The views are to die for, absolutely breathtaking 360 of many sights that you typically can't view from this vantage point. Cocktails are mid range price commensurate with Ritz Carlton level of service. Wait staff is younger so there is a hip vibe. For my taste there is too much smoking allowed in public outdoor spaces, this being one of those spaces. Of course it depends on who is sitting adjacent to you, but it is annoying. It is a smallish area but there's is a good number of tables, some with umbrellas, which comes in handy when it's sunny. It is worth seeing and experiencing, noting there are a handful of roof top options.

When the bartender at a 5-star hotel refers you to another bar, you know that it must be something…read morespecial. That's how I came upon Nightfly's. While staying at the Le Meridien, I wandered into the hotel's bar and asked for a Sazerac, and the bartender got a wistful look and smile and said that he didn't have all the makings of it, but he knew where I could go to find a true cocktail lounge. I wandered in on a cold and rainy night, and sat down at the bar. I asked the bartender if he had absinthe for a Sazerac, and told him about Silver Bar and Keita. He had a chuckle, and said that he knew Keita and respected his opinion, but that he made all the classics. As there were only a few other patrons, we had a chance to speak at length, and I soon learned that the bartender was actually Gerhard, the owner. For nearly 24 years, Gerhard has run this small temple to mixology, and he has stocked it with the finest of what the world has to offer. In particular the rums and whisk(e)ys span the world and the decades, with vintages I've never seen before (like a 25-year old Edmund Dantes Havana Club). In terms of variety, Nightfly's is maybe second only to The Brandy Library in New York City, but in a much more intimate environment. The space is dark and feels like you're walking into someone's den or study. The bar itself is underground, and the staircase leading you in is lined with boxes and bottles of glorious spirits that have been enjoyed by prior guests. The main seating area will be right in front of you, with small tables perfect for couples or small groups. To the right is the small bar, with room enough for 6 or so, and just past the bar is a sealed non-smoking room. Yup - Nightfly's is smoker-friendly, and you can either bring your own cigarettes, cigars, vape, or select from Gerhard's great stock of cigars for sale. If you sit at the bar, you can enjoy both Gerhard's company as well as watch the man at work. Each drink is made precisely, and will be mixed while the glass in which it is served is cooled down with ice cubes that are carefully drained so that you're never getting excess water in your cocktail. After each drink is made, Gerhard hands his tools off to his talented apprentice, who serves as both waiter in the main room as well as barback. Each shaker, blender, and stirrer is cleaned within minutes of being used behind the bar, and prepared for the next round. It's fast, efficient, and a marvel to watch. In my few days in Vienna, I managed to make it here twice regretting only that it could not be more. If you only have one evening for a well-made cocktail or top-shelf whisk(e)y or rum, Nightfly's is where you should go. If you actually live in Vienna, well then I can only congratulate you for being so fortunate as to come here whenever you wish. I wish Gerhard many more years behind the bar, and look forward to enjoying his craft again next time I'm in Vienna.

As a big of fan of architecture/design and alcohol, I made a point to visit the Loos Bar when a…read morefriend and I visited Vienna a few weeks ago. The Loos Bar was designed by famous Viennese architect and design Adolf Loos in 1908. It's 290 square feet of onyx, marble, and mahogany. It really is an incredible space. (They do have outdoor seating but if it's your first visit to the Loos Bar, you want to sit inside - it's part of the experience.) It's a cocktail bar, so my friend and I each ordered a cocktail according to our preferences from the menu - which is huge. My friend had a cocktail made with mezcal, and I had the Adolf Loos Spritzer (champagne, soda, strawberries, and mint). We both enjoyed our cocktails. Mine was exactly what I wanted on a warm afternoon day - refreshing and light. We went in the early afternoon, because I worried that this tiny little bar would get packed if we went at a more traditional hour for cocktails. It was pretty empty when we arrived and sat inside. So that's what's great about the Loos Bar - the design, the style, the drinks, the history. What's not so great? The service wasn't great, pretty unfriendly/unwelcoming (our bartender seemed almost offended we'd bothered him by ordering a drink). And they have a dress code - no flip flops, backpacks, or shorts (although "elegant shorts are welcome outdoors"). The dress code is reasonable, I suppose, and I probably wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the poor service. Despite this bad service, I can't give the Loos Bar any less than four stars, because it was one of the coolest bars I've ever visited: an amazing, historic space and some great cocktails, too.

SCAM ALERT. Let me tell you how this will go:…read more The Nigerian bartender will befriend you, find out what you like, let you grab a seat, order your cocktail, and then an hour or two into the evening he will approach your table with an unsolicited tray full "samples" in whatever particular genre of spirits or cocktails he has figured out you enjoy. Only, these are not samples. If you go along with it, you will be unceremoniously charged at the end of the night for every item he brings, which you didn't order. If you protest, highlight the fact you never ordered those drinks, or question this con-artist, he will make an overly dramatic display feigning that he was insulted or even emotionally hurt by your accusations, and at the end of the evening you'll STILL be charged for the drinks you never ordered. This is exactly how it played out for my friend and I. We asked for the manager in order to explain the situation. Then, and this is the amazing part, the bartender who attempted the scam us admitted to overcharging us on purpose! The manager then exclaimed, "I hate drama!" Well, us too. The bartender, upon being caught, then knocked 2 of the drinks we did not order off the tab (still overcharging us 3 rounds) and would go no further, which was the same moment the manager disappeared from view. At one point the classic threat was issued by either the manager or the bartender "we could call the police" to which my friend and I replied "Please do." Both the bartender and manager backed down immediately. They are clearly aware that fraud is being perpetrated at this establishment. I travel often, having spent much time in the developing world, and have seen just about every scam out there. This one was particularly shocking however, given that we were in the heart of Austria. This is not a swindle I expected to find in a beautiful, well run and organized city such as Vienna. As my work takes me back to Vienna often, I'll be sure to continue seeing the rest of that fine city, though I'll probably skip Albertina Passage. I look forward to filing a police report on this incident in the meantime.

Service was good but with too much interference during ongoing table conversations. Live performance was good if you come for drinks. For dining it does not work as it kills table conversations. We moved closer together for a better chance to hear each other, hardly an ideal solution. Food was tasty overall, with the cabbage dish being over salted. Flavor and portion sizes (thank goodness for the ongoing supply of bread) are not in line with the price level.
