Skyline Bar
Skyline Bar
A visit to the Skyline Bar has become a mandatory stop on the well-travelled tourist routes of Riga and this fact is reflected in its largely foreign clientele. The views are spectacular and the retro interior of shag carpeting, comfortable couches and an abundance of pillows is warm and inviting. Getting one of the coveted seats by the windows is often a chore, but it’s worth the effort. The wait staff can be a little lethargic, but perhaps it’s due to the altitude. Tapas and sandwiches also available.
The Latvian money-crowd and foreign tourists alike frequent this lively cocktail lounge on the 26th floor of Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija (former Reval Hotel Latvia), the main draw of ich is the stunning view over Riga. You’ll need to get there early to grab a window seat because competition is fierce, but if you can snag a choice table then at least you’ll have plenty to look at during the long wait for table service. On Friday and Saturday nights Skyline reaches new heights when DJs arrive to add some spice to the mix. All-in-all a successful attempt to recreate the atmosphere of a hip pre-club bar in Manhattan.

“”TOP” location on the 26th florr of the very good hotel I am staying in. View is fantastic, nice music etc. Prices are “normal” considering the bar is in a 5* hotel. (11 euro for 1 vodka /coke and 1 jack daniels). Nice waitresses, plenty of seats although even on Monday’s it was full! Stop nagging about expensive prices, it is still enormously cheaper then in our own capitals London or Amsterdam…”

“A great place with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Didn’t think it was expensive at all as we visited many other places during our 5 day visit that had higher prices and worse waitresses and atmosphere. Really recommend the Skyline bar if you are out after something special that it can offer.”

“It’s a fantastic place to have a drink (or many!) with friends before hitting the city nightclubs!”

“Fantastic place! The new overlooking the old. Great view. Prices are quite OK (4 Lats = 5.60 Euro for a Midnight Dream cocktail), no entrance fee, great atmosphere with efficient & friendly waitresses.”

If you want to look at Riga from the bird’s eye, this is a place to go.
