Fun and entertainment Vienna

"L'Orgue du vin" marks the edge of a district dominated by establishments sought after by wine lovers. The public is connoisseur and wiser than in the "Triangle". In this wine cellar, one takes the time to taste the wine. This Lokal where one stands owes its name to the barrel organ, a few centuries old, installed above the counter. The vaulted room is very convivial, as is the very mixed audience. The low prices are an additional pretext to discover Austrian wines. Long wine and peanut menu at will!

This is THE traditional Viennese café where the waiters even wear the binocle! A little ignored by tourists, the Bräunerhof is famous for the Bräunerhoftrios concerts that take place there on Saturday, Sunday afternoons and public holidays (starting around 3pm). However, these concerts do not take place in the summer, which reinforces the fact that it is not a tourist attraction. The atmosphere is intimate, the yellow walls slightly faded, the mosaic decoration and the waiters in three-piece suits have something profoundly Viennese and a reassuring immutability.

Since 1912, this beautiful, partly Art Nouveau building has housed three main halls: the Schubert-Saal, the Mozart-Saal and the Grosser Saal, the largest as its name suggests. Its musical palette is not limited to classical music, but covers the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque, as well as jazz and world music, and even contemporary progressive sounds. The musicians of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra perform there in prestigious concerts. The program takes place all year round, including in summer.

One of the best cinemas in Vienna showing films in original version with English subtitles. Top Kino exudes an artistic and relaxed atmosphere and its Lokal is also one of the most pleasant bars in the 6th district. It's an authentically trendy spot that meets the concept of trendy clubs, simple, frequented by a mixed audience and attracted by art. The evening can go on late into the night after the projections and the atmosphere can quickly heat up. A popular rendezvous for young Viennese artists.

It is one of the oldest Heuriger among the authentic areas of Vienna. Bacchus has been famous since the Middle Ages. Alain Delon, Helmut Kohl and the Dalai Lama have passed on to the sound of the same music. The house is known for the quality of its cuisine.

With a view of Schönbrunn Palace, the café opened in 1995 in a renovated building welcomes you in the pure tradition of the Viennese Kaffeehaus. It's a place where Emperor Franz I had his lunch. The choice of Mehlspeise is wide, from the Apfelstrudel to the Kugelhupf to the cardinal's pie. In summer, the terraces are full. Among the successes of the house is the breakfast buffet "Sissi" with champagne glass and smoked salmon canapé, traditional bread rolls, butter and jam, in an imperial style porcelain service.

This well-appointed café, whose origins date back to 1900, is a great place to spend evenings in a richly decorated interior or, in summer, on the small terrace. The Weimar retains the best of the Viennese café tradition, including outstanding service. Tradition is complemented by a well-structured menu offering a wide variety of Austrian and international cuisine to suit all tastes. Typical and definitely enjoyable. A piano plays operetta, swing and jazz classics on weekends from 4pm to 8pm.

In the city centre, very convenient.

A post-modern café, as it is both feng shui and cyber café!

The Piaristenkeller's musical (and culinary) programme is centred around the most famous representative of Viennese classical music. Quality concerts with renowned orchestras in the Piaristenkirche, a magnificent baroque church. In the vaulted cellars of the restaurant, Mozart's music (solo musician or string quartet) during the meal. We taste the dinner that Mozart would have had during one of his visits to the Piaristenkeller! At the end of the evening, head to the Hut- und Weinmuseum for a glass of Zauberflöte (Magic Flute).

Vienna's Latin Club is widely frequented by the local Hispanic community, but also by the Austrians. Result: a crowded club where one sometimes has to resign itself to drinking a pina debout, because there is no power to shake in the middle of the crowd.

An amazing establishment and uncategorized, so there are things! This place lives from 11 am to 4 am and offers various activities. For example, you can start with a coffee and a few oriental pastries before you take advantage of the hammam and the tea room, continue in the restaurant (French and Moroccan influence), and drink a drink at the club where Djs just like jazz groups. On a total surface of 2 000 m ², you can't feel at home in this old brick factory with a warm decoration. Visit absolutely during his stay!

It's a typical Viennese café with a patina of the 1960s, with its regulars and its divine apfelstrudel. Susanne Widl, the eccentric owner of the place, is hardly ever seen here anymore. But even from a distance, this former model and underground artist keeps an eye on things. Nestled on a small square behind St. Peter's Church, Café Korb combines tradition and avant-gardism. The waiters are in traditional clothes but the cards are fluorescent and the terrace is colorful. Go there rather in the morning to find a place. In the basement, concerts and animations are programmed.

