Ezītis miglā

Named after a famous Soviet-era cartoon and children’s story, The Hedgehog in the Fog is tucked away at the far, quiet end of a popular pub street, which is probably why it seems to cater to locals instead of tourists. Inside you’ll find the oft-repeated home-away-from-home theme where the interior is meant to put you in mind of your living room, with the exception of the strangers drinking on the couch. Beer lovers should give it a pass, but if you’re into ping-pong then order a cocktail and hit the back room. Although it's an odd concept to franchise, their are at least eight of these neighbourhood pubs scattered throughout Riga.
