Housed in a renovated brick warehouse behind the Central Market, Merlin offers a red semi-circular bar and a summer terrace on the ground floor and a cosier top floor restaurant that includes original ceiling timbers, comfy couches and even a hammock in the corner in case you’ve had one unfiltered Cēsu lager too many. Other Cēsu brews are on draught as well as nearly 50 bottled beers from around the globe. International cuisine from steamed mussels and osso buco to Caesar salads and steaks can also be had here, but bear in mind that side dishes cost extra.
