Bar XIII

Riga, Latvia

Bar XIII on Strēlnieku iela in Riga dates itself to 2014 and says it has been raising its quality standards ever since. Everything from the cocktails to the interior design has been thought through, and the bar says every detail has a story and a reason to be there. Mixologist Rolands Burtnieks enjoyed the bar so much that he stayed, and he now aims to craft its most perfect menu. The list follows the seasons and current events: the menu, last updated in May 2025, set Yellow Blood, a Bloody Mary twist on Belvedere vodka and yellow tomato juice, beside the Sanskrit, with Tanqueray gin, blueberry jam, elderflower, apple and pineapple. The bar also hosts private events.
