There’s nowhere better to enjoy a cup of coffee than in one of Vienna’s world-famous coffeehouses. But not everyone knows that there are numerous excellent locations exclusively for the LGBT + community and their friends to enjoy. Vienna’s excellent bar and cafe scene is right up there at the top of the list of the world’s worst kept secrets.
Here is a selection of venues for you to try.
Café Savoy – a traditional eye catching Viennese coffee house dating back to imperial times. There is a colorful flea market at the Naschmarkt on Saturdays, for which the Savoy opens early.
Fett + Zucker – has become a permanent fixture on the scene. This small espresso bar in the second district offers outstanding cakes, with vegan, gluten-, and lactose-free options.
Village Bar – with a relaxed and communicative crowd, friendly waiters and tasty drinks ensure that this side street bar is very popular, and that the guests are just as sociable.
Felixx – open daily in the lower Gumpendorferstraße in the sixth district, it scores points with its grandiose ambiance and great music, from pop hits to house.
Kisss Bar Vienna – serving drinks and food: from carpaccio to Kasnudeln (Carinthian cheese pasta) and the Kisss burger, the menu is packed with all sorts of treats. An unusual feature of the bar is the “Art Corner” (Kunst Corner): a pop-up store which can be rented by artists.
Sling – popular cruising bar among visitors and locals with a small bar next to the entrance and a large cruising area downstairs. There are a lot of theme parties each week.
Eagle Bar – one of the oldest gay leather & jeans bars of Austria and a hotspot for the Viennese gay scene. They are often closed during our trips for vacation. Please check before going.
