I was here twice during my stay in Vienna. The first time was pretty early during happy hour and I…read morewas the only one in there. I had just arrived in the city and wanted a beer nearby. The bartender was really friendly and was a good source of information for the city. The 2nd time I stopped by was on a Monday night. For a Monday night it had a pretty good crowd there. Of course they were mostly very young. After a few beers I took off as I felt a bit old for the crowd there. I can see this place being very popular for someone in the right age group.

We stumbled into this pub on New Year's Day. The bartender was extremely helpful. Though there was…read moreno food available we enjoyed several beers. We were the only patrons in the pub for a while so it was nice to sit down and converse. I do love how they have the smoking and non-smoking sections fully separated by a door. There is a really cool nook in this bar. It looks like an old library with couches.

The Highlander is a quality pub with a quality atmosphere. Came on St. Patrick's Day and it was some great craic! The employees are very attentive to keeping the joint clean and apt to catching you if you need anything and they speak English! Prices are pretty standard compared to the rest of the area and I have yet to try the food. You also can't beat free WiFi! Great place to go to after class with some friends and sometimes they have a live band playing, if not, they got some quality play lists going. So drop by and grab a few, because you might find yourself sticking around for another hour or so!

A decent Australian pub located in the 6th district. It's far enough from all of the touristy areas…read moreto keep the clientele completely locals. They have three rooms: a nonsmoking area (to the right when you enter) that can be rented out for private functions, a main bar area (to the left), and a basement bar. My biggest complaint with this place is that both the main bar and the basement bar get really really smoky. They must not have any ventilation to help air out the place and it gets to be a but too much for me after awhile. The barkeepers are friendly and the beer cold, so it's not all bad if you don't mind the smoke.

This place was fun! But actually, it was the company that was great, versus the bar itself, so even…read morethough my experience was 4 stars, it wouldn't be a true rating of the actual spot. I wanted to see what else was going on at night after the film & food fest I attended winded down for the evening, and I remember I saw it listed as a cool Aussie bar on one of the hostel guides. After I got off the subway, I couldn't figure out which direction to go to. Luckily, I ran into 5 or 6 English-friendly students who were also on their way there, and after grabbing a couple of cans from a hotdog stand, we all headed down to Down Under. It was late Saturday night, and wasn't busy at all. The group was celebrating a friend's birthday, and several more of their party was already there (I think their group of 15 or 18 made up the bulk of the patrons there). They said its one of their fav hangouts, and often meet up there to have a pint or two and play a few rounds of foosball while watching whatever game was on. The bar's an average no-frills pub. The decor's hard to remember, it was pretty dim in there, but everything is wood, and wooded booths alongside the walls. They had generic alternative music playing (maybe Nickelback? Isn't it always Nickelback??), and a jukebox that would randomly play a selection. Everyone including the bartender was friendly, relaxed, and just chill. I can't tell if this place normally gets packed or not. It's a bit out of the way from a lot of the other nightlife in the triangle (which is where we ended up afterwards), but they definitely have a regular following. If you want to hang out with a few nice locals, and don't want to do anything more than grab a glass of beer or two before heading in for the evening, this place will work out just swimmingly. :)

Had an amazing time at this bar. Super friendly bar and amazing service, make sure to ask for Anne!read more

I have never come across anything like this in the UK and I love it!!!…read more Get a few of your friends together and head down to Brot & Spiele for a night of boardgame fun and beer! The concept is simple: reserve a table for you and your mates, choose a boardgame (they even have retro ones!) and play the night away. Very cool. For me it beats partying in Vienna. Remember the instructions will be in German so if you don't speak the language best play it safe and pick a game you're sure you remember how to play! We made that mistake and ended up making up our own rules to Cluedo...We laughed a lot. They serve bar snacks like "brot" which is toasted bread with toppings kind of like a "toastie" to you Brits. I really like the service as well, the guy was cool and spoke English to us recommending beers and other drinks to us. Looking forward to going back - If I was you I'd reserve a table. Not sure about a weeknight but we went on a Saturday and it was full.

To be honest, before I actually went there, I expected that this will be a place for nerds who…read morespend their days playing games (the Big Bang Theory style), I was soooo wrong, because I realised that this is a perfectly normal bar, just with the nice addition of loads of games. My highlight of the evening - after playing a few board games, I realised that there is also a possibilty to play table football in a hidden corner :) The one and only bartender/waiter was very nice, but I had a feeling that she was a bit overwhelmed by the crowds in the bar (one more staff memember would be nice). Also sometimes it was tricky for her to bring people their food orders, since the place can get very full and it is not always easy to pass everyone with a bowl of soup or other dishes without dropping something on the floor... .. But this is of course not the waiter's fault, it's just that it can be a bit tight sometimes.
