun and noisy. I can’t say anything about the hostel, I didn’t rest there, because the prices seemed too high to me. (Original) Паб один из лучших в городе. Внутренний антураж сразу бросается в глаза. Всегда весело и шумно. Про хостел не могу ничего сказать,не отдыхал там, ибо цены мне показались слишком завышенными.

    Small pub with friendly staff. The prices are traveler-friendly, but the choice of beers is bit limited. However, they have great shooters and cocktails, as well as some board games. Visit them.

  • 5/5 Otto V. 3 years ago on Google
    We came to drink at the pub with small group of friends. Very friendly staff who knew what they were talking about. A good selection of beers in taps. The music was metal which is also a plus in my books. Also the place was very unique, especially the bathroom. I cant recommend this place enough.

    Amazing local bar in the city center. We took the degustation of latvian beer and it was perfect for 2 people. Received 14 different kinds of beer (100ml each) and it cost 10€! Place is not big but very cozy. Would recommend for bar crawlers!

  • 5/5 Maya H. 5 years ago on Google
    My favourite hostel in Riga. In the centre of the city, bus station is across the street. There's also a bar downstairs, the staff is friendly and always ready to help. Lots of different activities like beer pong on Thursdays and happy hour every day! Highly recommended, that's my third visit and I'll come back for sure.

    We were sitting there, while the manager was sitting next to us, drinking. A short moment after we got our drinks she made us leave because we had empty beer bottles on our table (that were not purchased there). Of course, yes, our fault, but instead of telling us to throw them out, she took our full cocktails away and made us leave, during which she poured the drinks all over the table, meanwhile one of our phones got wet. She was calling us bad words, very bad experience, never going back there again.
