Eating, drinking and nightlife
|

|
You can
eat
very well in Riga's restaurants, but at a price. If you're on a budget, many bars and cafA©s do food that is less expensive and often just as good as restaurant dishes. There are also plenty of inexpensive fast-food places. Many places have English-language menus. For
drinking
, most of the Old Town bars, particularly those around Cathedral Square, tend to be expensive and geared towards tourists and the local nouveaux riches. A number of cheaper and more off-beat places can be found in the New Town. The majority of locals can't afford Riga bar prices so they buy beer from kiosks and wander the streets clutching bottles.
Riga has a reasonable number of
live music
venues, a few discos and some excellent clubs.
Gambling
is very big in the city with a number of casinos and numerous bars devoted to gaming. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
