This was the highlight of my day in Riga! Unbeatable view, great cocktails and live music. Try to get there before sunset or it might be hard to find a window seat.

Nice view. The food was ok minus. Very touristic. Main reason to get here is the view.

The quality of the cocktails is still excellent. The views can't be taken away and if you have not been to this place, they alone are worth coming for.

However this place is missing one key element - service. It used to have it 5 to 8 years ago, when the waitresses would eagerly scan the floor for paying customers to take orders, now you have to wait even at the bar, just to be acknowledged. During my last visit I witnessed the barman bark something along the lines of "mate! stop complaining..." at a group of customers for jokingly discussing the 10min + delay in getting served between themselves. There were 4 people behind the bar, all were looking down/sideways or anywhere else but the 20 to 30 people standing next to the bar to place an order. I would recommend for the management to retrain the staff on customer service standards and reset the expectations.

Like many good businesses, the Skyline bar has become complacent in relying on the views and a steady stream of tourists to sell cocktails. The customer base is over 90% tourist skewed to middle aged family's with children and pensioners.

After patronising this bar for close to 10 years on my visits to Latvia, I don't think I would return.
