hunger.
Strandbar Herrmann
BAR
( www.strandbarherrmann.at ; 03, Herrmannpark; 10am-2am Apr-early Oct; ; Schwedenplatz, O
Hintere Zollamstrasse) You'd swear you're by the sea at this hopping canalside beach bar, with
beach chairs, sand, DJ beats and hordes of Viennese livin' it up on hot summer evenings.
Films occasionally feature, blankets are available and if you get bored of lounging, you
can have a go at a game of boules.
Café Drechsler

COFFEE HOUSE
( www.cafedrechsler.at ; Linke Wienzeile 22; open 23hr, closed 2-3am; ; Kettenbrückengasse) One of
the liveliest coffee houses in town, Drechsler reopened with a smash after extensive
renovations (Sir Terence Conran worked his magic with polished marble bar and table
tops, Bauhaus light fixtures and whitewashed timber panels - stylish yet still distinctly
Viennese). As well as the usual coffee-house suspects, its Gulasch (goulash) is legendary.
In the evening the tunes the DJ spins seemingly change every few hours and always keep
the vibe upbeat and hip.
Tanzcafé Jenseits
MAP GOOGLE MAP
( www.tanzcafe-jenseits.com ; 06, Nelkengasse 3; 8pm-4am Tue-Sat; Neubaugasse) Bordello meets Bo-
hemian at this brothel-turned-bar, where soft lighting, red velvet and gilt mirrors keep the
mood intimate. Jenseits has left its insalubrious past behind and today packs in media and
arty types, who jostle for space on its tiny dance floor. The mercurial DJs flick from soul
to trashy pop tunes in the blink of an eye.

( www.rotebar.at ; 07, Neustiftgasse 1; 10pm-2am; Volkstheater) This marble-, chandelier- and
thick-red-velvet-curtain-bedecked space in the nether regions of the Volkstheater is a
gorgeous space for cocktails or a glass of wine with antipastos. It hosts regular events.
