MALA Art Space Café
Mākslas telpa MALA
A bohemian art-space café in the former Cēsis Old Brewery, with a vegetarian menu that changes every week and a favourite meeting spot for young locals.
MALA occupies the former Cēsis Old Brewery at Lenču iela 11, combining a café, community space and cultural venue. Each year it hosts more than a hundred concerts, exhibitions and other events in a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. The kitchen serves a small, varied vegan and vegetarian menu that changes weekly, along with local craft beers. Prices are low, making it a good spot for lunch or an evening drink while enjoying live music. No reservations are needed, and it gets especially lively on event nights. Expect to spend about €8–15 per person. It sits right beside Cēsis Castle Park, about a five-minute walk from the Old Town Square.

Wed 19:00–24:00; Thu 12:00–24:00; Fri–Sat 12:00–01:00; Sun 12:00–19:00; closed Mon and Tue
