    Incredible little bar hidden away in Riga old town. All local alcohol, with some absolute gems with beer, liquers and gin. Do not miss the cherry negroni or rhubarb cider. Uldis the bartender is so informative and makes such amazing cocktails so effortlessly. Ask him to try the puzzle out - I guarantee you won't get it but it's fun trying 🤣 Super warm and cosy so great in winter too. All in all my favorite place I visited in Riga for drinks so make sure you find it!

    Enjoyed every moment and every corner of this place. They have amazing drinks, atmosphere and person behind the bar counter. The bar introduced me to now my favourite Bohemian beer, which takes like child of kvass and dark beer, but also happiness 😁 You also have great possibility to find yoga master in you and get a free shot. It's super entertaining and challenging, but definitely unforgettable experience.

    Awesome staff, really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area. Was told that the basement is from the 1300’s. Also, everything they serve is Latvian, so great if you wanna try something local 👌

    Good vibes and a good time. Great place to have a drink and meet some people. Staff was nice and helpful too. If you’re traveling through Latvia I recommend trying some Riga Black Balsam (if you don’t like spiced or mulled wine pass on it). They have different flavors, I’m glad I tried the Black Current. It’s typically served as a shot which can be seen next to the Pear Cider (also great).

    We've been there a few times and also had the show to taste some drinks. The first time we went into the bar we were welcomed very warm and had a great time. The interior looks really special and different to other bars. The bartenders (Oldis and Ronalds) are also really friendly, we had great talks! They have a really nice selection of latvian drinks. I recommend their wine tasting, it was a really fun and interesting experience. We'll definitely go there again!

    Go there just to meet and talk to Uldis the bartender. Such a kind and incredibly wise person with a fascinating story. Chatting with him was genuinely one of the highlights of my time in the Baltics. Oh and the drinks are all local and interesting too - just like Uldis!

  • 5/5 Jessica C. 4 months ago on Google • 88 reviews
    Love that no one asked “do you have a reservation?” the second I walked in. Friendly kind bar service, not pretentious or snooty. But incredible atmosphere and decor. Prices good, although my drink wasn’t particularly strong. Very friendly bartender!

  • 5/5 Tasos M. 3 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    A kind of hidden place with great vibes. It is underground. Most of its drinks are local

  • 2/5 Anna V. 4 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    A tiny place squeezed in a cellar with steep steps. So are the guests - squeezed. Rather dark environment. Imagine you had to leave it quickly in case of emergency.. The place doesn't qualify my safety criteria. The ambiance praised my many here (brick vaults, the rooms are a former map store/ art gallery, if you know Riga) doesn't make up for the inconvenience - every building in Old Riga really has the same ambiance (equals, cellar) 😏

  • 5/5 Ivona P. 3 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Unique bar, reasonable prices (you get what you pay for), perfect service and assistance received from the staff of the bar. The bar suggest local drinks. We definitely recommend, will not regret visiting for sure!

  • 4/5 v33t l. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Good cozy place where you can get together with friends and sit comfortably, the prices of cocktails from about 8 - 9.5 euros, a small assortment of snacks, salted nuts, garlic breadcrumbs and smoked sausages, the bartender made aperol spritz, although that was not on the menu, for which a separate plus, in general I can advise

  • 5/5 Dan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Do you like finding the coolest places when travelling? FOUND IT!⬇️ This place is amazing little find, unbelievable energy in the bricks of this Hidden gem 💎 in the centre of Riga old town latvia 🇱🇻 a must visit, not only is it underneath an historic building and designed amazingly inside but it's stocked with only Latvian alcohol so you can get a feel and a taste of Rigas history...brilliant staff to top it all off a must see place 🙏🏻😇🇱🇻💒

  • 5/5 Kimberley F. 1 year ago on Google
    In 3 days in Riga, this bar was our favourite spot. Hidden gem, it was cosy, the decor was beautiful. All Latvian drinks. Brillaint bar staff who explained all the drinks and gave his recommendations. The challenge for a free shot was fun, met some lovely people. Would highly recommend for your Riga trip. Best bar in Riga.

  • 5/5 Paul W. 1 year ago on Google
    What a find this was. We almost walked right past it but decided to pop our heads in, and ended up staying there for the whole night. Unique surroundings, comfortable chairs, friendly and very skilled bar staff (some of those cocktails were superb), and just an all round cosy and inviting atmosphere. The free shots after we'd paid up were a nice touch too. I can't recommend this place enough.

