5 Best Bars in Linz, Day Trips from Vienna

The city's coolest cocktail bar can be found within this long and atmospheric vaulted cellar just off the Hauptplatz. Expert mixologists serve an array of unique, crafty cocktails, incorporating everything from port wine to peanut butter.

Located in the Hotel Schillerpark, the casino has roulette, blackjack, poker, and slot machines (and a formal dress code). The less formal Jackpot Casino does not require a jacket and tie. Note that a passport is required for entry.

This hopping establishment has its own home-brewed beer on tap, light snacks, and hearty regional dishes.

This hip stone-and-glass bar serves a great selection of Austrian wines and beers, including their own (superb) pale ale. They're open from early 'til late and do good food (including mean burgers) all day long—come at lunch for the bargain set menu (€12.90 for three courses).
