  1. A

    Latvia's 1st Rock Café

    It goes by a variety of names, including Pablo's Place, but there's no way you'll miss this massive four-storey structure with loads of glassy windows and a pseudo-industrial look. Restaurants, bars, dance floors, billiards and a rooftop beer garden are all housed here. The walls are plastered with old concert posters and the club features live music every night, as well as frequent rave parties.

    Big 7

    This giant complex offers a little bit of everything. Divided into multiple sections for dancing, drinking, eating and chilling, it also offers stripteases, pool and slot machines. Head upstairs to King 7 if you want to zone out on couches and pillows or fill your lungs with hookah smoke (fee per hookah).

    Grilbārs Bruno

    Exposed brick walls and sturdy wooden tables dominate at this cosy cellar bar inside the Amrita hotel. Enjoy a game of chess, darts or novuss - a Latvian creation that's part shuffleboard, part billiards - with a glass of the nation's favourite beer, Užavas, served on draught.

  5. Landora

    Decorated with fishing nets and junk from the sea, Landora is a small but hip joint. The outdoor beer garden is a great place to linger over a quiet late-afternoon cocktail. Live bands rock the place on Saturdays from 23:00.
