Anton-Neumayr-Platz 2; 8am-1am Sun-Thu, to 4am Fri & Sat)
One of Salzburg's most happening haunts, this backlit lounge-bar opens onto a popular
terrace on the square. By night, DJs spin to a 20-something, cocktail-sipping crowd in the
club. Check the website for free events from jazz, Latin and swing breakfasts to weekly
salsa nights (9pm on Tuesdays).
StieglKeller
(Festungsgasse 10; 11am-midnight Mon-Sat, 10am-midnight Sun)
For a 365-day taste
of Oktoberfest, try this cavernous Munich-style beer hall, which shares the same architect
as Munich's Hofbräuhaus. It has an enormous garden above the city's rooftops and a
meaty menu (snacks €6.50 to €11.50). Beer is cheapest from the self-service taps outside.
Rollicking events include Sunday morning's post-church, pre-lunch
Frühschoppen
and
Thursday evening's
Brauchtumsabend
, when Austrian bands bash out jaunty folk num-
bers.
BEER HALL
Die Weisse
(
www.dieweisse.at
; Rupertgasse 10; pub 10.30am-midnight Mon-Sat, Sudwerk bar
5pm-4am Mon-Sat)
The cavernous brewpub of the Salzburger Weissbierbrauerei, this is
the place to guzzle cloudy wheat beers in the wood-floored pub and the shady beer garden
out back. DJs work the decks in Sudwerk bar, especially at the monthly Almrausch when
locals party in skimpy dirndls and strapping lederhosen.
PUB
Steinterrasse
(Giselakai 3; 3pm-midnight Sun-Thu, to 1am Fri & Sat)
Hotel Stein's chichi 7th-floor
terrace attracts Salzburg's Moët-sipping socialites and anyone who loves a good view. It
isn't cheap, but it is the best spot to see the Altstadt light up against the theatrical back-
drop of the fortress.
