I’ve seen such mixed reviews that I wasn’t sure I wanted to come and be disappointed, but we got a great table without a booking and had a great time. The drinks are not cheap, but we were very pleased with them (I loved the Smoke Martini). I was excited to see the design of the space.
Our friend who lives in Vienna recommended the Loos American Bar so we went. The bar is very very small and intimate, so I think reservations are recommended. We were lucky to snag a table for two for one hour as someone had it reserved for little later. The decor is modernist, simple but has mahogany wood and onyx marble walls The cocktails were tasty.
Great bar, quite small so maybe reserve if you know when you’re going to be there. Excellent Negroni. Amazing interior from 1908!
Loos American Bar on Kärntner Durchgang is a bijou Viennese study in compression: an American-bar idiom fitted into barely 27 square metres. Designed by Adolf Loos in 1907-1908, it carries counter service, close seating, drinking and club-like intimacy without tipping into visual congestion. The effect comes through controlled illusion, not plainness. Dark mahogany contains the walls; brass catches the light; leather gives the banquettes weight; mirrors above the panelling multiply the marble columns and send the coffered ceiling into apparent depth. Filtered onyx-marble light at the entrance adds atmosphere without clutter. The result is not America transplanted to Vienna, but Vienna compressing the idiom into something smaller, denser and organised around proximity.
Loos American Bar is a private classy bar perfect for dates or private small gatherings. The place is small, but beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful, catering to your needs. There is a large variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. There is a subtle jazz/ classy music playing in the background enhancing the experience, and the lighting sets the mood just right. Definitely worth a visit.
