Juusu Baars

Erik Ozollapa linking up with TV chef Lauris Barakauskis at Juusu the Bar, the continuation of Juusu restaurant, is straight-up Riga energy in a glass. This spot flips Latvian vibes into cocktails that actually hit right, not just look pretty. Old world classics get a cheeky local remix, like the Naughty Folk Girl (dirty martini twisted with salty cucumber, dill, and Black Balsam). Check out Quince Sour, Camomile Whiskey Tea, and silky milk-washed drinks; playful but dialed in. Low ABV and no-booze options still bring flavour, no sad mocktails. Small Latvian-minded snacks to share. VIP lounge and sculptures cast from local girls’ breasts. Whole place feels like a sexy little lounge where you sip, vibe, and fall in love with Latvia one drink at a time.
