The best bars in Innsbruck

Bar in an ancient vault: the "Fuchs & Hase" is hidden away on Domplatz. Creative drinks and natural wines from small winegrowers provide a special flavour experience. You won't want to say goodnight here for a long time!

Guest garden: yes, with a direct view of Innsbruck Cathedral
Dishes: sandwich creations such as the "Vietnamese Banh Mi" with pulled pork, pickled radish, fresh coriander and homemade Sriracha soy sauce
Recommendation on the drinks menu: " Fuchs & Hase-Spezial Sprudel" in white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple and green. For example: "Weißer Sprudel" with mango, yoghurt liqueur, soda and Prosecco
Non-alcoholic: homemade cola
Our tip, because the guest garden offers shade in an urban setting in summer.

Good music, beautiful design and even better drinks - on warm evenings you can sit outside in the covered arch. Close to the "Messe" S-Bahn station, the "Plansch" opens in arch number 69, taking the name of the former swimming pool pub from Amras. Great fun!

Guest garden: even two - west and east
Recommendation on the drinks menu: " Negroni Sbagliato" - the light version of the classic Negroni. Mixed with Prosecco instead of gin.
Non-alcoholic: " Zirbe Zitrone" with fresh strawberries and basil
Our tip, because you can always find a cosy spot - in summer on the eastern terrace, in spring and autumn to the west and in winter inside.

The Blaue Brigitte in the "Hotel Weisses Kreuz" is no ordinary attic. Instead of a bar, you sit at a large brass table - perfect for striking up a conversation. The furnishings: baroque style, blue and gold and elegant.

Guest garden: no, otherwise it wouldn't be a rooftop bar
Recommendation on the drinks menu: "The bee in the lemon tree", a very special cocktail with a light honey and thyme flavour. To prepare it, vodka is chilled for 24 hours with honey and thyme.
Non-alcoholic: " Basil smash", a non-alcoholic variation of "Gin Basil smash", with homemade basil syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice and Tanqueray alcool free gin.
Our tip, because the bar is both classy and cosy. It also has a chilled sound, just right for the end of a working day.

La Cantina has been a hotspot for Italian flair and probably the best espresso in town for years. Whether for breakfast with freshly baked cornetti, a lunchtime snack or a glass of wine in the evening - there is always a convivial get-together here. The "Aperitivo" on Thursdays with a delicious buffet "à la Milano" is particularly popular.

Guest garden: yes
Dishes: yes
Recommendation on the drinks menu: in addition to fine Italian wines such as Lugana (my personal favourite), the taste of the coffee is a real highlight. In summer, you should definitely try the "affogato" (espresso with vanilla ice cream).
Our tip, because the coffee tastes just like in Italy

At Kater Noster, everyone can find their place - on sofas, chairs or bar stools, in a great mix like at a nice flea market. The relaxed atmosphere invites you to chat, relax or work. In the evening, things get lively with cool beers and unusual long drinks.

Guest garden: on the pavement in front of the restaurant
Dishes: soups & stews, cakes
Recommendation on the drinks menu: "Gin & Tonic". You can put together your own personalised gin and tonic from 30 different types of gin and many matching tonics. The bartender recommends a "Star" gin & tonic, the "Star of Bombay" with lemongrass, pink grapefruit, tonic and pepper
Non-alcoholic: vanilla-cinnamon iced coffee (not too sweet, perfect for the guest garden)
Our tip, because you can get really good drinks here in an urban atmosphere far from the classic tourist trails.

You won't stumble in here, because the "Stage Bar" is hidden behind the historic façade of the "Stage 12 Hotel" in Maria-Theresien-Straße. The stylish bar with small tables and cosy armchairs offers creative cocktails, chilled music and fresh popcorn in a variety of flavours.

Guest garden: Guest garden oasis in the inner courtyard & guest garden in Maria-Theresie-Straße
Food: no
Recommendation on the drinks menu: "Herbal Highball" with Beefeater Dry Gin, ginger, lemongrass, lavender vinegar, Schweppes Ginger Ale
Non-alcoholic: Eizbach Crystal Coke (transparent cola from Munich)
Our tip, because this bar brings a breath of fresh air to Innsbruck's bar scene.

An after-work drink in a pizzeria? Yes, in the pizzeria! Stylish bar with Italian flair and a cosy atmosphere. The bartender knows his craft - not just mixing, but celebrating. Homemade piadine romagnole or olive ascolane are free if you treat yourself to a drink at the bar.

Outdoor dining area: yes, only for dinner due to limited space, reservation required
Dishes: perhaps the best pizza in town!
Recommendation on the drinks menu: "Americano", fuller or "lighter" on request
Non-alcoholic: a "gin bitter" without gin, but with ginger. 
Our tip, because pizza and aperitivo lungo go perfectly together

At Tribaun, guests can expect a bar with numerous taps for freshly tapped beer that will make the heart of any beer lover beat faster. Craft beers from small breweries are available here. The friendly barman will help you find the perfect beer so that every sip is a pleasure!

