2 Best Bars in Vienna, Austria

In the MuseumsQuartier, this café-bar is hidden inside the large, white cube that is the Leopold Museum. Tables are scattered outside on the plaza at night, and in summer the restaurant vibe morphs into a bar and trendy hangout in the evenings.

While most visitors come to Vienna for its elegant and grand coffeehouses, you should not miss an opportunity for a coffee or beer at a less prim and polished local institution like Café Malipop. This quirky, no frills spot has been open since 1979 and it is as much revered for its divebar warmth and abundance of character as for its excellent vinyl collection and strict owner, Frau Margit, who has a set of rules (i.e., no kissing) which must be followed by patrons.
