"Live Music" Bars in Vienna
Discover the most unusual cocktails and play music bingo at the same time? At Kan Zuo, this is no contradiction. The atmosphere can be loud, the menu must be witty and there has been no shortage of exquisite creations since this wonderland opened its doors almost 20 years ago. Bob Dylan would say: "Forever young"!
The guiding theme, not to say the guiding index, has remained the same under the new bar team: Financial topics are creatively translated into seasonal cocktail menus - most recently with the five investor types, for example. "Innovation", "Independence" and "Opportunities" are not just capitalised as cocktail names. Great bar food!
The anarchy of the eternal children is in charge here. But the bar, which is based on natural ingredients - preserved in the sweat of the summer season - is not just a fun project. The fun of deep piling - outstanding flavours, simple appearance - combines cuisine and cocktails. And then there's the selection of natural wines ...
With Gerhard Wanderer, a lifetime's work is enough to continue to attract the true connoisseurs into the semi-darkness of a genuine American bar. There, he measures the guests' wishes and expertly selects the ideal answer from the pool of (often dark) spirits. Rare goodness.
The bar on the Vienna and at the same time of the world: "Vienna in 6 Sips" tells the story of the city in a glass, while "Cocktail Roulette" leaves everything to the bartender's intuition. Or you can stick to the esteemed signature "Der Lvdwig" - a brilliant composition of Diplomatico Exclusiva, tonka bean and tamarind.
The Luster likes to set Asian accents when it comes to cocktail culture. Experimental mixes made from unusual ingredients take you into new worlds of flavour in a casual atmosphere. The "Shrooming", for example, combines Japanese gin, shōchū, roasted rice and shiitake to create a fascinating flavour adventure.
There can only be one! Since 1908, the "Loos" has stood for an authentic Viennese culture of enjoyment and that's why Marianne Kohn can count on her regulars to be able to order a drink like the "De Rigueur" without making a mistake. The hostess herself also likes to recommend "extended" Champagne. Just classy, Oida!
You often hear a "wow" from guests when they enter the rooftop bar! Not least because of the unique view and ambience, it is one of the most popular bars in the city. The signature cocktail "Passionato Basil Smash" with passionfruit espuma is the icing on the cake of this popular bar favourite. Top quality!
In the afternoon, the daytime coffee bar is transformed into a casual after-work hotspot. Then, in the spirit of the globe-trotting namesake, the drinks are mixed around the world: from a "Trieste" with Ramazotti, grape and lavender to the faraway "Tahiti" with guava and homemade cordial.
A piece of Viennese bar culture lives on with the old furniture of the legendary Mounier Bar and is presented in a modern way. The aquarium is undoubtedly the eye-catcher and has been a trademark for decades. During the regular jazz evenings, the seats at the bar are highly coveted, and the cocktail menu offers all the classics.
Fabio Oliveira and "Mokte" Capilla (also known from Dino's) are all about liquid joie de vivre, fuelled by the cocktail traditions of Mexico and Portugal. Where catchers used to rule, agave drinks now compete with small snacks. It's best to give the team complete freedom. Salud or bom proveito!
Top Greek mixologist Konstantinos Gouroutidis brings a creative mind and ambitious cocktail virtuoso to the bar. They also like to party high above the rooftops of Vienna. At the "Sip the Sunset" parties, people meet up after work to round off the day with enjoyment and music.
At the 25hours Hotel near the MuseumsQuartier, Vienna's lively art hotspot, the deliberately eclectic interior reflects the creative spirit. The drinks are also exciting: gin and tonic in many variations - such as the "Bloody Beetroot" with beetroot cordial or the "Kiiro" with lemon curd and yuzu cello.
The team around bar manager William is going from strength to strength. While there are even third-generation guests who enjoy their bottle of Champagne here, the crew also manages to inspire courage for mixed drinks. The ambience of this grande dame is beyond reproach anyway - velvety and mysterious, please drop in.
The fact that the Viennese love day drinking is down to the fantastic location, which can now be used all year round. The fact that it's not just a Spritz is down to the skill of Georgios Papanidis. He uses mastiha, chilli and the odd espuma for his signature drinks with a view of the cathedral.
The ambience of the luxury hotel is hard to put into words; you simply have to experience the feeling of extravagance. The bartenders also capture this magic in a glass: with rare vintage Champagne and "Imperial" cocktails. The "Sisi Stars" with passion fruit, chilli and vanilla is as sparkling as the Imperial era.
The oriental shisha bar extends over three rooms and invites you to relax with water pipes and fine cocktails. The best place to start is at happy hour! Whether flint, fruity or smoky - you're sure to find what you're looking for. The refreshingly sweet and tangy "Jacky & Honey" with whiskey, lemon and honey was a winner.
A pioneering concept that cleverly combines the hotel and business world: Living and working in a hybrid. The top floor is a meeting place for co-working and the bar invites you to enjoy the perfect work-life balance afterwards. The "Passionfruit Martini" is the perfect sundowner. Urban lifestyle under one roof!
If these wicked walls could talk, you would simply retreat into a corner with one of the fine drinks and listen. But instead, the party here is lively and the bar ensures that the party never ends. They are particularly good at shots, such as the lemony "Baby Minions".
The ambience and the equally appealing drinks are more than worthy of the "Steigenberger" name. The cocktails are suitably elegant, but with homemade syrups and essences, they are keen to experiment. One of the signatures is the "Highdudler" with gin, lemon, raspberry, basil and Almdudler.
