Alberts Pub
Bishop Albert founded Riga in 1201, so it’s perhaps appropriate that this sports pub located across the square from the cathedral he built bears his name. You can watch sports on three large flat screens, sample over a dozen different beers for under 2Ls and order burgers, fish and chips, an English breakfast or other pub food for affordable prices. In fact, nothing on the menu costs more than 5Ls. Naturally, Alberts shows all of the usual sporting events including local hockey, English, Spanish, German and even Scandinavian football and pretty much anything else you could possibly want to watch.

Paddy Whelan's Irish Pub & Sports Bar
Although it's considered a traditional Irish pub it's also a sports bar dedicated to the finer things in life – namely football and formula one. On the ground floor you can expect a dozen or so flat screen TVs showing different matches, while upstairs you'll find a cosier atmosphere with loads of memorabilia on the walls including a portrait of Pierluigi Collina. In addition to the usual Irish and international pub food, Paddy's also offers a menu of authentic Indian cuisine cooked in a real tandoor.
