It is not just a bar. It is a pleasant place with high quality service, amazing views and great atmosphere. Loved every second of it.
We have been here last night and just loved the atmosphere. The Skyline bar is very classy and has an awesome view over the city. You don't pay an entrance fee before 21.00 hrs, after that it's €3. You can order a cocktail around €8,50 (cheapest €6,50). Cheese platter was nice, but not too special.
I was taken to the skyline bar by a friend who lives here in Riga, as it was suppose to be a place with a fantastic view, including the ride on the lift.The drinks were very tasteful and not that pricey. The interior was like most hotel bars, very classy and international. You can have your drinks in many different places in Riga, but not a place with such a view. I would recommend that you get a table at the windows so you really can enjoy the views while sipping at your drink. Try to get there on a sunny day, since there is a much better view when there are no clouds.
A glass lift, to the right of the hotel reception takes you express to the 26th floor.On entry you’re greeted by lovely open area with mood lighting, comfy sofas, drapes, and modern lounge music.Grab a table by a window, if you can and wait for a waitress.We arrived just after 5pm for the happy hour, which seemed to not be on that day.Toilets were really clean.At around €10 per cocktail, it’s not the cheapest, but even if you only have one, sit back and soak up the view for half an hour - Recommended.
We twice visited the skyline bar during our Riga city break. The drinks were reasonably priced considering the spectacular views across the whole city. At 4.20 Euro for a beer and most cocktails around 7.50 Euro there are bound to be cheaper places to drink but having navigated your way around the streets of a Riga, it was nice to see them from above. Though there was a bit of a scrum for window side seats, patience or luck will ensure you get a good view across the city. Sunset snaps looked great and worth the 26 story elevator ride.
This place is amazing! It's only open from 5pm though - we turned up at 3 and ended up going for a wander as it wasn't open yet.The cocktails are delicious and not too expensive (averaging maybe 8-9 euro) but it's well worth the splurge anyway. Try the mojitos - they are excellent.Be sure to arrive early so you can bag a seat by the window - the chairs swivel around so you can turn and sit and stare at the city and watch the sun go down. A truly spectacular place.
top location, nice drinks & cocktails, awesome view from 26th floor over the city. nice and friendly staff, music not too loud, perfect!
A cool place to take a couple of drinks.The view is absloutely worth it.The waitresses could have been a litte more attentive, but other than that is is a place worth visiting.Prices are not to bad.
We went here after looking at reviews on trip advisor it was pretty full and it was a Sunday the dj was really good and the people and staff were all friendly the atmosphere was really good and the cocktails are even better :) enjoy!
I visited Skyline bar with my partner and with our friends in March while coming to Riga for a day. We loved the view and the atmosphere. Drinks were served quickly and the service was polite(a little smile from the waitress would have made our experience super). We will definitely return.
