Bukowski The Pub

Bar

🫤 Very poor customer service, the only good thing there is the area. There is no menu to see which drinks they have. The waitress sits with her friends during the shift instead of taking care of the place and the customers. Don't expect anything special. The beer is good, the service is bad. Better... People often mention good, great, nice, beer, service, people, atmosphere, drinks, staff,

    Some of the bartenders are cute. I'm not aure if it's the place's fault but the people over there just don't pass the vibe check

    Cozy bar to have a beer. They only accept cash and they don't serve food. The atmosphere is super nice

    Great bar and really has a pub vibe. Filled with lots of locals and the bar tenders are super nice. Very much a place where everyone knows your name if you go frequently enough. Plus, almost every time I've been here I've met new people which has been great. Don't come here expecting to be served like a cafe or restaurant and get the same experience. Come here if you want a pub experience (one that's better than any of the other "pubs" i've been to in Vienna)

    Really really nice bar!! The drinks are well made and definitely worth their price (if you go here take some cash with you!!) The bartenders seemed to have fun and served us very helpfully and kindly. Shoutout to the hot one with the curly hair (i think her name was anna) and the one with dreads!! u are the best!

    Checked it out twice. 1. visit We weren't such a big fan of the pub. The name of the Pub sounds interesting but the location itself does not shout "Bukowski" that much and it isn't that authentic as we thought it would be. Service was okay but could have been more friendly. 2. visit We sat inside, as the area outside was crowded.The waitress was really unfriendly! It took her a while to serve us as she was more busy having fun with her friends. She wasn't talkative when she finally came to our table and served us the beer she kinda harshly put down the glasses, didn't say a word and walked away quickly. She gave us the feeling, that we weren't welcome inside. But as soon as she was with her friends again she started laughing, talking, fooling around and drinking again... When we paid for our drinks and even tipped her (we are always quite generous and gave her more than 10%) she didn't even look us in the eye, didn't thank us or anything. Sorry but, that girl is just not made for working in service. We guess we won't come back again.

    A very cool place to have a nice beer with friends. The place is nice and relaxed and a small stop for a beer can became a all night out with beers and friends. Definitely recomend!

    Such a cool bar. We got there before it got too crazy, but man. Once we had to move inside, it got busy. Great atmosphere and fun. Good selection of beers.

    It was okay, but the smoking is allowed inside which bothered me a lot. Also the bartenders could be friendlier, as I accidentally split half of my drink at the bar in front of her and would be nice to fill it up but she doesn’t cared at all.

    Do you love a good dive bar? Do you want to feel like Charles Bukowski? Do you want to drink good beers and don't want to worry about time? Then this is the place for you!

  • 1/5 עתליה �. 11 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    I would not go back there. I received a hostile attitude, belittled by the staff, I felt unsafe sitting there as a tourist. The place was empty.. a place with bad service, people not nice at all. An experience I will not forget and not in the good sense of the word. At the end of the street, take an initial left into the alley. There is a great bar with good people, good food and great .service

    Perfect pub!! Don’t know what all the other comments are on about. Cheap beers, wicked out door area, lovely staff (person on a Monday was lovely!). Perfect for people who love a good beer, not fancy but perfect!!

    Open till 6 o'clock am. Your best choice if you can't get into kreisky across the street. It's 4 am the beer is cheap and so are you give it a try.

    Definitely had my fair share of good times here. The bar is a popular one thanks to the legendary poet Charles Bukowski. The bar tenders like to troll people that are already past drunk. One of them offered my buddy a shot of vodka and a shot of water. My friend had to choose one. I saw the guy pour..... they were both water shots. Overall fun place, enjoy responsibly leute.

    This place is a little 'dirty'. If you want something more grungy then this is a great place, small but with a vibe that suits the scene. Upper class it ain't but for a beer and fun you could do worse.

😐 The pizza was so good! I’d definitely recommend the place for the people around the area. The atmosphere and the waitress were too nice. The only negative thing about it was the waiting time for someone to come and take my order, and again for someone to bring me the check.
