Dino's American Bar - Smoked Mezcal Old Fashioned - Bars Near Me - Vienna, 9

This place reminds me of an old speakeasy inside, dimly lit interior with backlit cabinets full of alcohol all around the bar. Not the cheapest but the bartender makes great drinks and you get what you pay for, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Despite the name, it's mostly a local crowd. And like much of Europe, they do smoke indoors/at the bar read more

Dino's American Bar - Bars Near Me - Vienna, 9

Small authentic place that brings you back to 1930s United States bar. Smooth jazz tunes and lacquered wood set the mood. The bar serves only the drinks, but the number and the variety of strong alcohol beverages and cocktails is so large that the menu has a separate alphabetical index if you want find something specific. Although it's not necessary as the bartender is very friendly and helpful and can give advise and prepare your new favorite cocktail. read more

This is one of those reviews that you almost don't want to write because you're afraid the secret will get out and the five stars will somehow become diluted. No matter, in the best of the spirit of yelp, I proudly give out one of my few five star reviews to Dino's. This is, and I know what I am about to say shouldn't be taken lightly... my favorite bar in the entire world. In fact, this is the bar where hubby and I and two of our closest friends came up with our retirement plan (no, really....) Dino's is amazing. When you walk in, you feel like you are in that really chic basement bar that you always wanted to create, surrounded by 50 of your closest friends. If you had a basement that had tiered seating levels and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of random, obscure alcohol lining the walls. Read the menu, the Lemon Drop is my personal favorite, but.... ask the bartender what he recommends. In a recent visit, the bartender came up with an obscure drink for my better half simply by asking him what he liked and what tastes he was craving. Remember those Pisco Sours of your backpacking days through Chile - he can make one better (or at least it tastes so after 20 years...) The bartenders are masters at their crafts. And they will remember you even months later (not that one should go months without going...) This is not the tourist crowd, and these are not the young drunks or those out to consume as much as possible. This bar, in my opinion, epitomizes what a bar should be. Honest, refreshing, and somewhere you can feel at home. Even in your ball gown. (Though no ball gown required) read more

I visited this bar on the basis of the other English review. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Having visited on the basis of that review, it is ironic that I now share the reviewer's concern about spreading the word. On the one hand, I want to tell the whole world. On the other hand, I greedily want to keep the secret. Even though I may never even make it back to Vienna. There is a bartender here named Heinz Kaiser, which I almost think must be a pseudonym. Regardless, the man is a genius. I have drunk Bloody Marys all my adult life. I have been drinking Virgin Marys since I was a very little boy. I know what is a good Bloody Mary. What Heinz made me expanded my mind. He uses a clear "white tomato juice" which he makes himself by filtering fresh tomatoes through a cloth. He has homemade cucumber infused gin. He uses an egg white, and his own concoction of spices. The beverage he creates raises the Bloody Mary bar to a level I could never before have fathomed. He made my wife a cola-free Cuba Libre with tamarind and cloves. It tasted exactly like it had Coke in it, but better. He combined a homemade blue cheese infused liquor with a chocolate liquor. As he explained to us, the two flavors affect the same area of the tongue, so you cannot taste them separately. Rather, they create a new flavor. A new kind of delicious. He also made me a marvelous vodka dirty martini. He brings a passion and a creativity to his work that is truly unique and almost worth the transatlantic flight all on its own. We came in on a Wednesday. The place was practically empty. It was warmly decorated and quiet. They were playing old jazz standards. Heaven. I hope these positive reviews won't ruin it. read more

One of my favourite bars, especially since Bar Wien in Biberstraße closed. The waiters are attentive and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home, without being in your hair, creating the odd cocktail just as you want it. Can get a little crowded, as it's in a popular going out area. Still, one of the classier places around. read more

