If you are looking for a place to relax after work or at the weekend, an evening in an American bar is just the thing for you. Here you can enjoy the evening and the odd late night with jazz and fine drinks in a stylish atmosphere. There are numerous American bars in Vienna, some of which came to the city before the First World War as a result of American cultural influence.
American bars in Vienna
Loos American Bar
The Loos American Bar, also known as the Kärntner Bar, was designed by architect Adolf Loos in 1908 and was inspired by the American model. It is very small, which means it is often very crowded thanks to its cult status and central location. Its dark and abstract design gives it a particularly elegant flair, regardless of the number of visitors. This oldest American bar in Vienna is so famous that it even has a doppelganger in New York.
Kruger’s American Bar
Also in the city center is Kruger’s American Bar, which has been serving outstanding drinks and cigars since 1920. The interior reflects the bar’s long tradition. Leather armchairs and paneling bring the 20s and 30s back to life. It is still an exclusive Viennese meeting place today.
FRANK’S American Bar
Frank’s is not only an American bar, but also an excellent restaurant offering fresh and healthy American cuisine. In addition to a lunch menu, there are burgers, salads, but also New York pizza and Italian-style pasta in the evening. The motto is: uncomplicated and fresh in an atmospheric cellar vault.
Barfly’s Club Bar
Known as Vienna’s best hotel bar, Barfly’s Hotelbar is somewhat hidden in the back courtyard. It was opened in 1990 and offers a legendary selection of cocktails. There are also 1200 different types of whisky. Less dark than the other bars, Barfly’s Club Bar has a woody, cozy atmosphere.
