    My boyfriend wanted to order shots for our table at the bar and the bartenders sent hin away without an explanation. I went to the bar to ask what has happened and they answered very aggressively that they wouldn't serve to drunks. My bf was ordering in English and I suspect they couldn't understand him properly because in the bar was very loud so they decided he was "a drunk". When I said that's not very nice of them to behave like this they told me "in Vienna it's not about being nice" and that I can leave if that's not fine for me. Well, I guess the beautiful city of Vienna needs less such bartenders and bars! Would definitely NOT recommend! P.S. there are plenty of nice bars around that served us and we had a great time around :)

    Pretty disappointing. I don't know what the fuss is about. It's a dingy, small place. Dull and boring. Boring music, nothing to be wowed about. The worst thing about the place are the toilets. For a "trendy" place, you think they would have enough toilet paper. The drinks were good, but nothing special. I won't be going there again and certainly would not recommend it to a friend.

    Interesting place but the waitstaff wouldn’t even give us a menu despite the place being empty…. Awkward

    Great cocktails, but atmosphere is lacking. This is a dark place, barely lit and blank, black walls and loud hip hop - more conducive to a rave than a place to relax and enjoy a cocktail..

    This place attracts a younger crowd. Variety of cocktails available for a premium price. Cocktails are average in my taste. Toilets are atrocious. Waiters are friendly and service is quick. Nice place to catch up with friends. Also it's not too loud.

    Horrible service, horrible experience. Although the place wasn’t packed we were ignored and we just left after some time.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting If Dogs Run Free, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. However, it was the bartender, Chris, who truly made this visit unforgettable. Chris, a male bartender with an extraordinary talent, is a shining star at If Dogs Run Free. His expertise in mixology is simply unparalleled, and his ability to create unique flavor combinations is nothing short of remarkable. Each drink was a masterpiece, meticulously prepared with precision and care. What sets Chris apart from other bartenders is his infectious enthusiasm and genuine interest in his customers. He took the time to listen attentively to my preferences, making personalized recommendations that perfectly suited my taste. His extensive knowledge of spirits, ingredients, and techniques was truly impressive, and he was more than happy to share his expertise, educating me about the art of mixology. But it wasn't just his technical skills that made Chris exceptional. His warm and engaging personality created an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship. He effortlessly struck a perfect balance between professionalism and creating a welcoming environment. Chris seemed to possess an innate ability to make everyone feel valued and important, going above and beyond to ensure that each guest had an unforgettable experience. Beyond his mixology prowess, Chris displayed a remarkable sense of empathy and understanding. He seemed to anticipate the needs of each customer, providing personalized attention and ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. It was as if he had an intuitive sense of what each person required, making them feel like the most important person in the room. In summary, my visit to If Dogs Run Free was made extraordinary by the presence of Chris, the male bartender whose exceptional skills, passion, and warmth left an indelible mark on my experience. He is undoubtedly a gem in the world of mixology, and his ability to create a perfect blend of flavors is truly remarkable. I cannot recommend If Dogs Run Free and Chris enough. If you're seeking an unforgettable evening of expertly crafted cocktails, exceptional service, and a genuinely delightful atmosphere, this is the place to go. Trust me; Chris's talent and his unwavering commitment to providing an outstanding experience will leave you wanting to return time and time again.

    This place was alright. Nothing will blow you away. Cocktails are a little too sweet, negronis are premixed which is a mistake. Vibe is alright, fun enough. Doesn't deserve a 3, doesn't quite deserve a 4, but there we are. Would easily go again, but not enthusiastically.

    Very nice place, tasty cocktails and cool music. The only negative thing that is dark but everything else is great:)

  • 1/5 Eric T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude staff. Our party of four arrived and asked about sitting at an open table and were told it was not available. As we stood by the door waiting for something to open the staff member looked over at us from across the room and motioned to us in a very rude way that nothing was available. So we left.

    Pims Cup Karaffe! 10/10, would recommend. Nice location, friendly staff. Go for it!

    Excellent cocktails and great atmosphere

  • 4/5 Lee L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks with great variety. Place was completely empty at 22:30 which seemed strange to us, and gave us a weird vibe. Other than that very nice

  • 2/5 Glen C. 2 years ago on Google
    No atmosphere and the cocktails were terrible. Just a concrete structure inside with a painted roof.

  • 4/5 Thomas L. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Cocktails and longdrinks and very friendly - yet unfortunately way too few- waiting staff. The place was very crowded (and for good reason as the cocktails are truly excellent!) but there seemed to be only one waitress around. The poor woman did her very best to keep up and stayed really friendly through it all, but it was clear to see that an additional one or two waiters or waitresses could have gone a long way towards making the experience even more enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Alex S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good cocktails and nice vibe. Service could be a bit faster.

  • 5/5 Jacob C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic drinks and very friendly staff. Highly recommend coming here if you enjoy cocktails.

  • 3/5 Kai K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good cocktails, although the celery in my Bloody Mary was not so fresh and service rather slow.

  • 5/5 Sandra Mihelič J. 5 years ago on Google
    The drinks were great - the long drink I had was pretty strong so it was a good value for the money you pay. The visual appearance of the cocktail was also pretty interesting.

  • 4/5 Ashley M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice drinks, with a lot of different options to chose from, and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Michiel 4 years ago on Google
    A lot of care is put into the cocktails and are perfectly mixed. Price per drink is medium.
