Despite the opening times stated on WhatPub, this "pub" wasn't open when I visited on Wednesday lunchtime. It didn't have opening times displayed so can't correct them either. But it did have signage saying that it's a cocktail bar, and some of the forthcoming events were advertised in English and Lithuanian. The windows all had black-painted boards covering them thus denying any natural light from entering the place - so it does look like a late night cocktail bar.
I probably won't bother to make a return visit.
