“Barons” Sports Bar and Restaurant

Sports bar and restaurant Barons has been open to public for several years already but still remains quite a hidden spot even for locals. Holding the same name as the Latvian basketball team “Barons” this bar slash restaurant is located in the centre of the town but slightly of the hustle and traffic jams of it.

Baron received his first visitors in the spring of 2001, and of course those were Barons basketball team players, who had a Bank Cup finals party in the restaurant. Quite often guests in Barons are players of Latvian hockey team who dine here every now and then. Press conferences of various sports federations and teams are often held here. Total area of the venue is around 370 square meters facilities are located on three floors – basement, 1st and 2nd. The basement area is fireplace-hall (Kamīnzāle) for 40 people, and on a 1st floor – a lounge area and disco bar to fit 150 people.

A typical afternoon visitor of Barons would be some local office worker or business man, so in general atmosphere and environment are quite business-like. Closer to evenings and weekends atmosphere gets less formal and more laid back. This place is also visited by families with kids over weekends quite often. But mood does tend to change depending on the events organized and held. When it comes to Latvian’s most popular sport of ice hockey, you will always see and most importantly hear a massive crowd of sports fans playing trumpets and drums, and waving flags.

If you are willing to get a place reserved for some family or corporate celebration and banquet (up to 250 guests), Barons can sort you out too. You can also hire premises with all necessary equipment for various seminars, conferences and presentations. Its rooms held in commercial, medical, construction and other business seminars, as well as at film premieres, clothing presentations and fashion shows.

In general Barons is a nice sports bar/restaurant if you want to spend with you family and friends in a cosy atmosphere. The downside is that it is a bit further from the main town centre, so getting in here is not that easy when you are a tourist, but a taxi should not cost more than 3 Lats from the Old Town .

    Fantastic pub crawl tour, our guide Laura was brilliant, very friendly , helpful and showed us some great stops. Recommend it to anyone. If you can get Laura to be your guide, she’s awesome 👏 gave us tips on which bars where good and nice places to eat.

    This was an amazingly epic experience! While visiting Riga, my husband and I booked the bobsleigh excursion with Riga Guide. Wow, what a ride! Highly recommended. Riga Guide was fantastic with returning emails and answering and questions and concerns we had. Our tour guide, Ilia, was fantastic. He was punctual, delightful and very personable. At the track he graciously took pictures and a video of us heading down the track. He made this excursion even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Riga Guide and the Bobsleigh Excursion!!!

    Lovely dogs, very friendly. Got to spend a lot of time playing with the dogs and the huskey ride was really good fun. Would definitely recommend. Would have been perfect with snow but can't plan everything!

    Unfortunately on our visit the long run was closed however the 15 minutes we had was amazing and I could not be more grateful for the experience and the communication Riga Guide has provided. Most happy and would book again! Doggo’s were also very happy to see us and receive cuddles!

    Steph, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. Picked us up from our hotel and told us all about Riga on the commute to and from the bobsleigh track. The g-force bobsleigh was amazing (it feels like a roller-coaster) and we didn't have to wait long. There's also an observation deck where you can view the national park. The only downside was an error by the office staff overcharging us for the experience, which put a downer on the day, as I was told I wasn't able to do the bobsleigh unless we paid more. This was eventually resolved by the owner when he apologised for the error and confirmed no further payment was needed. I advise you pay the balance in full before the trip to avoid incompetent staff trying to overcharge you.

    Ilya, the guide who picked me up to take me to the Bobsleigh track, was superb. He was in great communication with me on his way to pick me up and even sent me recommendations of places to eat afterwards. He was lovely and I cannot fault him.Unfortunately, the actual experience was awful. I had paid a lot of money to ride a vuchko down the bobsleigh track, when making my booking I made the company aware that I was going to be alone. I was charged a significant amount more than what was stated on their website which I didn't mind as I understood that I was being charged the full group price which would normally be split between the members of the group. But when I got to the bobsleigh track they insisted that I had to pay an extra €15 to ride the vuchko where you face headfirst as I wasn't able to ride the seated one, being on my own. I was only told this after my ride so I had no choice other than to pay it.I was clearly the last person to visit and ride on the track for the day as it was very rushed. Considering the amount of money that I paid for this experience I would expect to be given a little time to have a picture taken or look around the track in more detail. I was shoved into a vuchko, pushed off onto the track, dragged off the track and taken back to the car to go back to the hotel.I feel slightly cheated out of the money that I paid. The only positive was that Ilya, the guide, was so friendly and positive.

    We booked a bobsleigh ride and it was very well organised with contact through email and what's app. Our guide was so lovely and kept us calm before our experience!! The full bobsleigh was pretty scary but definitely an experience we'll never forget!

    I went with two of my friends and we had such a good experience with these guys. It is an amazing experience to feel the recoil and the weight of the weapon. Highly recommended!!

    We had a catamaran trip to Baltic see, 9 of us, having a party for my friend. It was such a great experience. Everything was organized so well. They pick us up from our accommodation exactly on time. Our guide Stephanie is a lovely, fun person, very beautiful lady, enthusiastic and active. Thankful to her we had so much fun. Also, thanks to our bus driver Aleksandrs to drive us safely home.

    A surreal experience for anyone who has never held/shot a gun in his/her life. It was scary but weirdly exciting. Sure to get the adrenaline pumping! Picked up and dropped back off at the hotel. The shooting range is set inside in closed off rooms. Very nice people, and very flexible - if you want to shoot a different weapon, you can browse the catalog there and pay extra on sight.

    I had tons of fun, for anyone looking for a real thrill especially if you are an experienced shooter, you must try the AK-47 Full Auto.

    The Riga Guide team were fantastic in helping me organise a Stag Do for 27 people. They are very responsive and helpful over email and quick to suggest alternatives if something doesn't work out (for example due to bad weather or traffic). They made what could have been a very stressful trip loads of fun and I'm very grateful - I'd definitely recommend using them for group trips. Steph and Irina were particularly helpful! Thank you!

    Curling in Riga! This was the highlight of the trip and something you simply have to do when spending time in Riga!!!! Everything was extremely easy to organise and the team were very helpful and welcoming. The coaching and facilities were also excellent. Highly recommend!
