Wienbar

Wienbar is exactly what its name suggests: a Vienna bar, gay-oriented, and operating with the relaxed efficiency that the city's best neighbourhood venues achieve. The 6th district location puts it within easy walking distance of the Naschmarkt and the Gürtelbogen arches, making it a natural starting point for an evening that might move in several directions. The bar is smaller than the major venues and more intimate — the kind of place where you can hear yourself think and have a proper conversation, which is not always the case in the more purpose-built club environments. The crowd is gay and gay-friendly, the staff are genuinely welcoming, and the prices are fair for the neighbourhood. Wienbar is the bar you find after a couple of evenings in Vienna, when you know enough about the scene to want something with less tourist traffic and more local character — and it delivers on that expectation without trying too hard.
