Blaue Bar

Sacher’s legendary Blaue Bar sets the stage for savoir vivre. Enjoy a refined apéritif before dinner or just unwind in style.

We are also happy to serve you a Wiener Schnitzel or Original Sacher Würstel. Spend an unforgettable evening in the cozy and elegant atmosphere of the Blue Bar.

Kleinod Cocktailbar

Kleinod Cocktailbar is known for its stylish and sophisticated ambience with antique furnishings, dim lighting, and cosy seating. The bar has a team of skilled mixologists who create an extensive menu of signature cocktails, including both timeless classics and innovative creations. If you end up going there, be sure to try “Salty boulevard”, Kleinod’s twist on a whiskey sour.

MOOONS

MOOONS Rooftop Bar has one of the best panoramic views of the city and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink on a warm summer evening basking in the beauty of Vienna. The rooftop bar has a contemporary design with comfortable lounge chairs and sofas, where visitors can unwind while enjoying their extensive menu of beverages.

You can enjoy the panoramic views above in all four seasons, practically 'hovering' over the Elizabeth Bridge, but we prefer the cocktail hour during the summer sunset at leisure and up to the stars.

Tür 7

Find your way to the unsigned ‘door 7’ on nondescript Buchfeldgasse and ring for entry. It sounds like a pretentious way to start the night, yet this shoebox speakeasy provides a warm welcome. While the chummy doorman hangs up your coat, the bartender will strike up a conversation and design a bespoke cocktail based on what he learns about you (I got vodka, bitters, chartreuse and Corsican Escubac). Plus, you’ll enjoy free popcorn at your velvet banquette.

Motto am Fluss

Young Austrians refer to cocktail hour as AWB, or “after-work beer”. And one bend of the Danube Canal is rich in places to indulge — suave cocktail joints that reflect the water in their glassy facades. Motto — a riverside bar shaped like the catamarans in the water below that depart for Bratislava (“fluss” is German for “flow”) — is accessed by a shallow gangplank-like staircase. Hit the cafe, which is cheaper and more casual than the below-deck restaurant, and sip a Rhabarbara Ann gin and rhubarb cocktail.
