The Sign Lounge Vienna

Fantastic cocktails in Alsergrund

Christopher from Vienna

""The Sign Lounge" in Vienna is a true local gem of a bar. I'm not a cocktail guy, but the ones they make here are my favourites. Twice voted as Best..."

The Sign Lounge in the 9th district is the epitome of the local gem. Hidden high up on Liechtensteinstrasse, this place is definitely a get-away from the tourist crowds.

And the cocktails are nothing short of amazing.

Take this for what it's worth: I am not generally a cocktail guy, but I am extremely and continuously impressed by the quality, variety, and creativity of The Sign. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is snazzy without being overbearing, and the cocktails... well, they speak for themselves.

Twice voted by Mixology Magazine as Austria's best bar, The Sign has an impressive pedigree to go along with the atmosphere. Moreover, the intrepid & innovative owner, Kan Zuo, was voted Bartender of the Year in 2015 by Falstaff.

The bar is locally well known, so it is not a bad idea to get a reservation on a weekend night. But whatever night of the week, it would be hard to go wrong with a seat at this locale.

Vienna Spotter Christopher

About me I am a born and raised Californian who wandered to Europe initially to Ireland for college and then again for a job in 2008 and stuck around, first in Switzerland and now in Austria. I love language, travel, and culture and spending time with people from as many different places as possible. Travel to me is more than a feet-only wading pool, but something to dive as deeply into as time and resources allow. Perhaps that is why I end up staying longer in the places I go to. Why Vienna? Vienna is an absolute amazing place to live, almos...

Central Cemetery

Celebrating death

The "Central Cemetery" in Vienna, or Zentralfriedhof, is so huge & extravagannt that it has its own internal bus route. Many famous people are buried here.

Cafe Nest

Like a birds' nest

"Cafe Nest" in Vienna actually reminds me of a bird's nest: it's small, self-made and super-cozy. Music quizzes, pizza, exhibitions... Super cheap, too.

Chelsea

Football and gigs unite

"Chelsea" in Vienna can be described as a mixture between a nightclub and a medium-scale gig venue. It's also, weirdly, a very good & popular sports bar!

Bars

"Hüftgold" is 'probably the smallest patisserie in Vienna'. All of their cakes are cut in twelve pieces, based on the 12th district, where it's located...
