Krypt

Hidden Gems $$$

Krypt is a hidden cocktail bar below a Vienna bookshop in Innere Stadt. You enter through the bookshop, find the small spiral staircase, and descend into a 30-seat basement cocktail room with serious classical discipline.

The drinks are precise. The back bar has unusual depth in absinthe and herbal liqueurs, over 50 absinthes from across Europe. The cocktail menu rotates seasonally with thoughtful original cocktails alongside immaculate classics.

The crowd is mid-thirties Vienna cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Loos American Bar for a complete Innere Stadt cocktail evening.
