The Best Bars in Salzburg
Japanese gin and the local Sporer Bitter are no contradiction at Stani Fürst and Attila Szelhoffer. From their own sodas (Melon-Gaudi) to spicy syrups, they are dedicated to expanding their guests' taste buds. From Spritz, rethought, to the Punch Bowl for sharing: Schallmoos is ready!
The creative slogans on the slate at Platzl bring a smile to the faces of guests and passers-by alike. The bar team knows what it's doing - whether classic or more unusual, such as the Old Cuban Champagne cocktail. In summer, the garden opposite the Staatsbrücke is a meeting place for guests and locals alike.
Exceptional, stylish, sophisticated: on the upper floor of the Hangar-7 Gesamtkunstwerk, guests are treated to exclusive cocktails and drinks, such as signatures like the Pink Lady with Hangar-7's own gin and grapefruit liqueur. The selected classics are just as impressive as (sparkling) wine cocktails and virgins.
Amadeus meets agave! Bar manager Andreas Portz shows off his skills with drinks such as the "Strawberry Fields forever" (mezcal and buttermilk!). The pistachio-chocolate-vodka mix "The Mozart Identity" indulges the genius loci of Salzburg. Even society appreciates the bold concept in this dignified space: cocktail festivals all year round!
With a view of the fortress and old town, this is the perfect place to end the day. Among the recommendations are specials such as "Salzburg Lemonade" with bourbon and St. Germain liqueur. The selection of Champagne is particularly large, but you can also choose from the (high-quality) full range of high-proof spirits.
The small, charming vaulted cellar opposite the Pferdeschwemme has become a popular meeting place. The young team around Sebastian Kowatz likes to incorporate regional ingredients into the expertly mixed drinks, which are also visually appealing. Even connoisseurs are impressed by the wines - including advice from the sommelier.
For seven years now, this small, fine bar has been making a splash and serving good drinks under the rocky roof. Mentor and his team add local colour with the Sporer spirits from the nearby Getreidegasse. The living room atmosphere is also more experimental with tea cocktails and the odd classic twist.
A real institution in the city of Mozart. The quaint bar with a medieval flair has many regulars. This is down to the long-standing boss Stillianos "Stelios" Issaris - and the solid quality of the predominantly classic cocktails and drinks. There is also bar food, and on weekends there is dancing in a very small space.
Latin music plays from the speakers and colourful cocktails with a South American focus are served in the glasses: if you're looking for that Latin feeling in Salzburg, you'll find it here. The atmosphere is suitable for an amicable party and the prices for pisco sours & co. are measured. It's mainly younger guests who enjoy this - either directly at the bar or at the bar tables.
From aperitif to digestif - the charming bar exudes the charm of times gone by. Take a seat at the long bar or on the upholstered furniture. Classic and Caribbean-inspired cocktails dominate the menu. The sparkling versions are also very good, such as the Moulin Rouge with apricot brandy, gin and Champagne.
The Flip is an evergreen on the Salzburg scene. Students crowd into the small bar alongside tourists and locals. Not only are the guests diverse, but so are the cocktails - from Espresso Martini to "Pirate's Passion" with Captain Morgan and Passoã to the "Crazy Cherry" with gin and brandy.
Under the blue sky: in the panorama restaurant and bar of the hotel on the outskirts of the city, you are virtually at eye level with the Salzburg mountains. The glasses are mainly filled with all-time classics - from Negroni to Cosmopolitan - but also finely mixed exotics. There is a good selection of non-alcoholic cocktails and a separate wine list.
Daimler's on Giselakai, is an institution in Mozart’s city of Salzburg. The grill and bar concept has worked for many years - enjoy a burger in the grill and then turn night into day in the bar. The bar team supports you with fine drinks à la "Vodka Wellness" or "London Mule". Happy hour until 11 pm.
The cocktail shaker has been held high at Priesterhausgasse 14 for many years. The bar's relaxed charm has always attracted students, but older students also feel at home here. The selection of drinks is extensive, the cocktails are well mixed and the prices are low by Mozartstadt standards.
