Party all night at the Mooserwirt Bar
There’s local slang for the kind of giddy feeling this bar gives you, and it’s called ‘Mooserwirt Syndrome’. This is partying at its hardest, but in a stylish lodge building surrounded by gorgeous mountains, typical of Austria holidays. Drinking at sunset then dancing to dawn is the norm here, with cheap, tasty schnapps and DJs spinning euro-techno beats.
Feel the sunshine at Bar Cuba

Keep it classy at Anton Bar
While DJs light up the dancefloor here on plenty of big nights throughout the year, Anton Bar typically takes the form of an enjoyable night out that doesn’t end in heartbreak and hangovers. Coupled with a stylish interior, this makes for a more measured night of drinking – although it’s sports on the big screen offer a laid-back vibe.
Get warm and cosy in Scotty's Bar
There’s a good range of food to be had if you’re getting peckish over a pint at Scotty’s Bar, with pizzas and burgers a particular highlight. It’s the affordable ales and table football that tend to draw the crowds though, thanks to its handsome pub feel both inside and out.
Sink your teeth into Fanghouse

It helps that the beers come in big jars and are extremely affordable, while a selection of light bites keep energy levels up as you dance into the evening.
Small but mighty, Pub 37
The number in the name is said to describe how many people can fit in this small-yet-welcoming pub. It’s popular with British holidaymakers looking for a taste of home and is decked out like the finest local, but luckily the beers here are a bit more affordable. A good selection of draughts and ciders means there’s a tipple for everyone.
It’s sumptuously modern in Niki’s Weinbar, which suits its wine bar status. Luckily the pricing is decent, as is the wide range of wines and vintages on offer. While gourmet cuisine keeps the early evening crowd satisfied, the white wines, alongside the red and rose options, are the real stars of the show. Knowledgeable staff know exactly how to match your palate too.
