Après-ski in a city with no mountain

KuKū is the first après-ski bar in the Baltics, which takes nerve in a city whose highest point is a sand dune. One man hand-built the interior largely out of old skis, and the drinks follow the theme: Bombardino, mountain-hut cocktails, champagne and a long craft beer list.

The joke works because the bar underneath it is decent. Comfort food, loud good music and a crowd that treats an ordinary Tuesday like the last run of the season.

If you like craft beer (and / or après vibes), this bar is a must visit! It’s clear that the owners put a lot of care and effort into this place. The staff are so welcoming, the food is delicious and it’s a great place to try a bunch of local craft beer.

Lovely cosy bar with gorgeous food and amazing selection of local beers (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) so something for everyone. Food menu from next door also available there so whether you are looking for dinner and drinks or just a quick bite this is the place!

KuKū bar is a place with a feeling ✨ You can feel that the owners have put their whole soul there.. every corner is thought out, felt and created by hand. It's not just a place to go and "maybe" come back another time, it's like your own home 🥹 The atmosphere is on a completely different level 😍 warm, a little magical, with its own character. The place where you want to stay longer than planned. And it's that little thing that's not a little thing - the feeling that everything is done with love 🤍
