The Best Bars in Linz
The unofficial embassy of the Black Forest Gin also has the monkey in its coat of arms - and the mischief often comes through in Jan Masek and Michael Kreuzer's drinks. For example, when "Greek wine" is served. The flair of the old building is history: Now, in the lofty heights, the fun-loving vivid sets the tone.
When the people of Linz talk about exquisite cocktails, they always end up with Claudia Schiemer from the Boiler Room. The bar manager knows how to personalise drinks like no other and creates one signature drink after another: her "Lychee Martini" (with marshmallows) is fantastic!
"Gemma in the Einhorn?" When Linzers talk about where they can have a drink or a glass of bubbly late at night, the bar in Rathausgasse is usually the first choice. Matthias Jantsch, who has turned the Einhorn into a trendy meeting place in the steel city, has played a big part in its popularity.
The Linz cocktail lounge is entering its third year with its usual creative lunar look. The ubiquitous "Paloma" is interpreted here with rhubarb. Japanese elegance characterises the changing signature cocktails ("Yuzoni") in this equally cosy and high-quality "watering hole" in the city on the Danube.
The cocktail bar scores with exceptional cocktails that can hardly be ordered anywhere else in this preparation and quality. No wonder, Stefan Haneder, world champion in show bartending, and his friend Dušan Janjatović are at the bar. He is a nine-time Croatian national champion and their shaker shows are a delight.
A fancy bar with extraordinary cocktails is one thing, but Fabian Hötzeneder adds value to the iconic bar and offers cocktail courses too - ideal for beginners, advanced drinkers or groups who want to spend a relaxed evening. Who knows, maybe Linz's Tom Cruise is waiting in the wings ...
Every city should have nice little stops in the centre like this "Hasenbau". In terms of size, the comparison is apt, but Carina and Tom Hausknecht have a lot to offer, from breakfast to aperitifs. Italian and French lightness, plus sparkling wine and always a fun activity at the start.
The Nuba Bar has a new manager in Alban Pajaziti. Nothing has changed in terms of orientation. Linz's flâneurs and gourmets will be delighted: from 5 pm, they can continue to enjoy classics and their own creations. The dishes such as sushi, which are among the best in Linz, are certainly a treat.
Casual and iconic meeting place for the alternative scene in Linz. Right next to the Danube and the Ars Electronica Centre, strollers and night owls can enjoy a refreshing selection of excellent beers such as Märzen from Weitra, Zwickl from Obertrum or IPA from the "Beer Buddies". Stand-up espresso is available for an unbeatable 1.50 euros.
Yes, you read that right - billiards is played here and delicious drinks are enjoyed at the bar. Europe's most modern billiards venue is known for its sport, but also for its exclusive bar area, which attracts gourmets who are not yet familiar with cues and chalk. This can change after the first sip.
The Urfahran fairground is beautifully concreted and makes the waves run high. To relax, take a seat on the Danube boat "Florentine", enjoy a unique variety of beers, which can be sailed under "freight beers", the view of the river and the Brucknerhaus. One of the most casual places in Linz!
Get in, go up, enjoy. The rooftop bar of the Schwarzer Bär is easily reached by lift and after a few seconds you are rewarded with a magnificent view of the cathedral and Pöstlingberg. The icing on the cake are the drinks: great fizzy drinks, countless gins, excellent wines (also by the glass) - and top-class cuisine.
