"Live Music" Bars in Upper Austria
When the people of Linz talk about exquisite cocktails, they always end up with Claudia Schiemer from the Boiler Room. The bar manager knows how to personalise drinks like no other and creates one signature drink after another: her "Lychee Martini" (with marshmallows) is fantastic!
"Gemma in the Einhorn?" When Linzers talk about where they can have a drink or a glass of bubbly late at night, the bar in Rathausgasse is usually the first choice. Matthias Jantsch, who has turned the Einhorn into a trendy meeting place in the steel city, has played a big part in its popularity.
Cocktail DNA is anchored in the Haneder family. Stefan Haneder, the world champion of world champions, is known in every corner of Austria. His son Mario, trained in Rostock, is following in his footsteps and already knows how to impress with his sensitivity for flavours and flair bartending at a young age.
The Hemingway Bar has been delighting the palates of the Innviertel region for almost an eternity. Founded at the turn of the millennium, it was given a new boost in 2019 when Florian Wisata took over. The Rieder uses his international expertise to spoil guests with premium drinks.
The hotel is known for romantic cosy moments. It is not known exactly how many marriage proposals have been made here, but it is certain that the New York Bar enchants couples and singles alike. Cocktails are available in classic, advanced and - for those who prefer not to drink alcohol - "without".
The cocktail bar scores with exceptional cocktails that can hardly be ordered anywhere else in this preparation and quality. No wonder, Stefan Haneder, world champion in show bartending, and his friend Dušan Janjatović are at the bar. He is a nine-time Croatian national champion and their shaker shows are a delight.
The Schüdlbauer is not just an ordinary bar. Rather, it is an event location, nightlife venue and the "special place" in Braunau. "Special" also because the design in combination with the selection of high-quality cocktails and spirits also attracts guests from other districts.
Sun, summer, lake view - the triad of enjoyment is not a dream, but a reality. In Altmünster on Lake Traunsee, where South American vibes kiss the soul of gourmets. The tapas platter is actually a must to start off in a good mood, whilst gin with house kombucha is the ideal accompaniment for later.
The mix is perfect - both the drinks and the crowd. Freistadt meets here, with people coming to the pub in a good mood and celebrating the evening in style, whether with a long drink, a gin basil smash, draught beer or a hearty burger. According to gastronomic insiders, this is considered the best in town.
Who needs home displays when there's the auswärts.bar, which is something of a home display for the Ried residents. A great selection of cocktails, and absolutely obliging and friendly staff, who also know how to tap a subtle beer from the Ried brewery. So, another home game.
Casual and iconic meeting place for the alternative scene in Linz. Right next to the Danube and the Ars Electronica Centre, strollers and night owls can enjoy a refreshing selection of excellent beers such as Märzen from Weitra, Zwickl from Obertrum or IPA from the "Beer Buddies". Stand-up espresso is available for an unbeatable 1.50 euros.
An enrichment for Laakirchen! In addition to a great breakfast, guests can later enjoy good long drinks and a fine selection of beers, including beers from Bierschmiede vom Attersee. Beer lovers will enjoy the excellent "Meisterstück". All in all: an enjoyable, liquid all-round feel-good programme.
This is where hot rhythms and cool beats meet casual mixed drinks. Textbook party life - right in the centre of Wels. Sometimes it can happen that a bottle of bubbly is decapitated, but with gin and tonic or beer you can also stay in the party mood. Young guests get "energy" mixed with vodka.