This is, hands down, the best place in Vienna, if not all of Austria to get a good stiff drink. If the drink you're looking for isn't amongst the odd hundred cocktails on the menu, then just have a short chat with the bartender and he'll certainly cater straight to your wishes. I have so far yet to taste a drink there that is not a perfect blend of liquor, fruit and, on occasion, cream. The bartenders will also gladly come up with non-alcoholic ones, even if you have a specific, yet vague wish such as "I'd like a cocktail with mint, but it shouldn't be based on cream, and I don't want it to taste too minty either." Personal suggestions there: Mini Me (the minty one) Scottish Surprise (my personal favourite, albeit a bit served in too small a glass for my taste ;-)) Melonski Bombay Crush read more

This was the best bar we went to. Sunday evening, chilled out, great atmosphere, good music, super friendly and helpful waiter, cocktails perfectly executed. What more to ask for?! read more

There is absolutely nothing wrong to say about this place, except that on some nights you may have to take a shower upon going home because it can be smokey. However it is completely worth and even I can overlook this it because this speakeasy styled bar has the best cocktails in town. Aside from the standard options, all three bartenders have their own creations and recommendations that always seem to match the mood. Furthermore the prices (10-12 Euros generally) per cocktail are extremely fair for the volume and quality; very balanced taste, not light on the pour, and it is quite clear they know their craft well. Also the staff always makes sure the complimentary snacks in front of me are refilled, as well as the water glass which they come to you with automatically even before taking your cocktail order. On weekdays it is not very crowded, an ideal time to go. On the weekends it does fill up unsurprisingly but generally you are getting your order in without too much wait. In my opinion, no other place in Vienna is worth going to after having had the cocktails at Dino's. And after writing this post, I will have to pour myself a cocktail thinking about all the delicious drinks I have had there! read more

Dino's bar is an institution in Vienna. You don't just want to drink a cocktail but you want to have an experience, you go here. Best drinks, awesome staff and perfect bar-atmosphere make Dino's a must-visit for any bar-aficionado. The first time I entered Dino's is certainly more than 10 years ago. I can still remember that day. It was after a gig of 2Raumwohnung relatively close to the bar when a friend told me to go there. "You'll like it, the owner and you share the same nationality". Not that our nation is known for it's cocktails, but nevertheless we gave it a go. And so I met Rene, and with that, most of the bars in this world became places of unhappiness for me, as they cannot even closely match the Dino's experience. Because that is it - an experience. Rene managed to not only run a bar, but to make you feel special every time you come in. It's the bar, the staff, the drink, just everything. And they care about everybody walking into the place. The bar itself is not very large - but I feel that it's part of the atmosphere. When you enter, it's kind of dark. Wooden panels on the walls with displays of all kinds of bottles with exquisite drinks of various kind. Smooth jazz and jazz-like music fills the ears and you will be welcomed by the lovely staff of the bar. You either dig in their book of cocktails, which features several own creations, order your favorite drink which they will make to perfection or you ask them for a custom drink. I've tried all three options, and every time, I've been more than happy with the results. I eventually turned up more frequently, and they staff starts to know your drinks, what you like and what you don't. Sometimes they recommend you to deviate from your normal drink to try something else. A special version of your drink, or maybe one created by one of the bartenders. Although that might be an understatement. Being a pharmacist originally, Heinz masters the combination of drinks, spices and anything else that fits to create perfect drinks. Featured in multiple contests and having won several of them, Heinz is your man when it comes to special drinks and mixtures. With those two being long-time part of the crew, the others have some work to do to catch up in their footsteps. But all others are amazing too. If it is Ercan, who worked a whole while there, Elvis, currently one of the crew of Alex, who seems to disappear and reappear infrequently, they all make you feel very well. If you are into sweet cocktails, a stiff drink and like to combine that with good music and this American bar feeling you know from the movies, give Dino's a shot - you won't be disappointed. Please note that it's allowed to smoke in the bar, although normally it's not a problem at all as the ventilation system is very well. Credit card payments are accepted too. read more

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this gem last night. The bartender/owner, Rene, operates a superb bar with an extensive whisk(e)y selection and provides exceptional service. If you desire to taste the glorious Laphroaig PX or Wild Turkey 13 year, stop by here--and you'll encounter so many more offerings not limited to whisk(e)y. read more
