Folkklubs ALA Pagrabs. Riga, Latvia. A gigantic underground bar.

I've been to that bar.

My favorite in Riga was Labietis Brew Pub about a 20-30 minute walk from the city center. It was behind an old crumbling gothic looking gate...We met these 2 swedes at another beer place and they asked if we wanted to go with them to Labietis. When we got to that gate I was feeling a little Stieg Larson crap was about to go down.



Turned out great! Ha! It was back in this courtyard with old buildings around it.





The Owner/Brewer started a new batch about 11pm that night. Guy was about 6'-6" tall.
