Trīs Vīri Laivā (or “Three Men in a Boat” in English) is a lovely bar/pub/cafe in the central part of Riga, named after famous novel Jerome K. Jerome Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889.
The pub is located in the area of Avotu street, a very interesting district, where anyone who ever walked down the street would feel a suddenly change – a place that has nothing to do with with a typical Riga city image. Streets get narrower, buildings get grayer and people around looking much more proletariat alike. However, after entering through the “Trīs Vīri Laivā” doors you would like its interior space – stylish wall decorations and toning, vibrant colors all over the place and special forms of design furniture, all of which constructs an attractive and lovely environment.
For the fans of real British beers, ales and food, this will be a place to go. They serve various ales and stouts on the tap like Bombardier, Young’s, Kew Gold, Special London Ale and etc. And together with that of course come Fish and Chips. In fact, those are not bad at all.
