Easily the most legitimate bespoke cocktail spot during our trip to Vienna. Not to mention, one of…read morethe more unique names, and a good homage to Bob Dylan. The place is situated more like a café than a cocktail bar, but it allowed the seating to be a lot more accommodating to larger groups. The only problem was temperature control, as it was incredibly warm, with no air conditioning and only a large fan at the door. The drinks were refreshing enough, but not quite enough to beat the heat. The cocktails themselves weren't terribly unique, but they did use great ingredients, and all the flavors were very well-balanced. I got my usual old-fashioned, and tried the Moscow Mule and espresso martini. I really enjoyed the old-fashioned, and the espresso martini was very tasty. The service was very attentive, and were very quick about getting us our drinks. The prices were pretty expensive for the area at about 10 Euros each, but as they were strong and well-made, it wasn't too much of a problem. Considering that many of the bars in Vienna only served things like Long Island Iced Teas and random, hackneyed mixed drinks, it was a welcome sight. Likely the best cocktail bar in the area that isn't crowded to the brim. There were plenty of other bars nearby, but none had the repertoire and laidback atmosphere. You should definitely come here if you're looking for a good, bespoke cocktail. The best is always yet to come.

The place is awesomely decorated. Very original and cool. Prices on drinks were ok for Vienna and the cocktails were tastier than I expected. Bar staff were top notch and very speedy. Also always inquiring if everything was ok. Now for the negatives. No snacks with the drinks, could give a small bowl of peanuts or so. Would be a nice touch. It gets very busy on the weekends so if you come for a drink and chat then forget it. A great place to party but not really for chatting with friends. Toilets are very small so there might be a queue. Over a pretty decent place. Will be back.

We got there super early (around 9PM), and the place was empty--as one expected on a Friday evening that early. To our surprise, and to our wallet's delight, 9-10Pm was happy hour that night; cocktails were 1/2 off. We both ordered long islands; usually I can't taste the alcohol in a long island, but the bartender had fixed us up with a generous amount of alcohol. Our bartender was dressed in head to toe black, including black skinny jeans, with a mop of shaggy dark hair; he floated around the bar looking more the part of a tortured artist than a bar tender, but he did fit the grungy-in-a-hip-way atmosphere. By midnight, the place was pretty packed with people. Groups of friends sat along the walls in faded yellow movie theater seats, around the bar in the center of the bar, and stood in clumps, chatting with heads cocked sideways and a drink in hand once all the seating areas had filled up. I didn't get the sense that this is a bar that gets raucous or overly crazy; the crowd was tame even when the bar filled up--this was in stark contrast to the bars we visited in Budapest. The music was good, but nothing too special. There were a few cool trap tracks dropped; luckily no dupstep or pop. Nothing really memorable though. Donau would definitely be a place to frequent if I lived in Vienna! Definitely check it out if you're in the city.

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.

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.

Instead we spotted the mannequin with a unicorn head in the window and thought this place just might be what we need instead. So we bellied up to the bar and order our pints. The service was friendly, there was a pug on staff, and the bar doubled as a cute indie clothing shop. Unfortunately, smoking was permitted (as with many bars/restaurants in Vienna) so we only stayed for one and I wouldn't consider buying clothes from here due to the smoke exposure. But it was a very cute/fun vibe overall and the DJ booth in the corner implies this place is awesome for a weekend.
