😠 Sat next to a neo-nazis meeting in the bar, which was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. I would ask of everyone to never ever go there and support this establishment. People often mention beer, Wiener, good, Lokal, great, Vienna, service, nicht, Viennese, Bendl,

    An old viennese classic. smoke, beer and a jukebox. something before or after a night out. During the week or on weekends. The new owners are not as cool and attentive as the old ones but that's how it is.

    I don’t know what to say. As Americans, we call this place a “dive bar” but we do so as a term of endearment. The bartender could not possibly have made us feel more welcomed. Ask for the Koks. It’s a shot of cheap dark rum served with coffee beans and sugar cubes. You chew on the sugar and coffee beans and then wash it all down with the rum. All I can say is it tastes like Christmas. If you’re lucky, your bartender will be Anita.

    This pub is where the local branch of the Far Right meet up. Enjoy if that's your thing - also, they throw beer mats. Nein danke.

    One of my most favorite cafes ever. Smoking allowed. Food and drinks are great. Relaxing ambiance with the vintage & retro atmosphere. ❤

    At first sight, the place was like traveling through past, with its vintage stuff everywhere. The treatment of the waitress was good, and the things that we ordered were super, specially the rum shot with sugar and coffee grains. Totally recommended! Also, I have to advise that, in the first moments, we were a bit uncomfortable, because people throws the beer mats to everyone. Our Austrian friend told us that it was almost like a tradition, so we followed people, and, at the end, we had so much fan!

    a journey through time, a taste of mid 20th century café in Vienna, with virtually nothing changed inside since. its a must!

    Very cosy local bar (conveniently near my hotel), untroubled by tourists (except me). The clientele is mostly under 30, but the barmaid is closer to my age (let's say, mature). The locals were having great fun with the jukebox, which plays real 7-inch vinyl records. I recognised about one in five of the songs. I had a pint of Puntigamer.

    We were drinking steadily throughout the night, having a great time and playing cards. Suddenly the bartender comes up to us and aggressively tells us we have to put away the cards? So we did and later I went up to her to ask her why. She told me that when people play cards they don’t order anymore, which I found ridiculous. We ordered quite enough and the place wasn’t even full! Would never come back here, the most bizarre thing that has ever happened to me in a bar.

    Very classic viennese bar. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very special. I love to go there because its always a fun time. One of the best places in vienna to experience the viennese culture and the prices are extremely fair.

    Cafe is possibly a misnomer as it is in fact a bar, and does not do food. It has become a favourite of ours from around midnight for having a couple of beers and a Koks - the house speciality (coffee beans crunched and then a shot of Inländer Rum and a sugar cube soaked in it). The jukebox is very old school, the bar undecorated possibly since the 80s. Character-packed.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad I'm not a narrow-minded racist. I would love to raise my right hand to the slogans of the mindless "nostalgics" who occupy most of this place. PS: You have lost!

  • 5/5 Ulrich H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A Viennese original. Quaint innkeepers, quaint furnishings and the beer mats fly that it's a pleasure. Signature drink is the so-called "coke" - you can also try it if you feel like a sustainable experience. If you are bothered by the reviews of members of a fraternity as guests and knock out 1-star ratings, you should check your own tolerance compass. Live and let live, this motto fits very well for the Bendl. From clever minds to spinners of all stripes, everything is represented there. The discussion in the personal discourse makes the Bendl so incredibly entertaining (a WU student wanted to explain to me that the earth was flat) and unique. Conclusion: Here the evening will be surprising and fun, the "Mimimi, there are fellow" people will not go out. (Original) Ein Wiener Original. Urige Wirtsleute, urige Einrichtung und die Bierdeckel fliegen, dass es eine Freude ist. Signature-Drink ist das sog. " Koks" - kann man auch mal probieren wenn man Lust auf ein nachhaltiges Erlebnis hat. Wer sich unter den Rezensenten an Mitgliedern einer Burschenschaft als Gäste stört und 1-Stern Bewertungen raus haut, der möge mal seinen eigenen Toleranzkompass überprüfen. Leben und leben lassen, dieses Motto passt nämlich sehr gut für das Bendl. Von klugen Köpfen bis Spinnern jedweder Couleur ist dort alles vertreten. Die Auseinandersetzung im persönlichen Diskurs macht das Bendl so unglaublich unterhaltsam (so wollte ein Student der WU mir erklären, dass die Erde flach sei) und einmalig. Fazit: Hier wird der Abend überraschend und lustig, die "Mimimi, da sind Burschis"-Leute gehen niemandem ab.

    (Translated by Google) Traditional Viennese bar. Don't be confused by the "café" in the name. This is not a Viennese café, but a nice little restaurant where you can be served until the early hours of the morning with a variety of drinks, some of which are specially created. A place you can't imagine Vienna without! (Original) Traditionelle Wiener Bar. Nicht durch das "Café" im Namen verwirren lassen. Es handelt sich hier nicht um ein Wiener Café, sonder um ein nettes kleines Lokal in dem man bis in die frühen Morgenstunden, mit diversen, auch eigens kreierten, Getränken, bedient wird. Ein nicht aus Wien wegzudenkendes Lokal!

    (Translated by Google) In itself great restaurant with a nice condition, I like to be there, but the Burschenschaften who march there daily are very questionable and strongly oriented to the right, makes the Bendl on duration unfortunately very unsympathetic!

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the reviews on right-wing visitors agree. In the course of the evening, the place became more and more filled with identities and fellow-travelers. We did not feel well and moved to a nearby pub. Too bad, but in the future I will dodge the place generously. (Original) Leider stimmen die Rezensionen zum Thema rechtsextreme Besucher. Das Lokal füllte sich im Laufe des Abends mehr und mehr mit Identitären und Gesinnungsgenossen. Wir fühlten uns nicht mehr wohl und wechselten in ein nahegelegenes Pub. Schade, aber in Zukunft werde ich dem Lokal großzügig ausweichen.
