Loos American Bar

Top choice in Vienna


Loos is the spot in the Innere Stadt (city centre) for a classic cocktail such as its signature dry martini, expertly whipped up by talented mixologists. Designed by Austrian architect Adolf Loos in 1908, this tiny 27-sq-metre box (seating just 20 or so patrons) is bedecked from head to toe in onyx, marble, mahogany and polished brass, with space-enhancing mirrored walls.
