The Best Bars in Innsbruck
The new bar menu focuses on individualistic ingredients (pollen, elderberry, apricot) and, as always, is a visual treat. Tomato and sherry ("Tom&Sherry") add umami to the glass, and the non-alcoholic options are also top-notch. And for advanced barflies, mezcal meets strawberries. Delicious!
In the Oberliga, where Damir Bušić often represents Western Austria, it's all about the details; at the reception, with the drinks, with the ice cream. The international team pays a lot of attention to the latter - alongside Rose, it is one of the main characters in "Six Feet Under". Martini fans go for the "Up Side Down". Everything here is of the finest quality.
The snacks have been significantly upgraded (but the popcorn is still available) in the Rathausgalerien. New non-alcoholic options are available in the magnificent inner courtyard, as well as the peanut drink "Nutterrific" and "Palmside of Tiki" with strong Arrack. The steadfast can even explore the history of mankind in eight drinks.
High up on the 12th floor, the elegant bar invites its guests. Sonnenschein not only offers over 180 wines from Austria and around the world, but also serves great drinks. The sours are great, such as the daiquiri with homemade orange and thyme marmalade or the "Mallow Fizz" with mallow blossom gin.
You can also get a "whistle" in the casual vaulted bar, but the focus is on the cocktails. The changing selection is always top-notch. Impressive are the delicious creations by bar manager Franz, such as "Ain't it nutty?" with gin, walnut and vermouth. Matching bar food is served with the signature drinks.
No matter what the weather is like: thanks to the panoramic windows of the bar with sun terrace on the 5th floor, you can enjoy the view. Classic cocktails are mixed in the best style at the long bar. The changing signature drinks are also impressive, as is the range of whisk(e)y, rum and sparkling drinks - Bellini Royal, let's just say ...
A wonderful, charming bar is hidden on the 6th floor of the Altstadthotel, directly under the roof. Boss Brigitte offers local beer, good wines and a variety of great cocktails and drinks, such as the "Ratsch Katl" with apricot brandy and vanilla liqueur. Brigitte's Champagne Julep with a little brandy is also delicious.
Sophisticated yet relaxed: The Schindler celebrates high enjoyment. From classic aperitifs to cocktails and drinks, such as lychee martinis and sours, to fine spirits and schnapps - the quality is just right. The bar team is experienced and knowledgeable, and the Champagne selection is particularly large.
The name says it all - close to the campus, this relaxed bar has a casual living room atmosphere. The cocktail menu changes regularly and offers exciting facets, such as the "Golden Crystal Martini" with vodka, sherry, forest honey and violets. The attentive team is happy to offer advice and there are regular events.
Metin and Markus are true veterans of the Innsbruck bar scene. For three decades, their relaxed, classic cocktail bar has been all about drinks, drinks, drinks - from Cosmopolitan to Pornstar Martini, from stylish to fancy. The specials with seasonal fruit and high-quality spirits are also great.
To accompany the Italian dishes, the team offers a selection of aperitifs, for example Italian Paloma with Campari and grapefruit. Or the "Aperosa" with Prosecco and homemade currant and grapefruit cordial. The beautifully curated selection of (sparkling) wines, beers and homemade sodas adds to this.
An aperitif before the steak or a cocktail afterwards, that is the question. The specials such as "Hamburger Hafen" with gin sul, yuzu and lemon juice or "Golden Roof" with mango liqueur, bitter liqueur and peach puree are great. A good selection of whisk(e)y and regular live music events round off the offer.
The bar and restaurant stands for enjoyment at any time of day. Opened in 2022, it already has a firm place in the Innsbruck scene. The expertly mixed cocktails and drinks can be enjoyed at the bar, the heart of the stylish interior, or on the terrace in fine weather. Good espresso.
This friendly café bar is relaxed and cozy, which is also reflected in the menu. The offer varies slightly depending on the season, sours such as the "LimoncEnzo" or the "Zirben Sour" are particularly popular in summer. A good selection of beers, solid drinks, fine spirits and small dishes round off the menu.
The bar on the ground floor of Irmgard Sitzwohl and Elisabeth Geisler's popular restaurant scores with excellent wines, great aperitif options such as Prosecco with stirred blackberry gin fizz sorbet and an impeccable selection of cocktails. When the weather is fine, drinks are also served on the terrace on Stadtforum-Platz.
Next stop: Angerzellgasse! In this friendly shot bar, "shots" play the leading role - in all variations. The menu is based on a line map and offers ten different lines with more than 100 different shots - from sweet to sour, from familiar to exotic, from "Summer Line" to "Ski Bus".
