The area
Address
Neighborhood: Inner City
In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the center. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

- specks123Kilcock, Ireland79 contributionsGreat bar - fabulous vibe! Beautiful cocktails in a lovely comfy setting, great jazz vibe and huge range of cocktails. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and suggested various mixes. Late night service so great for after an evening meal. Thoroughly recommended!Visited February 2025Traveled as a coupleWritten February 23, 2025
- HakanHeidelberg, Germany1 contributionThe drinks and cocktails were really top – great taste and well mixed! Prices are absolutely normal by Viennese standards. However, the audience was rather older, so we felt a bit too young for the store at 20 and 22. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere with a more mature audience, this is the place!Visited March 2025Traveled as a coupleWritten March 6, 2025
- DeramoreBelfast, United Kingdom444 contributionsVisited twice during our short stay in Vienna. It’s tiny inside, so we were very lucky to get three seats at the bar on both occasions. The decor is amazing, and of course the cocktail shaking bar staff provide a constant theatre. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It’s not cheap, but the drinks are great. Happy to recommend.Visited November 2024Traveled with friendsWritten November 3, 2024
- DocDanielBerlin, Germany647 contributionsNamed after the architect Adolf Loos, who built this bar in 1907/1908. Thanks to the cleverly placed large wall mirrors, the 25 sqm room appears much larger. Impressive design features, most of which are still in their original condition. Thanks to the outdoor area, there are still plenty of places to sit. The service is excellent, as are the drinks. We had espresso martini and pornstar martini, both excellently mixed and presented. As a small accompaniment, there was a bowl full of fresh strawberries, which was very pleasant in the summer temperatures. Overall, highly recommended!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 18, 2024
- Wayne MCarmarthenshire, United Kingdom36 contributionsJust off the main drag this is a tiny but seriously cool bar. I mean seriously cool! Bar staff were great and very knowledgeable about cocktails the decor was great the atmosphere was warm, fun and friendly. Managed to find seats at the bar on first occasion because inside is very small. They also have an outside seated area with heating for the cold nightsVisited January 2025Traveled as a coupleWritten January 27, 2025

Some arrogant main waiter denied us entrance inside due to some ridiculous "no shorts" rule, as outside is nearly 30C. That he had ridiculous tattoos around the neck or that he had a weird haircut (long hair while half bold, looking very disorderly to me) did not seem to bother him at all, though. Our actual waiter was nice. But the cocktails were feeling like 70-80% ice blocks. Correspondingly, their initially nice and intensive taste watered down later on very, very much. Things used to be much better.

We visited on a Saturday evening so we weren’t really surprised to find that the inside seating areas were full. It was a chilly evening but the heat lamps and blankets were enough to keep off the cold while we enjoyed our drinks outside. The servers were very attentive and pleasant and the drinks we very good with your average cocktail bar prices.

Loos American Bar has a very tiny interior, so becomes full very easily. Our hotel was nearby so we stopped off for a drink most evening on our way home. Service is efficient, staff were busily making cocktails and serving wine. Its nice for a drink of two, but it is a little expensive.

It's tiny inside (seating for six couples plus half a dozen bar chairs) but quite beautiful. The cocktails however did not live upto expectation. Two cocktails cost 33 euros, and were packed with huge ice cubes. Could hardly taste any alcohol, and the one called penicillin tasted bike, when asked if we enjoyed them we pointed out about the alcohol and was told there is at least the regulatory 5cl of alcohol in them. We paid thinking it was a tourist rip off. Suggest you go in when it's busy take a few photos and leave.

Steep fall from grace. Been going here since 2005. Sad to see the place get trashier, and with a penchant for ethnic and social profiling. Very disappointing. Think this might be it.
You can get cheaper, as nice cocktails elsewhere within 100meters, without the racist barmen/servers. Shame about the space though… will miss it

Me and my friends were out in Vienna attempted to go in but was stopped as wearing shorts. We were all smartly dressed in smart clothing chino shorts. Brands such as Ralph Lauren etc. However the rule is no shorts (In height of summer) I would never argue with someone who does not wish to take my money there is always someone who will. Found a great place 8 min walk our tab was 1700 euros! Loos bar clearly do not need or want this money.

Famous historical place. It's ok to have a dress code, but then if I order a soft drink you can't refuse me because you only serve cocktails and champagne. When marketing logic overcomes culture and denies the experience to enthusiasts. Sin

Don't bother unless you are "pretty people". They have no idea what a "real American bar" is.
Thing that's really funny, the guy that told us we weren't welcome there because I had on golf shorts, saw us later coming out of another bar, where HE was drinking, and said sarcastically "Well hello..."

We came here two years ago and loved it. We met some film production directors from USA and found the bar to be so relaxing. Hence, we went back today without hesitation. Initially we thought a coffee, then a beer instead and then I spied the Blue Gin. It turned out to be an Austrian Gin and of course I couldn’t turn it down when our bartender Nick said it’s served with Sage and Grapefruit. Suddenly our quick trip became 2 hours as we chatted to Nick and then a guy from the USA who regaled in his car travels around Australia. Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Very small, dimly lit bar with a comfortable atmosphere. We went in the afternoon and there were already quite a few patrons there so be warned, if you go in the evening it may be hard to find a seat. That being said, the drinks were absolutely delicious. They definitely know what they are doing when it comes to cocktails. The drinks were pretty reasonably priced although certainly not cheap.
