Restoration Without Insurance

Bar owner Miks Galvanovskis said the fire in April devastated almost the entire entertainment venue in Old Riga. Despite having no insurance, he decided to invest his own savings and time to rebuild. After two months, one week, and two days, the doors are open again.

Community Support

Galvanovskis emphasized that the reopening would not have been possible without the help of others. People contributed financially and with labor, helping to overcome the losses and return to normal operations.

A Fresh Start

«The Sinners Bar» is now welcoming guests again, and the owner hopes the tragedy of the fire is behind them. The bar has been restored with the aim of preserving its previous atmosphere, though some interior elements have been changed. Galvanovskis thanked everyone who supported the restoration and invites visitors to enjoy the renewed venue.
