Sky Bar Vienna delivers exactly what its name promises—elevated drinks and skyline views, right in the heart of the city. Perched atop the Steffl department store on Kärntner Strasse, it’s a sleek, glass-wrapped perch with front-row seats to the spires of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the rooftops beyond.
The atmosphere is polished but unpretentious, drawing a mix of locals, travellers, and after-work regulars. Cocktails are crisp and competently made, spanning classics and signatures, while the wine list keeps a firm Austrian footing. Light bites and sushi round out the offering, though the real indulgence here is visual.
Whether you’re chasing golden hour, closing a deal, or simply want a drink with a view, Sky Bar provides a sharp, central escape above the bustle of Vienna’s old town.
