"Sunday Opening" Bars in Tyrol
You wouldn't immediately recognise from the Tyrolean appearance that one of the most unusual bars in the country is waiting behind. Even the "Zwetschken Bellini" or the "Rote Bete Colada" - as good as they are - do not prepare you for Andi Hotter's treasure: the gigantic realm of spirits in which he masterfully navigates.
The location in the old stone tunnel alone - it is 90 metres deep in the fortress hill - makes the 1930 a must-go. Once here, it's all about the enormous selection of gins from all over the world - it's even listed in the Guinness Book of Records. An absolute experience with speakeasy character!
"Life is golden", according to this motto and full of great jazz club inspiration, the American Bar at the Grand Tirolia inspires not only with very well executed drinks and the large selection of whisk(e)y, tequila and co. Live performances by young artists invite you to listen, swing and enthuse - and to dance.
The bar at MalisGarten promises sensory flavour highlights, and we mean it. With innovative flavour sprays, you can track down the taste of the drink, making it easier to choose between the creative mixes. A cosy, sophisticated atmosphere, cocktail courses and countless "Spritz" variations for aperitifs!
A "hotel bar" can be this colourful! The relaxed inner courtyard sets the vibes, while the female bar team provides humour right from the drink names. "Smoking Skeleton" or "Adults only" are simply a must-try. The "flavoured popcorn" has long been a house classic. The agave trend is catered for by "Sonne & Leben", complete with Tajin seasoning.
The talented bar team led by Yannik Seeber is bringing new attention to the rooftop bar. Besides the unbeatable party atmosphere the drinks also take centre stage. With creations like the "Bloody Hell" (a potent tequila shot!) and even mocktails, they've got a lot to offer. This keeps them on track with their motto "We groove the roof!"
A sardine bar? That's right, Franz-Josef Perauer was so taken with the colourful cans of high-class fish that he designed his bar around them. Champagne, wines and ambitious drinks (such as the "Aquavit Manhattan" with kirsch and orange zest) are served over the counter. Cool hotspot in Mayrhofen.
Gin is a passion at Incontro. The selection is huge and the rest of the range and the team's mixology skills are also impressive. Guest bartenders are often behind the bar in the great atmosphere and it's fun to enjoy the sun in the afternoon or end the night here.
A bar lounge that would also suit the seaside, here above the rooftops of Innsbruck with a view of the mountains and the sunset. The American Bar offers a full range of classic drinks, such as the Bellini Royal with Champagne, but also stylishly serves creative and non-alcoholic options.
The queues at the weekend are the first sign of the hotel's special bar atmosphere. Everyone heads upstairs because André, a cheerful Brazilian, warms Tyrolean hearts. With skilful craftsmanship and a passion for his new love, agave distillates. But a cachaça always works too.
With the Lienz Dolomites and the Isel right on the doorstep the terrace and saloon bar have a very special location. The fin-de-siècle reminiscences range from the furnishings to the stylish service. The perfect ambience for sipping whiskey sour or Champagne in an upholstered armchair and forgetting the time.
The cosy, upscale Marent is a hotel for gastronomic enthusiasts - and the bar is no exception. Hotel guests and locals meet by the open fireplace and on the terrace over negronis or non-alcoholic drinks, a beer or the large selection of spirits. Not to forget the hot dogs and other snacks too.
It's not just the panorama that is popular here in the lounge of the Cubo Sport & Art Hotel - the modern bar also has many fans. Classic cocktails and creative drinks such as the "Cheesecake" with limoncello, cream, vanilla and lemon are served. Also: homemade lemonades as well as no- and low-alcohol drinks.
The Luis Trenker-inspired ambience gives it away - apart from that, when savouring the international cuisine, you might forget that you're in Austria. A glass of Champagne goes well with spicy edamame, a glass of wine with sushi and perhaps a gin and tonic with a wide variety of Thai curries.
Sample high proof drinks at the long bar counter, dine in the cool modern ambience, or browse through the wine selection and meet friends. B3 is a versatile venue for celebrating and stopping off. Classic drinks such as Cosmopolitan and Long Island Ice Tea are served at the bar, accompanied by steaks and Caesar salads.
A colourful world of modern furniture, lots of plants and neon installations and, above all, lots of relaxed lifestyle in the flat loft: Botanik takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to everything, true to the motto "I'm Tarzan, you're beautiful". Creative drinks such as "Coco Unicorn" meet classics, party people and the lifestyle hungry.
The pizzeria is all about aperitif culture. It's easy to forget that you were actually here for the delicious pizza and pasta. How about an "Italian Paloma" with Campari, fresh grapefruit juice and lemonade after work on Piazza Bolzano, for example? Pleasant: lots of great non-alcoholic alternatives.
The crowd, staff, drinks and snacks at Moustache are at least as cool as the mix of upholstered armchairs and vaulted charm. The "Phat Philly Sandwich" is accompanied by mules, sours or a "Fig Margarita". Shots, frizzantes and non-alcoholics are also a must. Sundays: "Loaded Waffles" to combat any hangovers.
If you want to enjoy a drink with a fantastic view and linger in a modern alpine ambience, the 1830 is the right place for you. Emperor Franz Josef lends his year of birth to the name of the spectacular sky bar in Kufstein's old town. Creative and classic drinks with high-quality spirits, including the bar's own gin!
The Pure is known for its parties and events - the terrace is sometimes used for a Ballermann party or to tempt guests with street food and matching drinks. But even during normal operation, it's worth stopping on the terrace for a holiday atmosphere or a nightcap at the bar from the large selection of spirits.
