    Really nice place. Exclusive design. Reminds you of some old style french hotel. Bar looked amazing, but service was meh. It wasn't nice to see that almost no one pays attention to the table and we didn't have anyone come to take our order until we called for someone. Not enough communication from staff. Couldn't give us a good recommendation nor asked if we have maybe preferences or anything. Just bring the menu> wait until called> take time> bring one drink> then bring the next. It really bothered me when one of our drinks came first and then the other came after 10 mins. First drink was served by hand and next one was served with a tray.... Not consistent with service standards. For a luxury bar that you are paying roughly 15 euros for a drink the service was not great. Had better expectations.

    One of the best bars in Vienna! The drinks are made extremely qualitative and you feel like you’re in a different time zone, with the atmospheric American inspired music. We loved the drinks as much as the service. Definitely worth a visit!

    Fancy bar where the noise level is adequate to have a conversation. Hugh choice of cocktails and really friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and comfy sofa. it's a perfect place for a couples night out. Plus, 5 stars for the clean toilet.

    I struggle to find words to describe my amazement from this place. It is, I think, as you are seated and recieve the menu consisting of dozens and dozens of pages, when you realize, you are visiting a truly special bar. I pride myself on being a classic cocktail enthusiast and I just couldn’t think of a Classic cocktail, they wouldn't offer. With dimmed lighting and carefully picked color palette, the interior begs to stay in for hours. The seats are comfortable, the music is pleasant (I recall some James Brown songs) and the atmosphere is just perfect. Unlike in many other bars in Vienna, I didn’t feel judged here. The staff, though not precisely rushed, is very well educated, always smiles and acts in a friendly manner and has loads of patience even for the most of indecisive guests like myself. Oh and the drinks; I think it goes without saying, but they were splendid as well. I treated myself with brandy alexander, vieux carré and one of the many offered martini variations. They were prepared in a matter of seconds, served into chilled glasses, and overall very pleasant to drink. I think I would even go as far as saying, this is the best bar I've ever been to. I spent around 40€ for the three drinks I've had and I will never regret a single cent from those. This place is an absolute go to in Vienna and deserves way more recognition than what it currently receives.

    The fully rebuilt and designed American style bar is situated in a less crowded area of a popular district, but still very easy to find. By entering the bar area, one will feel immediately in the late twentieth century New York, with stylish furniture and Sinatra type music. The drinks are very good and sitting at the bar area we received the best service. Prices are noticeably lower to the touristic places, but the quality of the drinks are very high. There is a smokers' room also available for the ones who want to combine a drink with a cigar... A must-go for fans of American style bars.

    One of my favourite bars in Vienna - courteous staff, classy and beautiful ambience topped with an incredibly huge selection of cocktails and none of them ever disappointed me - no matter if with or without alcohol. 10/10 recommend!

    Loved this place. We went when it had just opened and we're able to chat with our waiter and the bartender a bit. They were so nice and fun to talk to. The drinks were absolutely out of this world. I could have sat there all day every day on our vacation and been happy. They were such unique and creative mixtures that i wanted to try them all. The book of cocktails is intimidating/impressive because it's so vast. It took me a while to pick out what I wanted and even then had to ask our waiter which of my narrowed down selection was the best to start with. Needless to say there is a drink for everyone here. The decor was the next thing I couldn't get over. I was obsessed with it all. The colors the textures and the lighting was just amazing! Even if you stop in for just one drink it is worth it to experience the creativity of the drinks and decor. Next time we visit we hope to stay in their hotel so we can appreciate their style even more and have easy access to this fabulous bar.

    A funky place. Can't say I loved it, but I did really enjoy the cocktails. Service was great and the atmosphere isn't bad, it's just very particular. The cocktail menu is extremely thorough and the execution was neat and very good. Nothing extravagant. All in all, I'll be back whenever I want a good cocktail.

    I had an amazing experience at Barfly's Club! This cocktail bar offers an extensive selection of cocktails, ranging from classic to incredibly innovative and extravagant versions. The retro ambiance, creates a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. As soon as you step inside, you are transported back in time, with music from Frank Sinatra evoking the glorious days of the Rat Pack. I felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed the unique vibe. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a trip down memory lane while savoring some exceptional cocktails!

    I love it! A real bar, inside an hotel (you can enter also if you are not a guest) where you can taste a good (very good!) cocktail. The perfect atmosphere for a drink. Top quality. A large choice for each variety.

    I love this place. Very stylish with great atmosphere and customer service. They serve unbelievably good cocktails. I tried for instance Royal White Russian and it was amazing, one of the best I ever had. I will visit this place everytime I have the opportunity.

    Nice bar, Nice crew.. Nice selection.. Cocktails or whisky..? You are the right place..

  • 4/5 Jason T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool layout and vibe. Overall a positive experience but unfortunately the drinks weren't as good as the other bars we were at. The cocktail offering seems more quantity (of options) over quality (uniqueness, experience in making etc.,)

  • 5/5 Marine J. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere in this bar is incredible. Rich jewel tones on the walls and the velvet furniture, great retro music, and the largest cocktail selection I have ever seen. Had a fantastic time. Highly recommend

    Amazing cocktails, knowledgeable and friendly staff, good music, huge selection of ingredients. What more could you want?

  • 5/5 Sandra L. 6 years ago on Google
    Very good cocktails. They have an incredibly big selection of alcohols and cocktails. The staff is very friendly and helpful, atmosphere is very nice. Unfortunately, the smoking area has the nicer ambiance but that doesn’t hurt the charm.

  • 2/5 Weronika K. 2 years ago on Google
    Drinks were quite ok. Pure service, there wasn't enough chairs for all my friends spite of reservations. Such a pity :(

  • 4/5 Piotr N. 6 months ago on Google
    Pretty huge bar, so it's quite noisy. Enormous selection of cocktails and huge selections of whiskies. There are also some rums (pretty decent selection too), brandies, gins and tequilas. There are some impressive old and rare whiskies, but with prices for dram going even above 200€.

  • 1/5 Bella J. 5 months ago on Google
    Venue was a bit too dark, but very nice. However the barmen and waiters completely overlooked me and my friend who were on holiday in Vienna. One waiter was outright rude when asking for our drinks, and because we ordered non alcoholic, I could feel like judgement exuding from the staff. We were shoved to sit in the corner of the bar, unable to get out to go to the toilet or even to leave. This is due to terribly bad design. It took 6 attempts to ask for the bill and we didn’t even get any free pretzels unlike the 4 men sitting next to us (we are female). The only nice staff were the cloakroom staff whom really should be higher up as good customer service is not something that this company knows well.

    The best bar I’ve ever been! Great cocktails great ambience friendly staff! If you go to Vienna you must visit this great place

  • 2/5 Lucía R. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been there a couple of times but this last one was extremely disappointing. Very poor service and the quality of cocktails very much decreased!! Besides, ice cubes are awful, seems like ice you would make home.

😐 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.
