Two More Beers Riga: 100+ Beers and an Unusual Food Menu
While wandering through Riga’s Old Town, we looked for somewhere to grab a bite and, naturally, a beer or two. That is how we ended up at Two More Beers, a spot where the beer list is just as much a part of the experience as the food. We came in expecting a casual drink and a quick meal. Still, the menu turned out to be far more interesting than your typical beer bar, with local flavors, unusual combinations, and plenty to tempt us into trying something new.
First Impressions
From the moment we waddled inside, the black-and-red decor gave the place a darker, slightly edgy feel, but it still felt welcoming rather than intimidating. The space was clean, spacious, and comfortably laid out, with plenty of tables and room to settle in without feeling crowded. It is not trying to be a fine-dining restaurant, and that works in its favor. The atmosphere feels casual and relaxed, although our table was a little sticky when we arrived. Overall, our first impression was of a straightforward, inviting place where you can sit down comfortably and focus on the food.

The Experience
Two More Beers has a relaxed, casual atmosphere that suits its beer-focused concept without feeling like a noisy pub. The interior is spacious, with plenty of different seating areas, which helps keep the noise level comfortable even when other guests are around. The design has a warm, slightly rustic feel that suits the historic Old Town setting, and the overall crowd is relaxed and easygoing. Service was another highlight: the staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to help as we chose from the extensive beer and food menu. Overall, it feels like a place where you can settle in for a drink and a meal without feeling rushed.
What We Ordered
The menu is where it moves beyond the standard beer-bar formula. Plenty of familiar comfort food, but the kitchen clearly enjoys playing with ingredients and presentation, pairing beer-friendly dishes with Latvian flavors and some genuinely unusual combinations. Think venison served in a potato-and-hemp-seed waffle, prawns with chorizo and smoked pepper, fried venison dumplings, Baltic herring, and even beer-based desserts. What works particularly well is the variety: you can keep things simple with fries or ribs, or use the menu as an opportunity to try something you would not normally order. It is not a tightly focused fine-dining menu, but it is creative, playful, and clearly designed to make the food part of the beer experience rather than an afterthought.
Complimentary Walnuts
€ 0
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)
We started with the complimentary walnuts, which turned out to be a surprisingly fun little addition. Rather than serving them ready to eat, they arrived whole, meaning we had to crack and prepare them ourselves. You don’t often encounter that in a restaurant, and that small extra step made the snack feel more interactive. The walnuts were fresh and worked nicely as something to nibble on while choosing our food and beers. Not a culinary highlight, but definitely a memorable and unusual touch.
Canned Moose Meat on Rye Bread
€ 11.70
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
This was one of the memorable dishes we tried, starting with the presentation. The moose meat really arrived in a can, which made the serving playful and surprisingly creative. The stewed moose meat itself was excellent, rich, tender, and full of flavor, and paired well with the rye bread. Unfortunately, the toasted rye was a little too burnt for our liking, so we would skip that part or ask for it less toasted. The fresh hot peppers also brought quite a serious kick, so go easy if you are sensitive to spice. Overall, though, the meat was the star, and the unusual presentation made this a dish we would happily order again.
Sweet Potato Fries with Chili Mayo
€ 5.80
Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5)
The sweet potato fries were a decent side, but they fell a little short of being a standout. They were slightly too oily and lacked the crispness we’d liked, and the seasoning leaned a little too salty. The saving grace was the homemade chili mayo, which we really enjoyed. Creamy with a pleasant kick, it added the extra flavor the fries themselves were missing. Overall, a perfectly serviceable side, but the mayo was the stronger part of the pairing.
Salted Herring Tartare
€ 10.80
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
This was one of the more visually appealing dishes we tried. The herring tartare was neatly arranged over cottage cheese, with fresh herbs and bright pickled onions adding color and contrast. The herring had a pleasant salty, savory character, while the creamy cottage cheese softened its intensity and gave the dish a smoother texture. The pickled onions were particularly useful, bringing acidity and freshness that kept the combination from feeling too heavy. Paired with the potatoes, it made for a simple but well-balanced dish that showcased a distinctly Baltic ingredient in a more modern presentation.
Chocolate Donut Burger
€ 8.20
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
This was the most visually striking dish of the meal. At first glance, it genuinely looked like a savory burger, with the dark sesame-covered donut, layers of fruit and sauces, and even the way it was assembled. Take a bite, though, and it quickly becomes clear that this is a dessert. The combination of chocolate, strawberries, mint, passion fruit, orange jelly, mango chutney, and caramel created a playful mix of sweet, fruity, and slightly tangy flavors. It was enjoyable, although the size was perhaps its only drawback. This is a substantial dessert, almost big enough to count as a main course if you are coming specifically for something sweet. A creative and memorable finish, particularly for anyone who enjoys desserts that do not take themselves too seriously.
Wine & Beer
~ € 11
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)
Of course, we could not visit without trying one of their beers, and with such an extensive selection, there was plenty to choose from. Their current menu lists 26 beers on tap and more than 100 bottled beers, so beer is clearly the star of the drinks menu. We also dared to order a glass of red wine, and it turned out to be a pleasant choice alongside the food. Overall, the drinks selection is much broader than the name might suggest, although if you come here, the sheer beer selection is definitely what deserves your attention.
Overall, Two More Beers delivered a fun and pleasantly unconventional dining experience. The menu offers far more than typical pub food, with creative dishes such as salted herring tartare and the surprisingly memorable canned moose meat, while the chocolate donut burger made for a playful dessert. Some dishes were stronger than others, with the sweet potato fries lacking crispness, but the variety and willingness to experiment made the menu enjoyable to explore. The drinks list is another major draw, with an impressive beer selection and enough alternatives, including wine, for non-beer drinkers. Combined with the spacious interior, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly, attentive service, it is a place where you can comfortably settle in for a meal and a few drinks rather than stop for a quick beer.
We also really enjoyed the menu itself, which felt thoughtfully put together rather than simply listing the usual beer-bar staples. It included helpful illustrations and suggestions for pairing different beers with food, making it easier to explore the selection and try combinations we might not have chosen on our own. Dishes such as the salted herring tartare, stewed moose meat, and chocolate donut burger showed just how varied and playful the kitchen can be. Combined with the cozy atmosphere, the menu added another layer to the experience and made the whole visit feel like more than simply stopping for a beer and a meal.
Our Verdict
★★☆
Two More Beers Riga delivers a casual, cozy beer-house experience built around an unusually extensive drinks selection, creative food, and a relaxed Old Town atmosphere. The menu is one of its strongest points, with everything from Baltic-inspired dishes such as the salted herring tartare and canned stewed moose meat to the playful chocolate donut burger. The moose was our highlight, with excellent flavor and a memorable presentation, while the herring offered a well-balanced mix of salty, creamy, and acidic elements. The sweet potato fries were less successful, lacking crispness and arriving a little oily, but the homemade chili mayo was excellent. With 26 beers on tap and 100+ bottled beers, plus wine and other drinks, there is plenty to explore. Friendly service, comfortable seating, and a relatively quiet atmosphere made it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal rather than feel rushed. If you are looking for somewhere in Riga where the beer list is only part of the story, Two More Beers is worth adding to your food itinerary.
