    Coconut cream Mojito
    Andoni R.

    Very classy establishment with great drinks. Had the coconut cream Mojito and it was perfect. Although I was jealous of my wife who is pregnant. They made her the non alcoholic version and it was probably better than my drink. I would definitely recommend this location.

    Top cocktail bar! Creative drinks on an expansive drink menu for reasonable prices! One drink for an average of €10. Decent size and fair amount of alcohol. The atmosphere is laid back without turning it into one of those 'alternative' places where you are looked down on if you don't wear fair trade clothing. The staff was really attentive, knowledgeable and nice! The deconstructed cocktail was really cool. Huge PLUS: the entire bar is non-smoking!!!! It was packed, which is proof that you don't need to offer a smoking area if your product and service are good! Keep it up The Sign! This is what Vienna needs more of!

    Cool cocktail bar in Vienna's Liechtental
    Jeff H.

    This ultra-popular and award-winning cocktail bar is tucked away on the Liechtensteinstraße in Vienna's Liechtental hood. You def have to look for 'The Sign!' But once you are here, the drinks flow easily and the buzz is mighty. Don't even think to come with a large party without a reservation. I was here recently for a birthday party and the birthday honorée had arranged for a Gin Malbrett which lets you create your own flavored gin fizz with a paint brush and using the colorful flavor palette. Cool!! Then you can move on to other attractive cocktails including a fun Mannekin Pis which I think you know how that works. Food is not the main focus here but bar snacks like pomme frites or jiaozhi are available. The noise level is loud, the lighting dark (bring your phone to give some light to be able to read the huge menu book), the service very good. Then all you have to do is say cheers and chill to the middle of the night!

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 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.
