A Must-Visit Gem in Riga: Reggae Bar!!

As a traveler from New York City, I can confidently say that Reggae Bar in Riga is a true gem that should be on everyone’s list. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the incredibly welcoming and friendly owner. His passion for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere is evident, as he personally ensures that every guest feels noticed and appreciated. The staff at Reggae Bar are equally dedicated and professional, ready to serve you with expertise and a genuine smile. What sets this bar apart from any other I’ve experienced is the unique way the owner puts the music in the hands of the customers. Yes, you get to choose the DJ and the playlist, making for a truly personalized and inclusive experience. There is no discrimination here—everyone is made to feel as comfortable as possible. The drinks are not only top-notch but also extremely affordable. Special shoutout to the bartender, a delightful woman from India, who is an absolute trooper behind the bar. Her friendly demeanor and expert drink-making skills add to the overall fantastic experience. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT make the mistake of leaving Reggae Bar off your list. The chic style of the bar, combined with the ability to cater to sports enthusiasts—be it football, American football, basketball, or American basketball—ensures there’s something for everyone. In summary, Reggae Bar offers an unforgettable experience that goes beyond just a night out. It’s a must-visit spot that blends a welcoming vibe, exceptional service, and a unique approach to entertainment. Don’t miss out on this...

Honestly, we came all the way from London (the actual birthplace of regg) because we were wanting to find some new Regg. Honestly, we went in and there were two people working there weren't in the slightest bit Regg, definitely not genuine Reggers . they didn't have the hair or anything. The place was empty. I asked one of the people working there for a Regg style drink. He gave me a can of coke with no glass.

Ok, so the staff aren't Regg, well at least the music is Regg, right? You're dang wrong, poncho! Some kind of awful europop nonsense with somebody singing a little bit like a west Indian over it. Trust me, I know Regg and that ain't Regg, poncho!

Lastly the decor. They had about 500 posters of Bob Marley (he's probably the only Regg they know) and then for some reason Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. Deffo not Regg guys.

Also the art on the toilet door was pretty questionable to be honest.

Would definitely not Regg again. Oh well,You Regg some,...

The cocktails were amazing. No, really, they weren't some Cuba Libres with a lime for comedic effect. Proper fruity, or cocoa summer tasting cocktails, that aren't too strong but don't feel childish.

The atmosphere was really chill for a Friday evening. Lighting is fitting and thought through. While it wasn't classic reggae playing, I think it was just the right choice for the start of the weekend.

We took a big plate of meat and vegetables. Don't be surprised if you need the whole night to finish off the 'bitty' slowly. There will be enough volume.

The service is great, with a good system for getting the attention of the staff without looking embarrassing...
