The Best Bars in Linz
With the expanded selection of spirits at Michi Kreuzer, the options for pisco sours and the like are also increasing. The hybrid drinks represent the mix of antique furniture and modern mixology: Espresso Martini meets Margarita. For agave lovers, the Smoky Pineapple with Mezcal Shrub is popular.
Claudia Schiemer is the bar manager who makes the steel city shine. Wonderful in-house creations such as "Ed Wood" with fruity strawberry puree and amaretto or the flinty, chocolaty "Original Chili Raspberry Martini" testify to creativity and a passion for craftsmanship far removed from blandness. It's best to try it all.
The golden unicorn in the historic Rathausgasse is now considered a Linz institution and is "the place to be" when it comes to cool drinks, Champagne, a casual atmosphere and a trendy meeting place. Matthias Jantsch has created a real gem in the steel city. If you don't know the Einhorn, you don't know Linz.
The cocktail bar may be tucked away at the end of Klammstraße, but as soon as you enter and try drinks from cocktail titans Stefan Haneder and Dušan Janjatović, you will store the bar in your geographical and sensory memory and probably find it blindfolded next time. Because every visit is worth it.
Carina and Tom Hausknecht have found their happiness - and Linz has found its all-day good mood place. Because the two "rabbits" also stand for breakfast at its best and "day drinking", aka aperitivo. A bar crack like Tom doesn't stop at a selection of spritzes; the "Foamy Negroni" with passion fruit brings another level of excitement.
It is admirable how the "gray mouse" Herrenstraße has become a popular place to go out over the past decade. The Nell family from the Schwarzer Bär, who have created a fort oasis with Rooftop7 above the rooftops of Linz, have played a big part in this: cool location, casual crowd, fine drinks (including 70 gins).
Anyone who goes to Lennox knows what is on offer: exceptional drinks that secure their place in the sensory memory. But what is the secret of the preparation? The best way is to shake your own cocktail. The knowledge - also about non-alcoholic drinks - is taught in the mixing course.
In the south of Linz, you can try your luck on one of the 17 pool tables and sip a fine cocktail (whether you win or not). There are 40 different ones to choose from, always freshly prepared. Once a month, the bar team also mixes two unusual specialties (non-alcoholic and alcoholic).
