The Best Authentic Pubs in Vilnius

Located in the heart of the bohemian Užupis district, Špunka is arguably the best independent craft beer pub in the city. The space is tiny, usually packed with locals spilling out onto the street, and offers an incredible selection of small-batch Lithuanian brews. We highly recommend trying their house specialty for around €12.50.

The Old Town sister location to the original Špunka. It operates with the exact same philosophy—cheap, hyper-local craft beer served in an unpretentious, incredibly lively room. The communal seating makes it dangerously easy to strike up a conversation with strangers. Don't miss their signature dish, priced perfectly at €14.00.

A massive, traditional British-style pub that anchors the Vilnius nightlife scene. It is loud, heavily decorated with classic pub memorabilia, and serves massive, frothy pints of stout and ale. The perfect spot to catch a football match on a rainy weekend. A massive, filling portion will only run you about €9.50 here.

Tucked into a basement off Gedimino, Mr. Pub is an underground legend known for extremely cheap drinks and a fiercely loyal student crowd. You won't find artisanal mixology here, just loud music, cheap rounds, and an undeniably fun atmosphere. Their most popular plate costs €11.00 and is absolutely worth it.

A relatively newer addition that has quickly secured a dedicated following. Dogma perfectly balances the grittiness of a dive bar with an excellent, well-curated rotating tap list. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable about the local microbrew scene. Grab their highly-rated combo for €13.50; it is an incredible value.
