A new bar is born

It is Saturday 1st of May 2010, a day to put into your diary, as once again a bar which may change our lifes has opened. After weeks of preparation ( well it appears 4.5 weeks to be precise) - the newest bar/pub has opened -The KIWI bar - courtesy of A... (Bristolian - King of slightly damaged goods) - F.... (Australian - King of Hostels) and with a great deal of help from I... (Latvian - King of bar creations) - and I have to say after a somewhat brief stay this evening it is looking good !

Wood is the overwhelming feel of the place - but in the best possible taste - a bar that is reminisant of a good if somewhat modern pub ( made apparently by a genius from Jelgava)

More TV's than you could wish for and of course the ever present computerised "Juke Box" - which personally I could do without - but then again I am somewhat of an older generation.

With young S... ( Ukranian/Latvian - a barman of note and still with poor taste in music ) once again back where he belongs - behind a bar - along a group new young Ladies to serve you - C.......( Latvian - possibly the shortest bar lady in Riga) - this place has all the hallmarks of success - Personally I wish it so

Ok they were still getting it ready

First drinks on the bar

Sorry about the quality !!

So to all those involved in this new enterprise I wish them well - and I have a sneeking feeling it will do well.

So to those you may stumble accross this blog - may I recommend that you pay a visit to te KIWI bar - you wil enjoy !!