Guest garden: yes
Food: nachos, tarte flambée, pizza on certain days
After-work special: live acts every now and then, information on the Facebook page
My recommendation from the drinks menu: Blond Funky Wheat, at 3.75% one of the lighter beers, rather sour but very drinkable.Or a Bierol, from a small brewery in Schwoich, with 5.6%
Non-alcoholic: "Fenitmas", Curiosity Cola
Our tip, because it broadens the horizon in the beer heaven - in a cool location!

The Paninothek is bright, stylish and simply great. Whether for breakfast or a quick espresso - everyone will find something to suit them here. Italian specialities are served at lunchtime and fine wines and classic aperitifs in the evening. On Wednesdays, the place is transformed into an "Apéro Wednesday" with live music - and the bread? Almost like in Italy!

Guest garden: yes
Dishes: Panini, focaccia, pizza etc.
Afterwork special: "Apem Wednesday", every Wednesday from 5.00 pm
My recommendation on the drinks menu: as I'm a fan of aperitivi lungi, I recommend the "Negroni" with gin, vermouth and Campari
Our tip because it's a very nice place where you feel at home.

You can always go to the laundry! To the right of the entrance is a large billiard room and much more: table football, darts and board games. To the left is the bar with cosy corners and excellent food. The roof terrace with lounge furniture offers a magnificent view of the Nordkette and provides moments of happiness.

Guest garden: Roof terrace with a view of the Nordkette
Dining: Excellent food, including snacks such as tacos
After-work special: yes, for example on Tuesdays ladies play billiards for free from 6.00 pm
My recommendation on the drinks menu: "Americano" (Campari, Vermouth rosso, soda)
Non-alcoholic: "Taxi Driver", lemon, passion fruit, ginger ale, cucumber
Our tip, because it's so cosy and casual.

A nostalgic bar with restaurant and crystal chandelier! The Wilderin offers delicious specialities, which can be served as "Magenkitzler" portions on request - ideal for a small appetite after work. The ingredients are sourced from regional farms and the landlord keeps a close eye on where the meat comes from!

Guest garden: no
Dishes: yes
After-work special: no
My recommendation on the drinks menu:"There comes a time in a woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne," says a quote from Bette Davis on the Wildnerin website. So that you can also treat yourself to a glass of the noble drink in less dramatic moments, the "Wilderin" offers a Crémant Princess Lea, bubbles and tastes like champagne, but costs significantly less
Alcohol-free: Spicy Ginger
My tip because there is a pleasant atmosphere.

The elegant bar area of the Schindler has long been a popular meeting place for after work or the start of Innsbruck's nightlife. A sophisticated atmosphere and fine house sounds create a great atmosphere here. Renowned DJs such as "The Waz Experience" play on Fridays and Saturdays - the friendly bar team takes care of the rest!

Guest garden: no
Food: Orders from the restaurant to the bar are possible.
Afterwork special: DJ on Friday and Saturday
My recommendations on the drinks menu: a glass of wine, e.g. a Sauvignon Blanc from Burgenland, Selektion Schindler
Non-alcoholic: Virgin Schindler cocktail (lychee, lime juice, coconut syrup, passion fruit)
Our tip, because there's almost always a good atmosphere here.

Probably the bar with one of the most beautiful views in Innsbruck! When the weather is fine, the terrace at Adlers is the ideal place. The modern interior with lots of glass ensures the best view. Events with DJ music add to the atmosphere.

Guest garden: terrace with breathtaking views of the city and the mountains
Food: in the neighbouring restaurant
My recommendation on the drinks menu: " French Kiss" with rosé wine, grapfruit syrup, lime juice
Non-alcoholic: San Pellegrino Aranciata

A friendly restaurant with an uncomplicated atmosphere that is very popular with students. The burritos are legendarily good! The design of Machete is appealing and the service is friendly.

Guest garden: yes, terrace facing Anichstraße
Food: They serve super tasty burritos that you can put together yourself.
My recommendation on the drinks menu: Craft beer from Tyrol "Bierol Going Hazelnut"
Non-alcoholic: natural "Fritz Kola"
Our tip, because the burritos are simply awesome.

It almost seems like you're in heaven here - but it's only the seventh floor of the town hall! Lots of glass and views in the 360°invites you to linger, not only in the evening, but also in the afternoon to soak up the sun. The panoramic view over Innsbruck is simply "wow". At Fön there are exciting aeroplane landings!

Guest garden: all-round balcony - seats in the sunshine are in high demand even in winter!
Food: no
After work special: the sunset!!!
My recommendation on the drinks menu: a white spritzer goes well with the summer feeling on the balcony
