There are many details that reveal the quality even before the first sip. Fine wood, jazzy music, and a cocktail menu that naturally includes punch bowls. Because Heinz Kaiser and his team understand the art of "liquid refreshment" in both large and small doses. And they're happy to serve it with rum, just like at the "Kaiserin."
The strong teamwork under Philipp Ernst's leadership continues to develop the bar. The greeting from his old stomping grounds, signature cocktails made exclusively with Styrian ingredients, was the best proof of this. And Vienna's cocktail scene still enjoys the now iconic espumas. In short: a "Modern Classic".
The duo "JoJo" Luger and Attila Szelhoffer are as adept at discussing Hungarian apricot brandy and anime as they are at mixing drinks. Their broad pop-cultural influences are translated into their glassware, and the renovation provides an even more refined setting for this exceptional mixology. A fantastic venue, completely unpretentious, but brimming with class!
The bar menu is a vibrant, eclectic mix, the brainchild of two creative powerhouses, Laura Peez and Sigi Schot. It's complemented by signature cocktails from the entire team, often garnished with pop-cultural wit or art historical references. An open, inclusive, and above all, incredibly good place to drink!
Fortune favors the bold – that's the motto at this cool spot with its "Mini of the Week," offering samples without prior explanation. The fact that they always taste amazing speaks volumes about the expertise of the excellent team, who prefer to work without fuss, relying instead on a keen sense of nuance and flavor. A top address!
The unofficial message of Black Forest Gin also features the monkey in its coat of arms – and accordingly, a playful spirit often shines through in the drinks created by Jan Masek and Michael Kreuzer. For example, when they serve "Greek Wine." The charm of the old building is history: now, high above the ground, the vibrant present sets the tone.
A few steps separate the promenade from Marco's domain. For here, different rules apply. In an instant, you're complicit in the night, enjoying refreshments often mixed with American whiskey. Vinyl records play from hidden speakers, while someone else experiences the pleasure of their first "Thai massage."
Damir Bušić delves ever deeper into the world of Tyrolean flavors, fusing them with international recipes. His latest example: taming the infamous "Krautinger," a feat only the master himself could achieve. Anyone wanting to entrust their own diary with unusual drinking adventures should read Diary!
The mixologists are true masters of their craft and among the most renowned in the city. With creativity and precision, they experiment with ingredients, flavors, and techniques to create something truly unique. Even classic cocktails are flawlessly executed; the Negroni, for example, impresses with its perfect balance.
When the lights above the bar begin to flicker, it's showtime again. The mischievous spirit and astounding knack for flavors have long since begun their work. Kan Zuo's foray into Villa Bulfon brings together exotic aromas and witty serves – from smoking with a "dragon" to a soap bubble.
Whether it's a Martini, Gimlet, or Negroni, when it comes to gin drinks, Sascha Riepl is a true expert. He has a vast array of juniper at his disposal. But he goes the extra mile, quite literally, when it comes to gathering his own botanicals in the Salzburg mountains. Alpine creations like his "Herbal Mule" are the reward.
Others may use different speakers, but Gerhard Wanderer's life's work is enough to continue drawing true connoisseurs into the semi-darkness of an authentic American bar. There, he takes the guest's wishes into account and, with expert knowledge, selects the ideal response from his extensive collection of (often dark) spirits. Rare quality!
A popular meeting place for over 30 years in a beautiful downtown palace. The subdued lighting and the elegant interior, designed by Ernst Fuchs, are magical. Classic cocktails are served alongside new variations, such as the "Pompalona" with tequila, lime, agave, Ancho Reyes liqueur, and pomegranate.
With Stani Fürst at the bar, the motto of the Michelin-starred restaurant's small bar quickly proved true: "Sensational Cocktails." The head bartender composes them to tantalize all the senses. Simultaneously, they offer two dozen open wines curated by Thomas Kracher. In the industrial-chic ambiance, both options lead to pure enjoyment.
When people from Linz talk about exquisite cocktails, they always end up talking about Claudia Schiemer at Boiler Room. The head bartender understands like few others how to give drinks her personal touch, creating one signature drink after another: Her "Lychee Martini" (with marshmallows) is amazing!
"Let's go to the Unicorn?" When people from Linz are discussing where to have a drink or a glass of champagne late at night, the choice usually falls on the bar in Rathausgasse. Matthias Jantsch has played a major role in its popularity, having turned the Unicorn into a trendy meeting place in the steel city.
Wine pairing is a thing of the past – here, the principle is turned on its head, and creative drinks are paired with the perfect culinary accompaniment. Even without an appetite, a spirit of experimentation is practically mandatory; the menu provides a helpful guide. Tip: The "Negroni Benito" combines bitter notes with hints of rosemary and raspberry.
The Linz cocktail lounge, with its lunar-inspired look, enters its third year with its usual creativity. The ever-present Paloma cocktail is given a rhubarb twist. A Japanese elegance characterizes the rotating signature cocktails ("Yuzoni") in this cozy yet sophisticated "watering hole" of the Danube city.
A legend with an enveloping atmosphere far removed from everyday life. This is how the nucleus of Vienna's bar miracle presents itself today. With rum and whisky cocktails, you're faced with both the ultimate challenge and Elysium rolled into one. The richly stocked corner of rare spirits is best described with a song by the legendary Dean Martin: "That's Amore!"
The South American flavors create the perfect vacation feeling: Tequila and mezcal are the stars of the signature drinks; the "Aloha Mezcal" combines smoky notes with the South Seas flavors of pineapple and coconut, and Pisco also makes a grand appearance. Thanks to "Taco Tuesday," even the start of the week is a highlight.
