Lounge Bars in Lower Austria
For bar professional and former graphic designer Jakob "Jay" Vehovar, mixing is art and the glass is a canvas for creativity. He brings the flavours into perfect balance with a keen instinct. He demonstrates this with "Diplomatico Pianos" (rosemary cordial, grape juice, red wine, hazelnut espuma). Fresh standards: Mojitos and Paloma.
Chef Roland always comes up with gastronomic ideas, with the summer hit "Wagyu Burger" just one example. When it comes to cocktails, the desired flavour quickly provides orientation - this helps in view of the variety that prevails with "Coladas" or gin specials. Indispensable for whisky fans: "Sandy Collins".
A cocktail or a freshly tapped Guinness after (new!) fine dining? Yes! The Irish Bar offers the perfect setting: the imposing 30-metre-long solid wood bar looks almost like something out of a film - it's a great place to sit down at the bar. Whisk(e)y fans can enjoy bourbon, scotch, Irish or even Waldviertel spirits.
These former riding stables are now buzzing with nightlife. The modern bar rooms within the historic walls are usually full, as the XO's reputation precedes it. The guest favourite is the Long Island Iced Tea, which is mixed here in countless variations. The cosy guest garden is perfect for balmy summer nights.
When dusk falls, the café comes to life: Live events and wine tastings liven up the stylish bar. Excellent cocktails, drinks and fine wines, complemented by antipasti, snacks and bar food, invite connoisseurs and party-goers alike. Pure atmosphere and pure "That's life!" feeling!
