Distillers Republic

Riga, Latvia

Distillers Republic is a cozy cocktail and craft beer bar in the basement of a historic building in Riga's Old Town, used as a warehouse in the 17th century, with arched brick ceilings, brick walls and oak paneling. It opened as a bar on April 5, 2019, and its distillery started work at the beginning of 2020. The team made its own chairs, stools and tables. The cocktails draw on the gins and rums of its DR Family range: Sweet Contraband mixes Contraband rum with cocoa liqueur, milk and nutmeg, and Holy Sheets pairs Dry as a Nun gin with DR rhubarb liqueur, grapefruit, pineapple and cream. Draft and craft beers round out the list, and dogs are welcome.
