The Best Bars in Carinthia
When the lights above the bar start to swing, it's showtime again. The mischievousness and the stupendous hand for flavours has long since begun its work. Kan Zuo's away display at Villa Bulfon brings together exotic flavours and witty serves - from smoking with a "dragon" to soap bubbles.
Spirits such as "Louis XIII" are expected in the stylish ambience of the Schlosshotel, but not necessarily the large selection of agave brandies. Daniel Dukic knows how to surprise as a real "sea child", even if it is not a classic drink that he knows best, such as the "Clover Club".
There's plenty on offer from nine in the morning until one o'clock at night: Pub quizzes, concerts, DJ sessions - there's something for everyone. Culinary delights include homemade tarte flambée, dumplings and arancini. There is also a wide range of beer, rum, whisk(e)y and deliciously fruity cocktails (mule!).
A cosy café during the day, where you are spoilt with excellent coffee and cake as well as milkshakes and ice cream, the location transforms into a hip meeting place in the evening. Bagels and antipasti go well with classic and creative cocktails. The chalky gin and tonic or the creamy-fresh "Minato" are marvellous.
With great cocktails, good service and atmospheric music, the atmosphere is fantastic. In addition to classics and new creations such as the refreshing "Mr Espresso", the many non-alcoholic options are also tempting. There are also delicious long drinks and plenty of other spirits.

You can revel in the nostalgic and stylish ambience, as the bar used to be a cinema. The cocktails range from tangy and fruity to classically elegant, with names such as the "Virgin Mojito" with lime juice, mint, soda and bitter lemon that will leave you wanting more. The gastronomic offering is also impressive.
With an ambience like no other the guests range from elegant to casual. Great importance is attached to attention to detail and the products are carefully sourced. The Mediterranean influenced cuisine is fun, and the bar is the place to meet for wine or cocktails such as "Elderberry Gin Fizz" or "Negroni Sbagliato".
The view is spectacular, as is the bar's elegant décor with modern lighting, soft earthy colours and Thonet furniture. The finest spirits are part of the concept, with around 30 types of gin and fruity, fresh, beautifully presented cocktails. Best enjoyed in the sunshine on the marvellous terrace.
In a prime lakeside location, the Jilly family's hideaway with its stylish décor and maritime elements is a popular attraction. Choose from classic cocktails and an impressive selection of sparkling wines and champagnes. The finest summery dishes are paired with a relaxed atmosphere.
Casual place where the party really gets going, and the service is top class.

Florian Wascher has given the family business a complete relaunch, with a great colour scheme and new furniture. The rest remains the same: friendly service, exciting nightlife with DJ nights and creative cocktails.

Timeless aesthetics and a wildly romantic inner courtyard characterise the image of this trendy restaurant. The menu ranges from a large breakfast menu with hummus, eggs, fruit and good coffee to an after-work beer. Operator Stefan Blaschitz organises all kinds of events and live performances by international musicians.
When it comes to drinks, even landlubbers in the harbour head for "Dock 1". Mixological expertise awaits there, with the history of the Manhattan, Negroni and Martini already revealed on the cocktail menu. In addition to the classics (and top espresso!), the in-house creations - such as the "Bunny Mary" or "Birmansi" - also score highly.
An ideal meeting place for socializing after a relaxing day, the cozy lounge offers views of the beautiful surroundings. Guests are treated to hand-crafted fruity cocktails as well as classics like the Cuba Libre and Piña Colada, which are also a feast for the eyes. The whisk(e)y selection is excellent.
The pampering programme starts with an extensive breakfast and throughout the day you can enjoy casual burgers, snacks and fusion cuisine. In addition to flint homemade drinks with fresh passion fruit or elderberry, you can savour Prosecchi and highball favourites such as Moscow Mule or gin and tonic.
Even in the cooler months of the year, it gets warm in the unique premises as the event and ball season opens. The rest of the year is spent at the bar or on the spacious terrace enjoying the cool music - until four in the morning. Fruity and creamy cocktails and long drinks are mixed.
The lifestyle hotel with a private beach is a hive of activity in summer, and the chilled bar with a view of the lake has plenty to offer. It starts with the cool sound with soulful rhythms, continues with the perfect bar crew and finishes with fine spirits and cocktails from classic to creative. The cuisine fulfils every requirement.
The casual bar is the place to be in the evening. The party starts with hot rhythms and a wide variety of cocktails - with old whisk(e)y varieties, prosecco or tequila. The non-alcoholic variants - such as the "Choco Coco" with chocolate cordial, coconut and whipped cream - also taste excellent. The "Bologna Mule" is new.
