Cocktails with love

The best thing to hold onto in life is a Cocktail

We are simple. We are easy going. we are honest We’re great. We love what we do and you can see that in every nook and cranny. You will not find any cocktails under smoke bells, starters with celebrity attitude or bartenders telling you how to drink your cocktail. What do you find with us? Honest, straightforward cocktails with high-quality spirits, homemade syrups, staff with attention to detail and a cocktail bar run by the operators themselves. We are a classic American bar with history and a love for the art of cocktail creation.

  • Hands down the best cocktail bar in Vienna. Great service and awesome drinks! For a whiskey drinker such as myself, I totally recommend trying the drinks Bulletina (so refreshing!) and Don Draper Old Fashioned. But if you wanna be blown away, order the fantastic house classic Espresso Martini. I promise you won’t regret it! Plus the food is amaziiing, the appetizers are soooo delicious!

    My friend and I stopped in for a few cocktails on a Thursday our first night in Vienna. We had such a great time that we returned the following night!! Delicious cocktails, wonderful atmosphere and the friendliest staff. Especially Patrick and Eddie behind the bar. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a fun night in Vienna!

    Great experience! Very good cocktails, plus the newly opened kitchen has good food too! For example, try out the White russian, and the salmon!

    Sophie Abby Avatar Sophie Abby

    The only specialist cocktail bar I know in Vienna that also offers a dancefloor and a DJ. Cocktail menu is original but limited. However, the barman can make you anything you request off-menu. And he's a friendly chap to boot. Waiting staff are also friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is very relaxed and completely unpretentious. Separate smoking and non-smoking areas. Thoroughly recommended for a quiet drink or night on the dancefloor

    Great cocktail bar in the 7th district. DJ downstairs and dance floor to go with a really good staff atmosphere behind the bar. Felt like the staff were having as much fun as the customers - always a good sign ?

  • You can choose the cocktails from the menu, or the bartender can mix a flavour you could like to taste. Once it was full so the waitress suggested another really good place. 10/10 would recommend.