  • 5/5 dawn of the dread u. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my favourite bar in riga! The cocktails are really nice. Bad boy lemonade was my favourite. An amazing scenic environment to chill and have a quiet drink with someone special. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. This is a must visit!

  • 5/5 Iuliia L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing bar, a real gem in the heart of Riga, you can try here typical local drinks, everything has a high quality 👌🏼 the staff is super knowledgeable, can recommend drink according to your taste and preference, you can also try here standing on nail board (super painful though, but fun) and get a free shot 😀 a must-visit place in Riga 🫶🏽

  • 4/5 Janis L. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting place with an amusing style, but the cocktails felt like those could be better

  • 5/5 Lils 11 months ago on Google
    Such a fun little bar! The bartender was engaging and recommended a variety of Latvian drinks to try!! We had a dance party in back with the smoke machine. Definitely give this bar a visit!!!

  • 5/5 Evangelia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Central location, the staff is always very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing, it really has a medieval setting. Large selection of beers and drinks at a good price. International vibe.

  • 5/5 Ian L. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy small venue with one person working in it on the bar giving the personal & knowledgeable info on drinks. It consists of 3 small cellar type rooms darkly lit & decorated with cheap ornaments & decoration from B & M but it works. It cheap n cheerful in decor but average/expensive in price. It's the atmosphere that makes the price seem worth it. It's quaint, quirky & cosy that would be deemed a health n safety problem in u.k but accepted in Europe. One W.C for the whole venue but Its fine!

  • 5/5 Santeri P. 9 months ago on Google
    Slightly hidden but welcoming little place with amazing atmosphere. Absolutely worth visiting while in Riga!

  • 4/5 Claus M. 8 months ago on Google
    This place has a lot of personality its own unique atmosphere, you can even stand on nails and win a free shot.

  • 5/5 Roby M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great underground place with unique ambience. Serves latvian produced drinks. Barman was extremely friendly. Themed nights are organised on certain days but require booking. A 'must-visit' if you're going to Riga.

  • 5/5 Jane 4 years ago on Google
    Fabulous new bar in Riga, one of the friendliest we visited.

  • 5/5 Ian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Small, super cool underground bar in a very old spot. Serves Latvian drinks only. Not to be missed. Do NOT challenge the bartender to arm wrestle.

  • 5/5 Debora Charlotte von der O. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice owner/bartender. I've rarely experienced this awsome amount of hospitality. Interesting looking location.

  • 5/5 Slavik S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Thanos D. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the best bar we went to in Riga. Great experience, local drinks and hospitality. Uldis is passionate about the bar and shared his knowledge about local spirits. Do try to taste as many as you can. The vibe of the place is excellent and the prices good. We visited both nights of our stay and would go again if we had more time. Thanks for everything Uldis! Thanos & Sofia.

    Great place to hang out Not big but perfect for group of friends. Very good cocktails and shots. The bartender is very helpful I can fully recommend this place

  • 5/5 Fernando Rodríguez H. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to have a beer while you enjoy great rock

  • 5/5 Min34 1 year ago on Google
    Very chill bar. The owner is nice. The main point is that there's only rock music on. If that isn't your thing this bar probably isn't for you. If you do like rock music this is a great place to chill with friends. There's a challenge the owner might give you in exchange for a free drink. Good luck!

  • 5/5 Tero H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice drink bar. Good drinks and music. Excellent White Russian.

  • 5/5 Elise R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was definitely worth the visit. Really cosy little bar with super comfy seating and lush lighting and great ambience. Really friendly bar staff. I'd recommend the pink lady cocktail. Very chilled out :)

  • 5/5 Dominika P. 1 year ago on Google
    the atmosphere was very unique, nothing like I've ever seen before, but it's only added to the charm :) the bartender was the nicest, he kindly explained to us what the concept of the bar was, we had the nicest time! sadly there were no snacks at the time we were there :D but it was an enjoyable experience and I'd definitely recommend to check this place out.

👍👍 Absolutely love this Lido restaurant. Great location in the centre of old town Riga. Nice terrace out the front in the summer months, but it can be hard to find a table sometimes. The food is great value and delicious, especially the small potatoes! And you can pull your own glass of beer or cider....
