The Best Bars in Vorarlberg
Oliver Polster is tireless when it comes to the world of drinks high above the Walsertal. Even the most experienced barflies learn something new in a fluid dialogue with the hat fan. We're not talking about rarities when it comes to dark spirits, but about the signatures of this extraordinary bar wizard. Well worth a detour.
Since the 1950s, elegant bar flair and extraordinary cocktails have characterised the evenings here - and nothing has fundamentally changed. Under bar manager Oliver, spices, tea and vegetable juices are used in signature cocktails - great! Sharing snacks, a sun terrace and alpine casualness round off every visit.
Cost accountants and restaurateurs would all like it: the restaurant that transforms with the time of day and shines in all disciplines. Well, you're in a good position here. Above all, the transition from lunch to day drinking and sundowners by the lake is in the best of hands. More adventurous palates should talk to bartender Bernd Neubauer.
Bar August is located in the historic "Red House" right on the market square. This is where stylish ambience, creative signature drinks, and passionate bartending come together. Host Hugo Bandeira and his team mix cocktails to perfection. The selection of champagne and spirits also leaves nothing to be desired.
Nothing was left to chance with the Arlberg Club House. The vibrant bar and club "down under" fits seamlessly into the stylish and classy overall ensemble. Whether it's an après-ski date or a stylish celebration - thanks to exclusive (sparkling) wines, creative cocktails and expert international bartenders, every occasion is a success.
Relax in style by the open fire: soft armchairs, subtle music and relaxed service turn the aperitif into a ritual. Alpine tranquillity meets discreet luxury, ideal for a glass before dinner or a late digestif. The highly competent bar team is always on hand with great recommendations.
A bar with style in the traditional Hotel Post, named after the US writer and regular guest Ludwig Bemelmans. Champagne, single malts, creative cocktails or the almost endless selection of wines - Alpine cosiness is combined with international flair here, which goes down well with guests and locals alike.
Enjoy classic cocktails or seasonal creations in a former barracks? Perhaps the most casual spot on Lake Constance also knows how to handle drinks and spirits, whether at the day bar, in the exclusive bathhouse directly on the lake, or at the Rote Bar which is the stylish trendy meeting place late at night.
Close to the city centre with quiet niches and stylish enjoyment into the night: this is the best way to describe the city bar run by Christian Pfeiffer and his crew. Here, a broad cocktail menu and fine wines meet a flair for spirits - including seasonal creations. Legendary: an almost perfect beef tartare!
In the popular holiday village, the Camelot crew let off steam mixologically and the guests love it. Signature drinks are created non-stop, classics are prepared to perfection and individualistic requests are also perfectly realised. Events such as House or Rock Nights and a rustic ambience create an après-ski/wandering atmosphere.
In the centre of Feldkirch's old town, the Bunt Bar is a lively meeting place. Modern, cosy design with a great selection of cocktails, changing music acts and a secluded patio - this is where conviviality is staged anew every day. Great entertainment on offer, from pub quizzes to pyjama parties, everything is staged like a film.
Café by day, Latin bar by night: Christof Albrecht and his team have been inviting guests to enjoy Latin American grooves, DJ beats, cocktails and a warm living room atmosphere for 25 years. Cultures, generations, musical styles - all in one place. Top spirits, an assortment of cigars and business lunches are also part of the programme.
With the motto "casual fine drinking", Lukas Buttazoni and Stefan Köb have hit a nerve: From a caffeinated start to the day to a late-night drink, the emphasis is on moments that are suitable for posting. Fresh and creative surprises are a regular feature: highball specials, cocktails with seasonal ingredients and mixologist's special shots.
This is the stuff of legends: The extravagant mix of bar, lounge and living room brings together a colourful mix of guests, from holidaymakers to locals. With the "Zürserl", there is a cocktail cellar club as a wild counterpart for wild nights out. Both are perfectly organised by bar manager Patrick Fender.
One of the most beautiful opportunities to enjoy the sunset on Lake Constance - ideally with festival sounds from next door. Cosy in a deckchair or relaxed at the bar - the main thing is to have a fine drink in your hand! The wine and cocktail selection is small but exquisite, and the "Virgin" range has also been expanded.
Traditional and modern, hip in a down-to-earth way, creative and yet calm and cool: there are few places that reflect the spirit of the Bregenzerwald better than Guni Fetz's bar. The location is a jewel, the single malts should be cross-tasted and the hot "souls" (= stuffed ciabatta) are sinfully good!
After ceviche or steaks, look forward to mature red wines, cocktails or fine spirits: the historic Rheintal-Haus in the Villenviertel is not only known for its fine cuisine. At the legendary bar, gourmets meet a colourful, trendy crowd and enjoy the great range of products from host and top sommelier Ali Yalcin.
Cocktail institution since 2006 with show bartender moments: large selection from classics to own creations, DJ nights and a highly motivated crew. Thanks to the mobile "WandelBar", Mike Erath and his team spread their spirit at events and - since summer 2025 - also in the guest garden of the Gösser Bar in the city centre.
Hospitality has been a top priority for the Gallaun family since 1979. The restaurant, café and bar merge into a lively meeting place that delights guests every day. Highlights of the bar apart from the wine selection: gin selection, classic and more creative long drinks, spirits and a variety of non-alcoholic alternatives.
People have been partying and dancing in the legendary vaulted cellar for over two decades. With electro beats, pulsating DJ sets, live acts and theme parties (and a cocktail night), the dance floor shakes, while classic long drinks and specials are served. Particularly grandiose: open airs such as "Silent Disco" and "Love is in the Air".
