What pubs are to the British and bistros are to the French, pubs are to the Viennese. Vienna is bursting with top-class pub culture, inviting you to enjoy a schnitzel and freshly tapped Krügerl on every corner of the city. You can find the best pubs in the 8th district in this list.

The old-fashioned charm of the corner house comes from the wood paneling and the rustic ambience, but also from the plates, where goulash, creamed veal and numerous other delicacies are served.
