Pub crawls, brewery visits, and wine tastings — bookable ways to see Riga's drinking culture with a local guide instead of guessing where to go.
If you only book one, make it the Old Town Pub & Bar Crawl — it covers the most ground on a first night out. A brewery tour or wine tasting works better earlier in the evening, before heading out independently using our nightlife venue guide.
A guided crawl through Old Town's hidden gems and local favourites, with welcome shots included at each stop — the easiest way to see several bars in one night without planning the route yourself.
Check AvailabilityA 2-hour visit to a local brewery covering the history of Latvian beer-making, with five tastings included — a good introduction before a night out in Old Town's beer halls.
Check AvailabilityA guided tasting exploring Latvia's small but distinctive wine and fruit-wine scene — a different angle on Riga's drinking culture beyond the beer halls.
Check AvailabilityThe same pub crawl and wine tasting categories are also bookable through Viator, if you'd rather compare or already have a Viator account.
