"Cold dishes" Bars in Salzburg
With Stani Fürst at the shaker, the motto in the small bar of the Michelin-starred restaurant is quickly realised: "Sen(n)sational cocktails". The bar manager composes them in such a way that they tickle all the senses. At the same time, two dozen open wines are on offer, curated by Thomas Kracher. In the industrial-chic ambience, both options lead to enjoyment.
The bar menu in the hotel bar inspires with its ingenuity every year. This time, Andreas Portz has gone intergalactic. "Saturn" has an espuma cap, the "Venus" is a highball and all short drink fans should order "Uranus". The playful approach in a dignified ambience will appeal to everyone.
If you have a gourmet temple as a neighbour, you naturally have to keep up with the mixology - so it's no wonder that classics and signature drinks always come across perfectly: The "Clarified Colada" reveals the craftsmanship behind the bar, while the "Silk Road" with curry gin and kalamansi is a testament to flavour.
Put your head down and head through the small door into the vaulted cellar in a prime city centre location: with its stylish interior, it is often booked for events or wine tastings, but the cocktail and wine selection is also impressive and ideal for OF work thanks to its creative variety.
The stone terrace is one of the most beautiful spots in the city, and not just thanks to its robust view of the fortress - the sundowner here certainly lives up to its name and is sometimes accompanied by DJs. There's also something going on in the glasses: perfectly executed cocktails, long drinks and highballs await. Top snacks!
It's not just festival-goers who get their dose of luxurious laissez-faire in the elegant bar. In addition to underrated classics from Cosmo to Manhattan, the bar also likes to mix things up with fizzy drinks. The Caribbean-fruity drinks of the Piña Colada variety provide a pinch of holiday mood, and the selection of spirits is also just right.
The sea of rooftops of the old town in front, the fortress behind: the view through the floor-to-ceiling glass fronts or from the terrace is a delight for visitors and locals alike. To help you decide, the cocktails are categorised according to taste - from "Fresh" and "Spicy" to "Strong" or "Fruity", everything is available.
Whether in the beautiful vaulted cellar, in the cosy parlours or in the beautiful old town garden - you can enjoy not only Austrian cuisine with international flavours, but also all kinds of liquids: the menu includes selected wines, homemade lemonades and evergreens from Negroni to Mojito.
When piña colada or caipirinha are among the bestsellers, the holiday mood reigns high up on the hotel terrace. Non-alcoholic Spritz and jumbo prawns also await in the relaxed surroundings of the hotel bar, which can be seen from afar. The hotel's true speciality: sundowners with a view of Salzburg.
The chic interior in the old vaults exudes style and cosiness thanks to the generous use of wood, and the menu is dominated by Asian flavours: those who like it pure can choose from the sake selection; fans of fruity flavours can sip the "Lychee Collins"; the "Tokyo Sour" owes its kick to the ginger-turmeric cordial.
In the pretty location with vintage accents, the cooker and oven glow from morning to night, and the liquid accompaniment is a true cross-section of bar culture: homemade lemonades and the "Spritz" varieties, from Limoncello to "Hugo" are represented, as well as various gin and tonic combinations and tried and tested evergreens.