Opposite the Burggarten, Burgring 1 is a bistro that lends itself well to a chat with friends or a drunken evening, but also to a stopover for a coffee and a pastry and a few moments' rest before setting off again to explore the city center and its riches. The industrial decor, the sometimes rough walls and the light bulbs placed at different heights create a slightly trendy, fairy-tale atmosphere. The mismatched tables and chairs add a really nice touch to the place. We love it! The terrace adds to the charm of the address.

Cigars are no longer smoked indoors as they used to be, as legislation now forbids smoking in bars. But the house still offers a fine selection of cigars. Cocktail lovers are in for a treat at the Kruger, one of the world's top 100 bars, with talented and renowned baristas of great dexterity. A long list of cocktails for aperitifs, after-dinner drinks, evening drinks... English club setting with wood panelling and club chairs. Great jazzy music. Golden youth and VIPs mingle. Reserve your table and dress appropriately.

Since its opening in 1998, the venue has been a hotbed of national and international bands and DJs. Among the celebrities who have performed here for the first time in Austria are Calexico, Tocotronic, Peaches and Moneybrother. With two floors under the railway arch, the B72 offers a balcony with a perfect view of the stage. On the second floor you can have a drink and dance. On the second floor, you can relax and unwind. In fine weather, there's also a pleasant outdoor area. The B72 is wheelchair accessible.

Founded in 1990 by pianist and conductor Paul Moser and his wife Sylvia, this chamber orchestra performs classical composers with a formation of 10 to 40 musicians in period costumes. Top of the bill: Mozart and Strauss. For the record, the WRO was Austria's official representative for the bicentenary of Mozart's death in 1991. In the purest Viennese tradition, the orchestra performs in the capital's most beautiful palaces.

Located in the heart of the Hofburg complex, the café of the same name, run by the Querfeld family, offers homemade pastries, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juice and snacks in a relaxed yet cosy atmosphere. This is a relaxing stopover after exploring the former imperial residence. Settle down on the terrace. It's the ideal spot to watch the horse-drawn carriages go by while dreaming of centuries of yesteryear... The service is impeccable in every respect and this café is an excellent address.

The Drechsler, a hundred-year-old bar that used to be known as the only one in Vienna where you could eat 23 hours a day, has become gentrified with reduced hours during the day. Nevertheless, this address with its cosy design, refined and trendy at the same time, still has the same success. The drinks menu shows originality with organic proposals and friendly home-made blends. We are particularly fond of fresh carrot-ginger fruit juice, local peach wine and excellent non-alcoholic cocktails. Varied breakfasts. Perfect break in front of the Naschmarkt.

The gigantic 1,800 ^m2 Pratersauna in the famous amusement park is housed in a former sauna and now houses a stylish discotheque with an original decor, but not only that. You will also find a stone bar, restaurant, terrace and even a swimming pool with a pool illuminated at night. It must be said that with so much space, the owners wanted to make it a place of entertainment and culture at the same time. Techno and electro music are played and the clientele is varied. Rich programming and numerous events.

One of the trendy addresses of the Grütel, the clubbers' quarter under the Otto Wagner arcades of the old underground, along a busy outer artery of the city. No charm at first glance, but decibels that don't bother anyone! Among these addresses, the Rhiz is one of the recent spots for electronic music lovers. Young and old mingle in a minimalist setting. Underground atmosphere and excellent electro music. It's no surprise then that Le Rhiz has become the most popular Viennese electronic music scene.

It is the bar of the cinema of the same name. The principle is nice and is always very successful with moviegoers. It is about giving the possibility to the spectators to have a drink or/and to eat a piece before or after a cinema session. Of course, you can go there just to have a drink and take a break in the 6th district. The clientele is rather young and nerdy because Top Kino doesn't program blockbusters but rather auteur films. Underground and quiet atmosphere. Very good welcome.

Two atmospheres, two seasons. In summer, the terrace under the tall trees looks like a guinguette and attracts a large clientele. In winter, one appreciates the bourgeois comfort inside a Jugendstil building. Time seems to stand still: the vintage decoration, the Viennese service, the feeling that you can take as long a break as you like, everything contributes to making you feel really comfortable. A regular clientele, we come here to drink beers with friends in a good-natured atmosphere. Nice welcome!

Einhorn? Unicorn. Funny name for a bar, coffee shop, cafe-jazz, cafe-rock... The tone is set with a certain humor and a warm ambience, a little offbeat. It has a heterogeneous clientele. 1970s decor, a bit rock and psychedelic.

Shows to delight young and old. In Vienna, even the puppets sing opera! This beautiful puppet theater offers shows of varying length, but if you have the time, don't hesitate to book a ticket for Mozart's The Magic Flute (an abridged version for children). The show, which lasts 2 hours 20 minutes (adults), is fascinating. The troupe's reputation is international, and they sometimes go on tour. Open-air shows in summer.

