The interior is decorated with sports memorabilia, beer slogans, and posters that add a touch of Latvian culture to the walls, hugged by wooden frames.

It is an experience that takes you back many decades. You can sit in an old-school bus and drive through the Latvian countryside or ring up a soviet-era phone booth to listen to anecdotes.

The layered brick walls, shelves, and ceiling are painted white, giving the interior a contemporary, modern feel. One which invokes a sense of business and a desire to get things done.
