    Pretty high end, very American like service. You pay for it, but it is worth it for the wonderful ambiance, service, and drinks. Have an EXTENSIVE menu (76 pages!!) To order from! Quiet place to talk, and we went on a Thursday night when there was live piano music after 9PM and it was lovely. Also had a non smoking portion separated with a door and could still hear the piano great. Would definitely recommend for a nice date night or if you're looking for a nice place to take your parents.

    Lovely bar with great atmosphere in a hidden celler. Frank Sinatra's pictures hanging everywhere and a bar around the piano. We went after dinner here and we all loved it a very relaxing place to enjoy ones cocktails. Best of all is that the music 🎶 isn't loud and one can have a normal conversation without having to shout. The service is great over 70 varieties of cocktails 🍹🍸🥃. A must go to place. We'll be going again and again.

    4.5* I'm subjective because I was waiting for a bar like this in a great city as Vienna. It's an old school bar, reasonable prices, mostly nice people. Good drinks but do not go with high expectations.

    Feels like a spot on the upper east side of Manhattan. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Has a strange nostalgia for me as a New Yorker but I didn't have a strong opinion either way. Drinks were just ok. Nothing special. Too sweet. The selection of top shelf is decent enough.

    Very rude barman, was not willing to show me the whiskey bottle of which I just ordered and paid (with tip), for 2 drams ans some others drinks. Nice whiskey, decent selection and prices, incredible arrogant barman that spoiled the end of nice night in town. Once, but never again.

    Rude & hypocritical owner. I forgot to wear a mask when I got up for the loo he rudely (also was pointing his finger at me) told me to wear a mask. I immediately apologised & wore my mask. I then realised that he wasn't wearing a mask and I asked it'll be nice if he wore one too & he said he doesn't have to(without explaining why). I asked why, and he said he's away from customers(although he was making the drinks & the bar chairs were next to him, but it was empty at that time, so I didn't argue). Later, I saw a few people sitting next to him while he was making drinks for him(all without mask). When the bill came I asked the waitress if she could give me an email for the manager, I explained her the issue & she mentioned that the guy was the owner & there was no point of me sending that email. I later asked why he didn't follow the rules & she mentioned that it was his friend sitting there. I explained to her that it's double standards. They don't follow rules for themselves & treat the customers rudely. They didn't use no sorry or please words. The owner has a lot of ego & is a hypocrite person. I'm never going there again.

    Nice bar with great cocktails. Wouldn't call it hip, more a relaxed vibe. No outside space, so more suitable for cold/rainy evenings.

  • 5/5 Moritz M. 3 months ago on Google • 163 reviews New
    Located in the basement, great atmosphere and super good service.

  • 5/5 Norbert P. 3 years ago on Google
    An overly exclusive bar in Vienna's heart! A short 2 minute walk from Stephansplatz through the beautiful alleys of the first district and voilà, you're at Nightfly's American Bar, where you meet a exceedingly prolific bartender and experience a laid-back, and an American touched atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Dan B. 5 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Extensive cocktail list and extremely attentive service. With pianist and separate areas for smokers and non-smokers. Would recommend. 11€ for a cocktail, strong and tasty.

  • 5/5 Review G. 4 years ago on Google
    Best American Bar in the first district. Accomodates any cocktail wishes you might have. Really nice atmosphere. Always had a nice non-smoker area, but now that all smoking indoors is banned in Vienna the entire bar is smoke-free yet still has a distinct smell of a cigar-smoking bar and only improved as a consequence. Great staff doing great recommendations. Regularly has live piano music playing. Prices are relatively high but good for what you get. Good for: People who want to have a cocktail in a pretty, cozy, darkened atmosphere in a traditional bar style with velvet chairs and wooden style elements. Bad for: People who like a modern style of interior.

  • 5/5 Lilia V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very easygoing place with a nice atmosphere and lots of choice (the cocktail menu is 77 pages long). I had the Charlie Chaplin and then the Mary Pickford, while my partner had a Blood and Sand and then a Blue Moon. Will be back again one day.

  • 5/5 Valentin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Bar, very classic American style, probably the best cocktails in Vienna and a very handsome Barkeeper.

  • 1/5 Ekaterina R. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst cocktails ever. Overpriced. Seems like they are making them not with natural ingredients, but rather with artificial Flavours and syrups. Cannot recommend

  • 4/5 Michael M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a huge selection of whiskey. Pretty good prices. Nice staff. Speakeasy atmosphere which is exactly what I want from these places. I usually places with really formal service and better snacks, but just peanuts, but it's still a go to place from now on.

😐 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.
