    Here for a glass of wine and one Apfelstrudel. The service was very attentive. The ambience is the best. The strudel was really good and the Riesling outstanding. Definitely recommended.

    You will find a beautiful Art Deco Bar inside of Hotel Bristol 🏨 🍸 It's located at Vienna's Ringstrasse close to State Opera. The comfy and elegant Interior Design is pretty nice. Great Service from the Staff 💛 Have a look at the fine Interior Design in the Entrance Hall.

    Good food but not great considering the prices, especially the eye watering 36 euros per head for breakfast. Guests at the hotel would be better off going elsewhere for a better value meal

    Excellent staff and drinks 🍹 super discrete and fine atmosphere. This bar should be always on your list to visit, if you’re in Vienna.

    The category of the place is well reflected in the pricing, for which you'd expect an excellent service and great food - one DOES NOT get either of the two. From the start, the orders were confused, which defies the purpose of dining as a company with some eating and some patiently observing. The 30EUR mushroom ravioli are two (!) pitiful circles filled with shredded remains of something that barely resembles mushrooms in taste, served lukewarm. Some of the dishes do not even closely resemble the description - the vegan BBQ comprised of a small steamed tofu slice, a picked cauliflower brunch and cold carrots in a sauce - all sized so that to leave more space to the whiteness of the plate rather than the food itself. The most dissatisfying restaurant experience in a long while. Would not recommend.

    Very good food and great beer but one the worse services.. Hotels and restaurants are always known for hospitality but it's missing completely.. wouldn't be visiting or recommending due to attitude

    Stylish cocktail bar with perfectly made drinks. They have gluten-free bread and the club sandwich was perfect.

    Beautiful & stylish bar tucked away within the Hotel Bristol. Very cosy and a great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and knowledgable, suggesting a variety of cocktails based on our preferred spirits. Fantastic array of snacks too! Would visit again 😁

    Disappointed to be disappointed really, the place looks quite beautiful but that is where the positive stops. The cocktail list is extensive, probably to a fault. We had to wait 25-30 minutes for our first 2 cocktails to come, not without following up on the waiter. One Amaretto Alexander was somewhat unpleasant with a medicine taste but we won't take this into account as it's an original creation, the Black Jack on the other hand was truly a miss and I mean undrinkable. I think it might be my first time ever sending back a cocktail but this watered-down espresso with a dash of brandy was truly a horror. I got an Amaretto South in place, something safe or so I thought. 25 minutes later, still after following up on its arrival, the drink is here and it's really far from what it is supposed to be. Not shaken, no sugar syrup, and overall still a taste of medicine (for the Aussies out there, it tasted like Berocca with a dash of alcohol). I didn't want to make a fuss so I drank my $30 lemon Gatorade. Ultimately we left and after chasing up the bill a couple of times, they wanted to charge us for the Black Jack, in fact the bartender came up saying that "if you buy a car and get a car you have to pay for it", I get the analogy except what we got was really poor mixology, his ego might have been bruised in the process. I had to get argumentative but didn't say anything about the Amaretto Sour so as to not upset him further. Overall the quality of cocktails is just downright bad, possibly due to an overly ambitious list, the service is really cheap and slow for an establishment that tries to be up-market. Come for a look, maybe a glass of wine, don't forget to bring patience with you 😁

    The Bristol Bar is a cozy spot to meet friends, and make new friends. The cocktails are carefully crafted and wonderful . They are not in a hurry to push anyone out the door. Stephan is a wonderful bartender. Locals and tourists alike love the Bristol Bar in this historic hotel across from the Vienna Opera House.

    Not a great food menu. A very little selection. Fine if you are a red meat eater ONLY. Lovely restaurant very classy, I had a chicken salad made - it would have been nice if they had offered me extra chicken as it was not much a very small portion of chicken.

