Mariatrink sits on the seventh floor of the Jaz in the City hotel on Windmuhlgasse, in Vienna's Mariahilf district. The Rooftop Guide lists it as one of the city's rooftop bars, with an indoor lounge and an open terrace looking toward the main station and the inner city. The pitch is signature cocktails and DJ nights above the sixth district rather than a hotel-lobby bar.

The room
The bar splits between a sleek indoor lounge and a wide outdoor terrace, the seat to ask for when the weather holds. The mood leans bohemian and down-to-earth rather than formal, with DJ sets and jazzier tunes through the evening. The crowd mixes hotel guests, after-work drinkers and locals up for the view.
Windmuhlgasse runs through Mariahilf near the Mariahilfer Strasse shopping strip, a short walk from the Naschmarkt. The seventh-floor address gives Mariatrink a clear sweep over the rooftops toward the main station. The terrace is the draw, with the city laid out below the rail. The hotel sits a short walk from the Naschmarkt and the Mariahilfer Strasse shops, which feeds a steady evening crowd up to the roof.
What to order
The bar runs a list of signature cocktails alongside wine and a short kitchen of hearty bites. Guests on Tripadvisor single out drinks such as the Sweet Kentucky and a matcha signature, with weekend brunch added to the daytime offer. The cocktails are pitched at the sunset and DJ crowd as much as the dinner tables.
For a first visit the signature list is the way in, since it is where the bar puts its character. The terrace suits a longer evening that moves from sunset drinks to DJ sets. Prices sit at the upper-mid range for a Vienna rooftop.
Who it is for
Mariatrink fits a couple after a sunset drink, an after-work group wanting a terrace, and anyone who rates a relaxed rooftop over a stiff hotel bar. Skip it for a quiet, formal evening, since the DJ nights keep the room lively. It rewards guests who book the terrace for dusk, and it works as well for a relaxed afternoon brunch as a late evening.
Best time to go
The bar opens daily from 11am to 3am, so the day runs from brunch through to a late terrace. Sunset is the move, when the light drops over the rooftops toward the station. An early-evening table beats the after-work rush from Mariahilf.
Warm months are the rooftop at its best, when the terrace opens fully and the DJ nights run late. A backup indoor seat is worth holding in the wet season. Booking ahead is wise for a sunset table, given the terrace size.
The detail worth knowing
The seventh-floor terrace is the detail that sets it apart, since few Mariahilf rooftops put this view within easy reach of Mariahilfer Strasse. Vienna Wurstelstand covered its opening as a new rooftop on the Jaz in the City hotel, pairing drinks with DJ nights. The bohemian, down-to-earth styling marks it out from the city's formal hotel rooftops.
Pairing a terrace view with a DJ-led evening gives it a longer night than a lobby bar manages. The daily 11am-to-3am hours let it run from brunch to last call. It has become a steady name on Vienna rooftop lists since opening, helped by the late close and the central Mariahilf address. The terrace and the indoor lounge give it a seat in most weathers, which few open-air rooftops manage.
The bottom line
Mariatrink is the rooftop of the Jaz in the City hotel in Mariahilf, a seventh-floor lounge and terrace with signature cocktails and DJ nights. Come for sunset, book the terrace, and start with a signature drink. It is a relaxed rooftop rather than a formal hotel bar, and the city view is the reason to go up.
