Reviews
There was little to no explanation of the limited tea selection (only six kinds), and our empty glasses and cups were often ignored. It was hard to get anyone’s attention as there were only two waitresses on the floor. The one serving our table, an older staff member, was quite cold at first (though she did warm up later), while the younger waitress, who seemed more friendly, was assigned to a different section.
The food was a mixed bag. The three-tiered stand featured scones, savouries, and sweets. The scones weren’t great and didn’t resemble traditional English ones, nor did they have clotted cream. The savouries had a clear Swedish influence; the shrimp sandwich was a highlight, but the meringue with duck liver mousse and jelly was a textural and flavour mismatch. The sweets were fine but unremarkable.
On the positive side, the setting was pleasant, with a good view from the 12th floor and a nice, busy but not overcrowded atmosphere.
Ultimately, the service really let the experience down. I cannot recommend this afternoon tea. In fact, unless you’re in Stockholm, you’re probably better off skipping the afternoon tea concept here entirely and spending your money on an excellent restaurant meal instead.
Once seated, we were treated to an absolutely incredible view of the city. The Skybar is perched high enough that you get a panoramic sweep of Gothenburg’s rooftops and waterfront—a perfect backdrop as the city lights start to glow after dark. It’s elegant without being pretentious, which matched the vibe of our group perfectly.
The drinks themselves were excellent. The cocktail list was well-balanced between classic and inventive, and everything we ordered was made with care and precision. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and there was an attention to detail that elevated the entire experience. We stayed longer than we’d planned, just enjoying the view, conversation, and atmosphere.
What stood out most, though, was the staff’s hospitality. Even on a busy night, they made us feel welcome and unrushed. If you’re staying at Riverton or simply want a beautiful place to end your evening in Gothenburg, the Skybar is absolutely worth it.
Service was magnificent, we had the afternoon tea and it was superb along with some nice fizz
Views along the river were good considering the poor weather conditions outside.
We had a brilliant afternoon