Since a dragonfly landed on the roof of Vienna's Leopold Museum, the Museumsquartier rooftop has been open to the public. Designed by Ortner & Ortner, with the help of artist Eva Schlegel for the building's glass façade, and fellow artist Brigitte Kowanz for the light rings, this is one of Vienna's most spectacular rooftops. We love its design, aerial, panoramic (and privatizable) space! The Zur Libelle kiosk offers fresh, healthy drinks and snacks. Stay tuned for its program! Access free of charge.

On the ^18th and top floor of the Sofitel, an old-fashioned Viennese bar in a modern space with a panoramic view of Vienna. Das Loft's decor is futuristic: the bar's ceiling is a multicolored fresco, and the building's architecture contrasts with imperial Vienna. An ideal spot to enjoy a cocktail with friends or lovers at dusk. It's also a gourmet restaurant. But restaurant or bar, it's best to reserve your table. Royal brunch on Sundays and sumptuous breakfasts every day. Another bar on the first floor.

The Viennese address of this brand present in several trendy capitals. We love this hotel-restaurant-rooftop by the 25hours label, close to the MQ (MuseumsQuartier). The trendy, cosy bar is located on the hotel's top floor, with a terrace overlooking Vienna's west side. The atmosphere is relaxed and the electro music cool, perfect for getting the evening off to a good start. The hotel, with its circus-themed rooms and suites, and the restaurant, 1500 Foodmakers, are also great value for money. A complete and stylish home.

It's the city's discotheque, praised by all and prized by the VIP youth, schickimicki in German. Located in the Volksgarten, the setting is truly stunning! You've rarely seen a nightclub in an imperial palace... The music is of good quality, and despite the "m'as-tu-vu" atmosphere, the discotheque is pleasant and frankly original, a must-see if you like clubbing. Especially since there's plenty of themed clubbing, DJs and a wide variety of evenings.

One of Vienna's unmissable nightclubs. Under the Otto Wagner arcades of a former underground line, the Flex is an underground and progressive address. Star DJs from the techno and drum'n'bass scene, the most popular stars from the alternative music scene and the world of dance regularly visit the Flex. Clientele of students and artists. On the decoration side, in the large hall that hosts concerts (about two a week), a lighted scrolling panel displays the verses of poets connected by Internet to the Flex .

Hello Cuba! Here is a great classic of the "Bermuda Triangle": a rum and cocktail bar, whose warm and cosy atmosphere, with a background of Latin or Caribbean music, is very much appreciated. It's very small and a decor of Amazonian jungle completes the change of scenery. The Ron Con Soda would be a replica of a Cuban bar on the outskirts of Havana. It's a pity that the trip is reserved for a small number of chosen people, because the size of the room doesn't allow for as many people as in the neighbouring bars. But this one has its followers!

Rum and coconut ambience at this address where the temperature rises as the night gets darker. The wealthy clientele of Vienna rub shoulders here with the golden youth who come to listen to the mixes of a DJ. In any case, everyone appreciates the cosy setting of the used leather armchairs where it is nice to sit down and chat for hours. For exoticism, one will place oneself in the shade of the palm tree planted in the middle, with its colourful cocktail. For a festive yet classy evening. Possibility to eat at the club's restaurant.

A cocktail bar designed by Adolf Loos, an emblematic figure of the Viennese artistic revival. The bar has retained its original decoration, making it a living museum. A set of mirrors gives the place a certain dimension. Only 27^m2 for this tiny bar whose size is inversely proportional to its success. A hushed atmosphere despite the roughness of the materials used (glass, metal). Come early if you want to sit down, the Loos is quickly full. Impeccable service, excellent coffee and a large choice of cocktails concocted by top bartenders.

The Jugendstil friezes that adorn the walls of the "Black Camel" are worth the trip alone. The establishment, which dates back to the year 1618, is designed as a wine bar. There is an excellent selection of bottles to taste on the premises or to take away. The atmosphere is a bit Latin, with a bar full of delicatessen, sandwiches, tramezzini or simple sandwiches, including a variant with the best ham in Vienna. Admittedly it's rather expensive, but the place is lively and widely appreciated by the local clientele. Also a restaurant.

The Schikaneder is an alternative hangout for Viennese youth and offers an underground setting: large, comfortable peeled armchairs sit alongside odd wooden chairs, while on one of the walls you can enjoy silent projections. Funk and electro music are in the spotlight here and the DJs are inspired. This offbeat place is next to a cinema, the Kino, whose programming consists mainly of documentaries and auteur films. The Schikaneder hosts interventions by artists. Long drinks menu and reasonable prices.

It is a second hall of the Theater an der Wien. The wide range of works in the Kammeroper's repertoire complements its programming and provides another perspective on the classical operatic world. The JET ensemble, led by young professional musicians, breathes new life into this traditional genre, which sometimes needs a little dusting off. The Kammeroper occupies a small establishment tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac near Schwedenplatz. And you'll discover contemporary versions of opera and operetta.

