What are your favourite bars in Riga? Not clubs but bars.

I want to know for future reference, last time I was there I couldnt find anything good....

Ķiploku krogs (garlic pub), Ala folk bar, Balzāmbārs.

Ha. Krogs is 'pub' in Latvian. Funny. Kroeg is 'pub' in Dutch.

Shows that we have a lot of borrowed words from Germans I guess :)

Probably some old-fashioned German word or some local Baltic German. I never heard a German use that word. They usually say 'Kneipe'.

EDIT: It appears that in Northern Germany they also say 'Krug'.

It's krog in swedish too.
