Drinks & Nightlife
This is must place to go when you in Riga. Lots of locals go, tourists go - so in the end its perfect mix. I think Ala is as close as its gets when people ask for something traditional - place is located in basement, dimmed lights, candles, huge local beer selection, latvian style kitchen (lots of potatoes lol and huge portions - you might as how come we stay that slim? :D I know, I know - its secret !!! hahah) And the best thing about this place - maybe except mondays, but they are always busy - either its traditional dance evening, or karaoke, live music or concert - there is always something happening in the evenings.

Our history hasnt been easy, so for latvian monument of freedom is something saint. It was restored only by peoples donation, it is insured for 1 million euros and when you are in Riga you definitely have to say hi to MILDA (Thats ladies name holding stars)
