"Outdoor Dining Area" Bars in Vienna
There are many details that give away the quality even before the first sip. Fine wood, jazzy music and a cocktail menu that lists punch bowls as a matter of course. Heinz Kaiser and his team know all about "liquid intake" in both large and small doses. They're also great with rum, as in the "Kaiserin".
The strong team performance under the aegis of Philipp Ernst is constantly developing the bar further. The greeting from the old homeland, Signatures with exclusively Styrian ingredients, was the best proof of this. And the now iconic espumas are still a favourite in cocktail Vienna. In short: a "modern classic".
The bar menu is a colourful carousel, with two creative fire spirits behind it, Laura Peez and Sigi Schot. In addition, there are signature cocktails from the entire team, often with pop-cultural mischief or art-historical allusions as garnish. An open, inclusive and, above all, damn good place to drink.
The cocktails are at least as impressive as the glamorous ambience of the "D" aka "Discovery" bar. The high quality and professional bartenders turn every signature drink into the perfect guest experience. One of the flavour highlights: "Isla Verde" with rum, avocado, coconut, wasabi and whey.
A few steps separate the Lände from the Land of Marco. Because different rules apply here. You are an accomplice to the night and enjoy refreshments mixed with US whiskey. LP music plays from hidden speakers while someone else enjoys their first "Thai massage".
The restaurant and bar at this top Italian restaurant and trendy meeting place share a basic concept: quality down to the last detail. Every cocktail is therefore finely tuned, every ingredient well thought out. Non-alcoholic is now also a top priority - the "Garden Sprizz" with flint tea, cucumber, mint and cranberry is even perfect for lunch.
The anarchy of the eternal children is in charge here. But the bar, which is based on natural ingredients - preserved in the sweat of the summer season - is not just a fun project. The fun of deep piling - outstanding flavours, simple appearance - combines cuisine and cocktails. And then there's the selection of natural wines ...
These mixologists are true masters of their trade and are among the most renowned in the city. With creativity and precision, they experiment with ingredients, flavours and techniques to create something unique. Even classics succeed flawlessly; the Negroni, to name one example, impresses with its perfect balance.
The Hawaiian shirts of Arik and Matty Vinnitski's team are colourful, but so is the cocktail menu - and both go well with the colourful tiki mugs made in-house. The cheerful world of strong rum cocktails with a Polynesian flavour has clearly found its Viennese home: Zombie, Mai Tai ... it's all here!
High above the city the sunsets behind the rooftop bar of The Ritz-Carlton where Vienna provides wow moments. A glass of Perrier-Jouët is the ideal sundowner. The selection is diverse and, true to the hotel's reputation, always extravagant, luxurious, and of the highest quality. The service on the rooftop is also top-notch.
It turned out exactly as Peter Friese had dreamed. The diversity of the Italian gastronomic experience in democratic form came to Vienna. Panini and small pasta dishes, but also "Garibaldi" and "Sarti Spritz". An orange slice served in a tumbler accompanied by the signature card of David Penker's team. Much love!
A legend with an enveloping atmosphere far removed from everyday life. This is how the nucleus of the Viennese bar miracle presents itself today. With rum and whisk(e)y drinks, here you have a final boss and Elysium in one. The richly stocked rarities corner is best described with a song by the pillar saint Dean Martin. "That's Amore"!
The stylish day bar with intimate seating niches is ideal for a short break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Start with an aperitif while day drinking, then move on to creative cocktails. The bar crew know their trade and are always picking up on trends. The gin-based "Pistachio Fizz" is as good as it sounds.
This bar belongs on every bucket list for fans of sophisticated drinks culture. Exclusive bar atmosphere, elegant appearance and quality in perfection. The menu impresses with fine spirits and sophisticated creations. If you like it classic, a "Kir Royal" is the perfect choice - timeless and in keeping with the ambience.
This is exactly what Vienna has been missing. Here, cocktail pairing becomes an art: drinks and food complement each other perfectly and enhance each other's flavours. The kitchen and bar are an unbeatable team and surprise with creations such as a "pea pisco sour". The non-alcoholic selection is also a real taste sensation.
The bar on the Vienna and at the same time of the world: "Vienna in 6 Sips" tells the story of the city in a glass, while "Cocktail Roulette" leaves everything to the bartender's intuition. Or you can stick to the esteemed signature "Der Lvdwig" - a brilliant composition of Diplomatico Exclusiva, tonka bean and tamarind.
The neighbourhood in which the "Truth&Dare" branch is located owes its name to the fireworks manufacturer Stuwer. Unlike the godfather, who was often tricked by the rain, people here love liquids: from perfectly chilled beer to the botanical delicacies that Mike van Bruggen and Lukas Werle prefer to flavour their cocktails with.
The Luster likes to set Asian accents when it comes to cocktail culture. Experimental mixes made from unusual ingredients take you into new worlds of flavour in a casual atmosphere. The "Shrooming", for example, combines Japanese gin, shōchū, roasted rice and shiitake to create a fascinating flavour adventure.
The former wine bar is now expertly mixed under mum's watchful eye, with creativity and a new take on classics: the "Bloody BBQ Mary" has even more anti-hangover certain ageing potential thanks to smoked flavours. And Roko Paric's "Parmesan Espressotini" tastes more harmonious than you might think.
In the Instagram-ready bar, the glasses are filled differently depending on the season. But there are always a few standards - after all, it's never too late for a "Horse's Neck". When it comes to signatures, it's flavour and flavour only that counts: in the "Kracherl Royal", Uhudler vermouth meets gin, plum, lemon and Champagne.
