Modern place with photos of hop bines as wallpaper, and lots of dark wood. Brightly lit, and perhaps a bit sterile-looking. The beer selection is nice, and there’s a good number of farmhouse ales on. Service was English-speaking and helpful. Mixed crowd.

Slightly clinical atmosphere - clean, and light, and plenty of right angles. But not unpleasant, we happily sipped our beers without care here. The wall mural of the hopbines is a great idea - worth an extra point for just being so beery! Huge selection of taps, maybe 20 Lithuanian beers, probably most of them live (gyvas). Many of them little guys and well worth hunting out. Food is salty nibbles - absolutely stunning biltong-style jerked meat and spicy sausages. Damn tasty, and fortified us during our walk to Alaus Namai. Everything can be put in a bottle for take-home. Friendly staff, even though his English wasn’t brilliant. E.g. when he saw us both drinking the light beer having made no impact on the dark beer, he asked if there was a problem with the dark beer - of course there wasn’t, we were just serialising the two! For tap beers, for us this is our #1 target for our next trip, as Alaus Namai and Snekutis don’t change menu quickly enough for there to be many new beers, and this guy was carrying plenty of winners. I understand there are many Alynas outlets in Lithuania now, probably they’re all worth visiting. Browse around the website for more info on those.
