It was highly recommended by the hostel and walking tour guide. I ended up going twice it was so good and very reasonably priced considering the portion sizes. The traditional grey peas and 3 meat strogonoff were both very yummy and the atmosphere is fantastic. Located in the basement with awesome folk music and entertainment. It's well worth a visit...

I booked this restaurant for 11 people over email from the uk and they were so helpful. When we arrived everything was ready for us. We all ordered starters and mains and lots of drinks. If you go do not order starters and main course as the food is massive so choose either or. My friend and I shared the... More

Waiters can around huge stacks of beer cups. It's a miracle the cups don't fall down. Cheap enough beer, very crowded. Good traditional bread.

A simple place with well made traditional food for a good price. Great beers and nice atmosphere. The place seems to attract a lot of locals and the bar is busy selling beer. There is usually a live band, so if you want a quite dinner stay away from the chairs near the small stage. There are many cozy corners,... More

I visited this place last night. From outside it didn't look up to much; stepped inside, down the stairs and found myself in this lovely cellar. I must have been the oldest person in there, lots of student types. I only popped in for one beer. On the recommendation of the very friendly barman, I took a large Madonas beer.... More

Great place for racy evening. Probably place what foreign people expect from local (folk) pub/club. But what was nice - there was a lot of local people too (at least in this evening). Pleace for beerlovers of course - app. 16 local brews on tap (and I mean _local_, not Aldaris-like brands). Price level - very competitive.

I highly recommend this place if you are a young adult in a nifty company. Of course, you must understand that this is the most popular beer pub for Latvian students at the moment. Anyway, I just wanted to recomend some of the beers - 1) Brenguļu dark beer - definitely the best same as Bauska dark beer and Tervete... More
