On the 26th floor of what must be the tallest hotel in the centre of Riga is a bar where the beautiful people hang out. The Skyline bar gives you a great view out over the old town – and also of the city's best looking residents dressed to impress.
When there is snow outside, which appears to be most of the year, it makes for a great backdrop to a few cocktails. Beware though, the hotel was planning to renovate the place this winter, so it might be a fruitless ride up the outside glass lift until April.

(Great place in the summer as well - a bit cooler than the 30+C outside!)