    (Translated by Google) It's cozy, you can - if there is enough free space - even choose whether you want to sit on the couch, in the armchair or on a straight chair, all in the restaurant, at ground level, no matter if you come in from the ring. There is a floor covering that absorbs noise and dampens treads, matches the interior in the colors, but is neither patterned nor made of precious material. The service has character! You can have a little argument here if you do not like something, you are customer-friendly, but everything is very polite, discreet and not daunting. The great winding marble columns to the left and right of the fireplace in the restaurant are worthwhile eye-catchers. Unfortunately, a brochure with the history of the house of Bristol is missing from the menu at the beginning or at the reception, you are compensated by 2 old oil portraits of Prince Ferdinand and Princess Marie -..., I think I remember. The story of the importance of the house in connection with these personalities would certainly be interesting. (Original) Es ist gemütlich, man kann - wenn noch genug frei ist - sogar wählen, ob man auf der Couch, im Fauteuil, oder auf einem geraden Stuhl sitzen will, alles im Restaurant, ebenerdig, gleich wenn man vom Ring hereinkommt. Es gibt eine Bodenbespannung, die Lärm absorbierend und trittdämpfend wirkt, in den Farben zum Interieur paßt, aber weder gemustert ist, noch aus kostbarem Stoff ist. Die Bedienung hat Charakter! Man darf hier einen kleinen Disput führen, wenn einem etwas nicht gefällt, man ist ja kundenfreundlich, aber alles sehr höflich, dezent und nicht abschreckend. Die tollen gewundenen Marmorsäulen links und rechts vom Kamin im Restaurant sind lohnende Hingucker. Leider fehlt in der Speisekarte zu Beginn oder bei der Rezeption eine Broschüre mit der Entstehungsgeschichte des Hauses Bristol, entschädigt wird man durch 2 alte Ölportraits von Prinz Ferdinand und Prinzessin Marie-..., glaube ich mich zu erinnern. Die Geschichte zur Bedeutung des Hauses im Zusammenhang mit diesen Persönlichkeiten wäre sicher interessant.

    We were staying at the Bristol Hotel and visited the restaurant several times for breakfast. Breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes, with a special live station for making various egg dishes. Waiters were very kind every time, and the good thing is that there is free champagne at breakfast.

    Albeit a bit pricy, this bar was enchanting. Definitely worth the extra couple Euros. From the velvet couches to the wood paneled walls, the "American bar" exudes classic luxury. I have no complaints.

  • 2/5 Emma O. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely cocktails but awful service. Requested a menu for food and didn't recieve a menu. Asked again 45 minutes later to finally have some service. Ordered food and it didn't arrive. Ended up leaving to go somewhere else. Atmosphere was lovely, cocktails was great, but didn't recieve food so can't comment on that

    Many years since I had coffee and cake at the Bristol. The whole lobby etc has been completely renovated beautifully, albeit in a rather standardised style. Slightly decrepit as the old Bristol was, there was the feel of walking into the 19th century, which the new lounge obviously doesn't. However, it does have working fireplace! The cake selection could improve.

    Quality drinks in cosy classic Bar. Located at the Hotel Bristol next to the Vienna State Opera – smoking and non-smoking – cosy-exquisite atmosphere. Star architect Pierre-Yves Rochon has also interpreted at the Bristol Bar the Art Déco style of the house fresh and unconventional, which is reflected in the gently-cognac-colored ceiling as well as on the stylish and sassy carpet in leopard print.

    (Translated by Google) My first visit to the Bristol Lounge was very nice. You are served very well as soon as you enter the lounge. I was allowed to choose a place because there was not much going on. I sat down right in front of the fireplace and was able to totally relax in the lounge after a stressful day. Very good coffee quality Of course, more expensive than you are used to, but definitely worth it. (Original) Mein erster Besuch in der Bristol Lounge war sehr schön. Schon beim betreten der Lounge wird man sehr gut bedient. Ich durfte mir einen Platz aussuchen da nicht viel los war. Ich habe mich gleich vor dem Kamin hingesetzt und konnte in der Lounge nach einen stressigen Tag total entspannen. Sehr gute Kaffequalität Natürlich teurer als man es gewohnt ist aber es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
