  1. Gimlet Nordic Cocktail Bar
    Cocktail Bar

    Gimlet Nordic Cocktail Bar

    Gimlet is a Nordic cocktail bar on Baznīcas iela in central Riga that builds its drinks from ingredients grown around the Baltic Sea, using quince and rhubarb in place of tropical fruit. The team makes its own kombuchas, cordials, syrups and shrubs, ferments some ingredients and uses slow frozen clear block ice. The room is kept ascetic and minimal in a Nordic style, and the menu changes with the seasons.

    Bar Six

    Bar Six is a speakeasy cocktail bar at Ģertrūdes iela 14 in Riga, opened in 2017 by two bartenders. Guests look for the lantern by the black gate and press 6 on the intercom to be let in; the space was once a video game shop and keeps its original signboard. The menu keeps drinks simple and balanced, with local ingredients and a range of spirits, and booking ahead is recommended.
