Barfly's Club

Vienna


This sophisticated low-lit bar is famous for its extensive cocktail list and intimate ambience, which attracts a regular crowd of journalists and actors. It's decorated with photos of Ernest Hemingway, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Marilyn Monroe, plus the Rat Pack, whose music plays in the background. Drinks aren't cheap, but they're among the city's best.

Its humidor stocks Cuban and Dominican cigars.
