Vecais Pēteris Krodziņš Riga

A Homey Tavern

"The interior is decorated with sports memorabilia, beer slogans, and posters that add a touch of Latvian culture to the walls, hugged by wooden frames."

Translated to Old Petter Pub, this surprisingly roomy and most certainly homey pub is a secret little destination in the heart of the Purvciems district. It is easy to miss, having its spotlight stolen by a newly-built Lidl store just around the corner. But make no mistake, the Old Petter Pub is still at the heart of local evening plans, making room for both curious tourists and thirsty regulars.

The interior is decorated with sports memorabilia, beer slogans, and posters that add a touch of Latvian culture to the walls, hugged by wooden frames; the pub combines the style of a typical old-English tavern with the comforts of a modern establishment. The food, as to be expected, comes steaming fresh from the kitchen and is all you’d ever desire at a pub: burgers, fries, fish and chips, onion rings and so much more. And, if you are feeling yourself a professional eater, they are offering a 2.5 KG challenge burger: finish it all in the given timeframe and get the delicious mass of food on the house! And, how could one forget about the beer options, here you can find both local, on-the-tap variants, and well-known international brands. If you are craving a spot where you can seamlessly blend in with the local pub crawlers, then Old Petter Pub is the right place for you.
