Bars in Vienna - Austria
Kruger's American Bar
The entrance of the bar is located unimposing in a side alley of the Kärntner Strasse. The interior is very tasteful furnished with comfortable seats at dark leather settees, some bar tables and stools and a classical bar made of wood. The illuminated bottles at the wall behind the bar are especially looking well in the dim light. At classical hits from Dean Martin & Co. or lounge music you can enjoy the magnificent cocktails at moderate prices for the city center. In the summer you can also have your drink outside at a small terrace. Before 20:00 o'clock there is sometimes a Happy Hour where you can get a lot of cocktails at a reduced pricing. At this time it is no problem to get a seat. At weekends after 22:00 o'clock this will be not so easy. The special atmosphere is also well known at the prominence. You can find some pictures of the most known visitors in front of the restroom entrance.

Sky Bar
This noble restaurant and cocktail bar is located in the top floor of the well known department store Steffl at the Kärntner Strasse. The best way to come to this bar is by the transparent panoramic elevator where you get a foretaste at the fantastic view from the bar terrace. There you can enjoy the view above the rooftops of the city and discover also some of the sights of Vienna. For the good quality of the cocktails, the noble flair and the beautiful view you have to pay an accordingly price for the drinks. But at an idyllic place on the terrace or during sitting inside on one of the comfortable leather chair you should be able to forget this drop of bitterness quite quickly. This exceptional atmosphere attracts additional to the wealthy guests also a lot of tourists and due to that there is normally a quite mixed and pleasant audience.

Filmbar
The Filmbar is located in the same building as the famous Albertina Museum. The bar is integrated into the film museum, which shows special films almost every day. Regardless of the film screenings, you can visit the bar during opening hours. It is not a typical cocktail bar, but rather a simple small bar with an excellent location close to the Opera, Hofburg, Kärntner Strasse ... The interior area mainly consists of a long bar counter. Outside you will find a few tables on a wide sidewalk directly in front of the staircase to the Albertina Museum. This is a fine place for watching the hustle and bustle of the city center. What I like about this simple bar are the relaxed atmosphere and the perfect location in the city center.

Chill Out Lounge
This relaxing bar is centrally located nearby the place Hoher Markt. It is casually furnished with a lot of rattan sofas and seat arrangements around low coffee tables and some round bar tables and stools. Additional to a wide offer of different cocktails you can also choose among different warm dishes and snacks. During the Happy Hour from 18:00 to 20:00 o'clock you get some cocktails at a special pricing. The guest structure is fairly mixed and the average age is below 30. Especially during the weekend time it can be quite crowded and difficult to get a seat.

Dino's Apothecary Bar
At this location, guests have been pampered with delicious cocktails since many years. In December 2019 the bar was reopened with a new name and concept. The motto of the new Dino's Apothecary Bar can be summarized as follows: apothecaries knowledge meets cocktail creations. The new owner of the bar is an educated pharmacist. This knowledge can be found in some of the exceptional cocktail creations which are available in this bar. But don't worry, the bar's design and atmosphere are not related to an uncomfortable pharmacy. Here you will find the classic bar interior with a long bar counter and dignified flair.

First American Bar
Also in this bar you can find the typically bar ambience. Close to the church Stephansdom you can enjoy your drinks on two floors. Normally it is a bit more quiet on the upper floor. In the menu for the drinks you find besides a wide range of cocktails also a broad offer of different Whiskey types. The experienced team serves high-quality cocktails which you can enjoy at a pleasant mix of soul, jazz and blues music. During the Happy Hour (usually on weekdays between 18:00 and 20:00 o'clock) you get some of the drinks at a reduced pricing. There is also a small terrace at the corner to the Kumpfgasse which can be used during the summer times until 24:00 o'clock.

Bettel-Alm Disco
This is not a cocktail bar, but if you are looking for a disco in the center of the city and you do not have a problem with a bit alpine hut flair, then you are at the right place here. After the entrance in the ground floor you are in the restaurant area. From there steps are leading downstairs to the wardrobe where also the disco area is beginning. There are different rooms which are connected by corridors. The audience, which is mixed in age, has some fun at apres ski influenced music. At the weekend after 23:00 o'clock it can get very crowded. As you normally do not have to pay an entrance fee you can risk a glance by yourself.
