After presiding over a staple of the Washington DC nightlife scene for several years, American-Latvian Kristaps Krēsliņš has opened yet another Pharmacy Bar, but this time in the Latvian capital. Medieval brick walls, medicinal tinctures and scales, tables embedded with capsules and pills and painted silhouettes of old-fashioned bottles on two floors are a clever combination of old and new and the perfect backdrop for a night of cocktails and beers. The bar also provides a smoking courtyard, summer terrace and a free CD jukebox that offers anything from Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones to the Sex Pistols and Metallica.

  Great little spot for a beer or strong mixed drink at reasonable prices. Owner is a nice guy from the US who is happy to have you visit. Cool tunes on the jukebox.

  I love it so much I would like to say "don't go there" so I can keep it to myself, but THIS PLACE ROCKS. If you have to pick one bar to visit in Riga - this is it!!!!!