It is THE Viennese reference in terms of jazzy concerts and a really nice and warm atmosphere. Here, concerts and high-flying jazz improvisations take place, attracting jazz lovers from far and wide to attend new evenings each time in a pretty, round hall with exceptional acoustics. The address has thus become a cosy and friendly meeting point for jazz lovers. The programming of jazz or world artists, of international or local renown, is always of quality.

Broadcast many French films.

One of Vienna's cult halls for the seventh art. It attracts by its sharp programming the informed cinephiles around a cinema d'auteur most often engaged, even militant. The Stadtkino, which screens its films in their original version, regularly shows French films or films by French-speaking directors, those of the Dardenne brothers for example. It's an opportunity to enjoy a Viennese cinema without language barriers. This cinema schedules night-time screenings at weekends and Sunday matinees.

Festivals of liturgical music often take place, especially in the spring. Concerts open to the public, usually take place on Sunday morning. Non-religious concerts (especially organ) are also common, this time paid.

Opened in 1972, it's Vienna's oldest jazz club still in operation! It boasts a solid reputation and a loyal clientele, as well as regular musicians. It was this pioneering work that gave birth to the current jazz scene in Vienne. This jazz club continues to invite Austrian and international jazz stars to the stage. You'll appreciate its warm atmosphere and the quality of its concerts. The decor is splendid: vaulted ceilings, wood and exposed stone. If you're feeling a little hungry, there's plenty of food on the premises.

This is the ancestor of the Gürtel phenomenon, the first of the establishments that today make the Gürtel, with its nightclubs under the vaults of the metro, the meeting place for clubbers. The Chelsea was the first to open under the arcades and is always packed. It is full of decibels and the partygoers are sure to find a great atmosphere. The dance floor is always full and it's a waltz of DJs and concerts, Britpop, litres of beer, Strongbow, in short an underground club with a very Viennese touch. A reference.

A great atmosphere! Krah-Krah used to be one of the "Triangle's" emblematic night spots. Today, it's mellowed and gentrified, and no longer organizes concerts. Nevertheless, it remains one of the oldest establishments in the area. The interior decor, with its tablecloth-covered tables, is more reminiscent of an inn-style restaurant than a café. In fact, it's both. You can feast both ways and get the evening off to a good start. Fine wine list, draught beers and cocktails, traditional dishes. Cheerful atmosphere.

In the affluent Josefstadt district, this establishment offers a wide range of facilities: spacious and bright rooms, white tablecloths in the restaurant area, a relaxed terrace and a limited menu, which is different from the usual café cuisine. However, this is a traditional café in the Viennese sense of the word, and the Florianihof is especially worth a visit for its Jugendstil decoration. The Florianihof is not very popular with tourists and is a little out of the way from the centre, but it is a peaceful haven where you can quietly read the newspaper. Cinnamon and caramel flavoured coffees..

A traditional Viennese café with its many newspapers, serious waiters in their classic costumes, retro decoration... This establishment is located on a lovely little quiet square, where the trams pass by. Breakfasts are served here until 2pm, from the minimalist version to a real brunch for two people, including a vegetarian Greek breakfast. Long menu of soft drinks and cocktails. The varied, tempting and affordable dishes of the day are served from 11am to 3pm.

The Eiles café, once frequented by Thomas Bernhard, is a classic among the Kaffeehäusers of Vienna. Here, the vintage décor is enriched by old coffee machines or cash registers that accentuate the ancient aspect of this noble institution. The Mohr im Hemd (the "little nigger in a shirt" or chocolate mellow) and its melted chocolate sauce are divine. It's an unforgettable experience, time has stood still in this setting from another world. Drinking coffee in old-fashioned cups, you can stay there for hours...

It's the anti-deco Viennese bistro at the imperial. Here the decoration is classy but design. The Stein café, opened in 1985, immediately seduced the students with its trendy atmosphere. Its slogan? A good day starts with a good breakfast at the Stein café... Today, students meet tourists and trendy young people with a golden touch of Vienna. All day long, you can enjoy coffee and pastries there. On summer evenings, the sleek, chromium-plated terrace is taken by storm. The Stein is also a restaurant.

One of the emblematic HQs of the Viennese New Wave and a must in the genre. Since the 1980s, it has been a mythical meeting point near Mariahilferstrasse. The Café Europa offers a fine selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and excellent breakfasts served until 3pm. All in all a trendy bar with a rather wise clientele in harmony with its sober and design decoration. If the drinks menu is without surprise, the menu of the breakfasts and the dishes is on the other hand more inventive. Here, the great classic is Beef Tatar.
